Our community deserves leadership that listens, common sense solutions, and commitment to building a stronger future. I'm running for Delegate because I believe in: 🏛 Reform-focused leadership 🏠Greater affordability 💵 Lower taxes 🚗 Rebuilding our roads and bridges Together, we can keep Montgomery County moving forward. Let's build a better tomorrow, right here at home.

I am a realist, results-focused Democratic candidate, running to represent District 17 (Rockville & Gaithersburg) in Maryland’s House of Delegates. In recent years, we have seen Marylanders priced out, and leaving the state in droves. Our bills are soaring, the state is increasing fees across the board, and now this folly of a war has jacked up fuel prices on top of everything else. Right now we have leaders who are more focused on being obstinate, or worse actively fighting for regressive policies. At each event this campaign cycle, I’ve seen my competitors spend majority of their time spouting glittering generalities, and mudslinging. If that is the energy they’re bringing to Annapolis, it’s no wonder Maryland is backsliding. According to U.S. News & World Report, nationally Maryland ranks: • 42 in Affordability • 45 in Transportation • 48 in Economic Growth • 35 in Public Safety As Marylanders, we don’t have to passively accept the degrading quality of our home. If you want someone who is going to focus solely on their constituents, if you want someone who won’t waste time playing into party politics, if you want someone who’s only concern is improving the quality of Maryland, then vote Reed for Delegate at the polls this month. Let’s turn things around together. #ReedForDelegate #LocalPolitics #Rockville #Gaithersburg

I love when I find random Six Flags souvenirs at the thrift store.

I’m proud to have composed music for 50% of these! (And ridden and enjoyed the others 50%)

Marylanders should be able to see exactly what every cent of our tax dollars are spent on. There needs to be transparency on all accounting. More importantly, explicit justification for cent, there should be no irregularities or questionable spending.

Administrative bloat is dragging down our school systems. For every unnecessary admin, there is less money going towards schools, their upgrades, or supplies. It’s money not going towards children. As a substitute teacher, these exact concerns have been voiced to me many times by teachers, and department heads. We need reform.

Dropped it off to he digitized today!

Theming alert! Congratulations to the award-winning Six Flags Fiesta Texas team for continuing to enhance the park experience with additional theming and landscaping. Chupy is looking epic!

I already ripped a VHS copy of Six Flags’ film Barnaby and Me. But I’m very excited to announce I’ve obtained an original film print of the movie, so I’ll be able to share with you all a MUCH HIGHER quality scan of the movie!

Did you know in the 1970s, @SixFlags expanded into the film business? They released a handful of movies, including the film that introduced @SallyBoyden to the world, 'Barnaby and Me.'

Ten years ago, man I miss Six Flags America. 😭😭😭

Shout out to the SFOG culinary team on their perfect scores.

Best news ever!! #ComingSoon

I am running for Delegate, District 17, to bring a new, younger and fresher perspective to Annapolis.

Rain or shine Rotary Club Gaithersburg is outside honoring American heroes with their Field of Honor! Drop by Bohrer Park and sponsor a hero in your life! I nominated my uncle Theron Smith, who a few generations back passed away in France during WWI. Who will you name as your hero?

Since 2021, Maryland has gone without an official state song. This may seem like a nonissue to some. But shared cultural symbols, like a state song matter. It's part of the connective tissue that helps foster civic identity, state pride, tradition, and a sense of belonging cross generations of Marylanders. The obvious choice for a replacement is Henry Fillmore's Lord Baltimore March. Inspired by the founding of Maryland, it carried dignity, prestige, and historical character without any of the baggage that surrounded the previous song Maryland, My Maryland. Maryland deserves a state song that will unite people, and celebrate our history. At a time when America feels increasingly divided, Maryland should be investing in the shared traditions and cultural symbols that bring communities together. Regardless of whether I am elected, I will continue working to bridge the cultural gaps between our citizens, and strengthen our sense of common identity.
