“It is amazing how much can be accomplished when people work together. Engaging non-profits, state agencies, and the public enables cross-functional collaboration to holistically solve challenges. I have met all four counties' commissions/council, as well as most of the municipal councils/commissions in the District. We will work together to solve the challenges in District 36.” (Campaign website (votemichelleravert.org))
“Annapolis passes too many one-size-fits-all bills that just don't seem to fit in District 36. I will advocate for amendment or exclusion to ensure all State legislation fits the counties, municipalities, and people of District 36.” (Campaign website (votemichelleravert.org))
