ABOUT

Davidson for Maryland Delegate (district 27C)

A New Voice, Real Results! As a resident of Calvert County, I am running to represent District 27C because I believe our community deserves a MD Delegate who prioritizes results over rhetoric. For too long, our representation has been defined by partisanship that leaves Calvert County behind. My mission is to provide responsible, fair, and bipartisan leadership that protects our unique rural character while securing the resources our schools, veterans, and farmers need to thrive, making our county a better place to live.

THANK YOU!

I would like to thank everyone who voted for me in the primary election! I won 80% of the primary vote, now we need to make it happen again in November. I am so grateful to you for your vote!

The Affordability Crisis

Economy

Our economy isn't working for working families. Since 2024, the cost of living has skyrocketed. The people of Maryland want to be able to pay their bills and care for their families. Our leadership has not been looking out for us, I plan to change that if I am elected State Delegate for 27C. Families are hurting, and prices continue to rise: healthcare costs have exploded and families with health issues are having to make very serious decisions about what is more important, medicine or food. No one should have to make that decision.

Our population in Calvert County is changing; young people and retirees are leaving the county, (sometimes the state), to seek an affordable living elsewhere. There is a shortage of affordable housing that has persisted in this county for years. I will work for incentives for homebuilders to build more affordable housing, and work for first time homebuyer incentives that actually make purchasing a home easier on young families.

Education

As a 28 year veteran educator in Anne Arundel County and a parent of 3 children who have graduated high school from Calvert County public schools, I have made some observations about the public school systems over the past decades. Let me share what I have seen and the conclusions I have come to, regarding the challenges for teachers in Southern Maryland.

Every election year, teachers are given countless promises by politicians regarding pay and compensation increases. However, once the election year is over, the funding for competitive salaries suddenly disappears. The question is, what benefit to our students does this provide?

Nearly 50% of Maryland teachers have to work a second job and sometimes a third to live comfortably; that is unacceptable. I will fight to make sure that teachers' salaries are a priority every year. Right now, Maryland is hemorrhaging teachers and the workload continues to increase. I will work to solve that problem, and will welcome input from all parties involved from any party to help solve it.

Farmers

Many of my students are members of the FFA, the high school I work in has an amazing Agricultural Sciences professor. For years I have faced muddy boots in my classroom from the hardworking kids who wake up early to care for their animals. I am extremely concerned about our farmers.

The farming community has been ignored by politicians yet continues to face heavy burdens including: rising costs, retaliatory tariffs, monopolies, and

increased environmental reporting regulations. These concerns have led to a reduction of profitability in farming as a profession. Many Maryland and Calvert County farms have shrunk both in number, and in acreage in the last decade, and are operating year after year at a loss .

We should be supporting farmers, increasing our state's protection of farms through insurance and zero cost loans to farmers who need them. When I am elected, I will support the farmers of Maryland as they navigate this uncertain period of time.

Veterans

-Our veterans and their families need to know that they are appreciated. As the wife of an Air Force veteran, I've experienced some of the struggles that military families face. My husband was activated on 9-11 and deployed a year later leaving me with a newborn and a toddler; I really struggled. We need to increase support for military families. I plan to propose legislation that will provide more funding for organizations that assist veterans who want to apply for disability benefits, who provide support for military families during deployments, guidance on the GI Bill, VA loan options and even childcare options for working military spouses. There is a lot of free help out there, but it is a difficult and lengthy process, many veterans don’t know how to access that support. Providing additional funds to these programs could help them promote themselves, hire extra staff, and expand their programs to help many Calvert military families.

My Platform

Data Centers

Do you have an extra $20,000 in the bank for a brand new well if yours runs dry? I know I don’t, data centers require a lot of water and our aquifer is shrinking already. Data centers built in Calvert would be competing with homeowners over our water and energy supply. Data centers also require enormous amounts of electricity, increasing the already high costs of energy for Calvert families. My biggest concern is that we don't have enough data on the impact of data centers on the environment, or on families living nearby.

Decrease in home values is another major financial issue that may be caused by building data centers in our communities. No one wants to live near a data center, so the citizens living in Lusby and other areas where data centers are being considered, will likely lose value on their properties once these centers are built.

Corporations like to promise new job opportunities in the communities where they want to build their centers, but these jobs only last until the center is constructed, then those short term workers will be let go.

Proponents say that if we allow data centers in Calvert then we can basically demand a blank check to pay for community projects, but I don't believe these corporations can be trusted. They can bargain in bad faith because they know that once the center is built, there is little we can do about it if they choose not to live up to those promises. They have the money to keep lawsuits tied up in the courts for years.

Decisions regarding large and powerful companies moving into our neighborhoods and that are so consequential to Maryland families, should never be left entirely to the county commissioners. We don't have enough information on the impact of a huge data center on the plan to take the issue of data centers to the state level to protect our beautiful state and my hardworking neighbors.
