THE MERCER PLAN

A GOVERNING BLUEPRINT FOR THE FREDERICK COUNTY WE WANT TO BUILD

Politics is full of promises. Campaigns consist of candidates discussing the issues. But I want to talk about what I'd actually do …

Frederick County is growing, and that growth creates enormous opportunities. But it also brings enormous responsibilities.

We need more housing. We need good jobs. We need infrastructure. We need strong schools. We need to protect our farms and water. And we certainly need a government that plans beyond the next election cycle.

GROW SMART. INVEST IN PEOPLE. PROTECT WHAT MAKES FREDERICK HOME.
