House of Delegates:

Scott Graham

Scott Graham

Candidate Video Introduction

There are solutions to Baltimore's problems. Whether we lower the real estate property tax rate by half (see Renew Baltimore)

or whether we add competition to city schools (I'm an insurance broker and North Ave would definitely sharpen its pencils if there were legitimate (not captured charter school) competition.

Vacant properties - There are people working now in West Baltimore to change how the city handles its tax sales. More study is needed to find out how to increase the number of sales to owner occupiers, not speculators who will leave the properties unimproved and/or vacant. Pride in neighborhood is essential. 

Gas tax increase 7/1 - how are our 41st district residents of limited means going to cope with this? I say, stop the increase, including the sales tax increase. Don't put gas on the fire!

Please email me and tell me how we can fix the city's problems.  [email protected]

brian voss

Brian is a newcomer with hopes of helping to make a difference in Baltimore. Brian has been a city resident on and off since 1980, with the majority of years in Westport, Washington Hill and Butchers Hill.   Brian brings his solid mid-west values and common sense to every issue. As a 40-year Design/Build business owner, he has personally invested in the betterment of Baltimore City neighborhoods….and has also experienced the frustration of the city’s bureaucracy, unfriendly small business owner policies and outright disrespect for the city residents.  Baltimore City residents need help now. Let’s start with some common sense strategies in governance. Brian is not always politically correct but will always speak with authenticity and transparency.  

His campaign is anchored by the following core tenants of change he believes needs to happen to return Baltimore City to a growing, thriving city.
    • Make Baltimore City a safe place for people to live and visit through a strong crack down on criminal activity
    • Realign city funds to focus on the betterment of its citizens and away from dependence on government handouts
    • Transition residents off city-funded assistance programs with critical skills training that are employable including construction trades, public safety, technology, health care & education.  Defunding of Public Assistance…Funding of Training Programs
    • Improve Baltimore City schools through pay for performance for educators and funding of schools based on their performance as well. 
    • Support kids to have a solid career through the funding of trade schools, technology & health care programs and after school training programs 
    • Provide support for the homeless with mental health programs and get the homeless off the streets of Baltimore
