Where I Stand

Click each tab for details on the issues that matter most to District 1.

Preserve Our Farmland

Frederick County's agricultural character is non-negotiable. Data center sprawl is consuming our farmland, straining our resources, and changing the landscape of our communities forever.

  • Reverse the East Alcoa data center expansion
  • Implement a moratorium on new data center approvals
  • Wait for the state environmental impact study to conclude
  • Protect agricultural zoning from commercial reclassification
  • Support local farmers with county-level programs

Keep Housing Affordable

Every family in Frederick County deserves a place to call home. We need real policy — not luxury developments marketed as "affordable."

  • Establish a countywide landlord registry
  • Implement rent stabilization protections
  • Pass good cause eviction ordinance
  • Require affordable units in every new multi-unit development
  • Create first-time homebuyer assistance programs

Hold Corporations Accountable

Corporations using our land and resources must pay their fair share and be held responsible for community impacts.

  • Mandate health and safety monitoring around data centers
  • Require environmental escrow funds from developers
  • Lobby the state for Business Personal Property tax on data center equipment
  • Full transparency on tax incentive packages
  • Community benefit agreements for all major developments

About Louisa

Brunswick resident. First-time homeowner. Your neighbor.

I moved to Frederick County because I fell in love with the land and the community. The rolling farmland, the small-town feel, the neighbors who show up for each other.

I'm running because both are under threat from unchecked corporate development and a county government that puts developer profits before people. District 1 deserves a representative who shows up, listens, and fights for the people who actually live here.
