Not vote for Republican House leadership or help advance the Republican agenda.

I will not do what Connie Morella does at the beginning of each session – vote for the Republican leadership in the House. That means I will not contribute to a Republican agenda that is turning back the clock on so many issues that are important to our community and on which we have made progress in Maryland.

Makes a negative commitment not to support Republican House leadership.
