Where Kathy stands
Public safety and backing the blue
Kathy opposed the Youth Charging Reform Act and secured a $150,000 request for FOP Lodge No. 34. Consequences and support, in that order.
- $150,000
- Filed for FOP Lodge No. 34
- 2020
- Police Reform and Accountability Work Group
- Opposed
- The Youth Charging Reform Act
Baltimore County families have watched places they used to take their kids become places they avoid. Towson Town Center is the clearest example — retailers leaving over shoplifting, robberies, assaults, and response times that never improved.
This past session the majority passed the Youth Charging Reform Act, ending automatic adult charging for most crimes committed by juveniles. Kathy opposed it. Weeks later, a group of ten juveniles between the ages of eleven and fourteen swarmed a girl near a Towson bus stop in daylight. She has asked the obvious question since: how does anyone learn accountability from a system built to avoid it?
She was appointed to the Police Reform and Accountability Work Group in 2020 and has backed the officers, deputies, and first responders who take the call. In the 2026 session she filed a $150,000 bond initiative for Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 34.
“We need real accountability, stronger consequences for serious juvenile crime, and a return to supporting strong families and moral clarity — not more experiments that endanger our communities.”
What Kathy is fighting for
- Roll back the Youth Charging Reform Act
- Real consequences for serious and violent juvenile crime
- Back the officers, deputies, and first responders who answer the call
- Fund the lodges and stations that serve Baltimore County
