In the Community
I am a proud resident of Camp Springs, and I was honored to swear in the new civic association board. The community members in District 8 love giving back. Thank you for all you do!
Rosecroft Raceway has been in our community for many years. Our team recently visited and even went back for Kentucky Derby Day! I don't think I have a career as a driver or jockey, but I can dream.
