Revitalizing Lexington Park - Linda's Cafe Being Forced to Vacate
Linda’s Cafe has been in business in the same location on Lexington Park for 35 years. She has been informed by her landlord that she must vacate the property in order to make way for a new Royal Farms gas station/convenience store (right across from Pax River Gate 2). I’m for free markets, but do we really need another gas station/convenience store….there?!? There are already 4 others within a mile not to mention the 2 run down and vacated stations within less than 1/2 a mile of that location. I agree with Linda that Lexington Park, especially the area in that immediate vicinity, needs to be revitalized, not cleared out for more dollar stores, vape shops, or gas stations. Lexington Park needs a growth and revitalization strategy. I’ll be interested to hear what the St. Marys County Commissioners have to say about this on Monday. Will they provide the leadership necessary to institute an strategic growth plan for Lexington Park?
Foreign Affairs
Honing my diplomatic skills in Belgrade, Serbia and Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, both former Yugoslavian countries. Met with Charg’e d’Affaires John Ginkel at the US Embassy in Serbia. Later in BiH held a bilateral meeting with Bosnian Defense Minister Sifet Podzic to discuss our continued partnership and the overall situation in Eastern Europe. Stopped in to visit Ambassador Mike Murphy at the US Embassy in Sarajevo. His team provided me a comprehensive country brief. Then, numerous activities with my friend Lieutenant General Senad Masovic’ culminating with a semi-formal dinner held in my honor at their BiH Army Hall. These are critical times for BiH and all former Yugoslavian countries. Proud to help them in their continued development and efforts to foster peace.
National Security Implications of War in Ukraine
Met today in DC with the current and former Ambassador from Estonia, Kristjan Prikk (current) and Jonatan Vseviov (former). Ambassador Vseviov is currently the MFA State Secretary. Estonia is one of the State Partners for Peace to the Maryland National Guard. Important conversation about the national security implications of the Ukrainian War, NATO, and the MDNG/Estonian partnership.

"Holiday" Gas Tax
Thanks to the Gas Tax "Holiday" Marylanders are spending 36 cents per gallon less on their gasoline for the next 30 days. Since the average American driver purchases about 12.5 gallons per week, that's about $20 less this month that we're spending on government. That's a good start!

Had the chance to get out and meet about 100 voters today in Calvert County in the Cove Point neighborhood. The main issue everyone wanted to talk about: replacing the Thomas Johnson Bridge.
