Significant Accomplishment:
As a longtime proponent of public service as one of life’s highest callings, I am proud of the nearly 18 years I have served at the Federal Election Commission (FEC), an independent regulatory agency charged with administering and enforcing federal campaign finance laws. Throughout my tenure, the commission has struggled with difficult, complex issues as it sought to help define the delicate balance between valid governmental interests and our citizens’ constitutionally protected political activity. For me personally, it has been both rewarding and challenging to have some small part in helping to uphold and protect both citizen participation in and the viability of our democratic process.
Example of Mentoring:
Recently, there has been a significant turnover in senior staff at the Federal Election Commission, where I have worked for nearly 18 years. As a small federal agency (about 375 employees), such a large turnover has left a rather conspicuous, agency-wide gap in experience, knowledge, etc. Fortunately, there is a cadre of talented professionals who undoubtedly can fill this gap with training, guidance and encouragement from those with a longer tenure at the commission. To this end, I have made it a high priority to help ensure these dedicated professionals can manage the agency effectively to meet future challenges by building upon the foundation laid by their predecessors. In part this is accomplished by making a concerted effort to work with them on select projects and task forces.

Personal Accomplishment:
In addition to raising my son, now 23, to be a bright, caring and confident young man who has begun to contribute to our social, political and economic order in his own right, my most significant personal accomplishment has been the privilege of using my time as Maryland’s first lady to highlight and advance the vital issues I have championed in the community for more than 30 years. These issues include women’s history, health and rights; children and youth; the arts and arts education; heritage preservation; and mental health and hospice care. I look forward to pursuing community service further in the coming years.
