Maryland House of Delegates Candidate

Kris Fair: Yes  "I sponsored and passed House Bill 1085 in the 2025 legislative session, one of the largest expansions of housing creation for low income families during our four year term."

Ken Kerr: Yes  "This is not a state issue and these policies are typically handled at the county level."

Andrew Duck: Yes  "I support Rent Stabilization, closing the buy out loophole for affordable housing in developments, and increased public housing."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I support funding and policies that create housing for households earning under thirty percent of the Area Median Income. We must hold developers accountable, leverage state grants for deeply affordable units, and protect renters. Every Marylander deserves a secure, affordable home."

Jerry Donald: Yes  "There are other things we can do. This country has a loneliness crisis. I think we should look for ways to make it easier for homeowners to take in borders."

Paul Gilligan: Yes  "Yes, affordable housing can be achieved through a planning process that allow building housing in concentration in urban communities."

Kris Fair: Yes  

Ken Kerr: Yes  "However, we have to wait for the commission to finish its work to see if monetary payments are determined to be appropriate."

Andrew Duck: Yes  "We need a comprehensive approach including education assistance, minority set-asides in government contracting, low cost housing financing, support for HBCUs, targeted assistance for minority neighborhoods.  I support MD Voting Rights Act.  We need Supreme Court reform to counter recent rulings."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I support state funded reparations. As a dedicated servant leader, I know true justice requires dismantling structural inequities. We must intentionally invest in Black communities and close the racial wealth gap to build an equitable Maryland."

Jerry Donald: Yes  "If by reparations you mean investing in disadvantaged communities."

Paul Gilligan: No  "No mechanism to inherit social debt to pay for the sins of our fathers."

Kris Fair: Yes  

Ken Kerr: Yes  "I voted for legislation to accomplish this."

Andrew Duck: Yes  "I oppose the 287g program.  ICE must follow the law and respect due process rights.  No camps, no cages, no family separations."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I support protecting immigrant civil rights and limiting voluntary local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Deputizing local police blurs jurisdictional lines and undermines community trust. We must focus our resources entirely on local public safety and constitutional policing."

Jerry Donald: Yes  "We do have situations where deportation is the best solution, but these ICE raids are horrible."

Paul Gilligan: Yes  "ICE is overused and too aggressive."

Kris Fair: Yes  

Ken Kerr: Yes  

Andrew Duck: Yes  "Overturn Bradley v. Veleo (money is not speech), overturn Citizens United (corporations are not people), end Section 230 of Telecommunication Act (says you can lie on the internet)."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I support publicly financed elections and laws ending unlimited spending by Super PACs and self-funded candidates. Our democracy belongs to the people, not corporate or special interest checks. We must empower small donors to restore true, accountable representation."

Jerry Donald: Yes  

Paul Gilligan: Yes  "Citizens United had damaged the political system."

Kris Fair: Yes  "This issue must be dealt with at the national level."

Ken Kerr: Yes  

Andrew Duck: Yes  "This MUST be done at the national level.  Both parties must play by the same rules.  We must respond if the other party is gerrymandering.  I support the Voting Rights Act requiring majority-minority districts."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  " I support ending partisan gerrymandering through an independent redistricting process. Voters must choose their representatives to ensure accountable governance. However, I approve the necessary exception this cycle to counter midcycle Republican redistricting efforts."

Jerry Donald: Yes  "We did not gerrymander Frederick County Council districts when we could have."

Paul Gilligan: Yes  

Kris Fair: Yes  

Ken Kerr: Yes   "I voted for legislation to address this"

Andrew Duck: Yes  "Our legal system should focus on rehabilitation, not incarceration.  We must monitor our justice system to measure racial bias, and act to correct racial bias."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I support restorative justice practices in all community and legal settings. Our justice system must prioritize rehabilitation over endless punishment. I will champion initiatives that heal communities, reduce recidivism, and hold offenders accountable through constructive dialogue."

Jerry Donald: Yes  

Paul Gilligan: Yes  

Kris Fair: Yes  

Ken Kerr: Yes   

Andrew Duck: Yes  "I support community oriented policing with a focus on violence prevention.  Early intervention with wrap around social services is the key to violence prevention.  See Baltimore City program."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I strongly support increased transparency, accountability, and civil rights protections. As a veteran, I know true security requires community trust. I will champion strict oversight measures to ensure constitutional policing serves and protects every Frederick County resident equitably."

Jerry Donald: Yes  

Paul Gilligan: Yes  

Kris Fair: Yes  

Ken Kerr: Yes   "This is primarily a local issue."

Andrew Duck: Yes  "See earlier response advocating increased funding for public housing.  A clearer definition of "affordable housing" is needed.  Transparency of information is needed."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "Public money demands public standards. I demand transparent reporting on units affordable at thirty percent of the Area Median Income. We must hold developers accountable and ensure our taxpayer investments actually house our most vulnerable Marylanders."

Jerry Donald: No  "I’m not sure how this helps anything."

Paul Gilligan: Yes  

Kris Fair: Yes  "My Joint Resolution introduced in 2025 and 2026 sought to accomplish this. "

Ken Kerr: Yes   "This is not within the authority of the office I am running for. The local board of education is elected to address this."

Andrew Duck: Yes  "We need to provide an honest, inclusive education that addresses all perspectives of our history. Learning art helps student learn reading and writing, learning music helps learning math, physical education makes students more attentive for other subjects."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I strongly support these vital public school initiatives. As a veteran and mother of five, I actively defend academic freedom and media literacy. We must provide students the tools to make informed decisions and navigate our complex world."

Jerry Donald: Yes  

Paul Gilligan: Yes   "Yes, to create a more diverse community."

Kris Fair: Yes 

Ken Kerr: Yes   "This too is a BoE responsibility.  Not a function of the office I seek."

Andrew Duck: Yes  "We must be able to communicate if we expect to teach.  I also support fully funding the Blueprint for Maryland's Future."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I strongly support increasing funds for English Language Learner students. Our schools must support every child equitably. As a mother of five, I know that language barriers should never block a student's potential. We must invest in our children's future."

Jerry Donald: No  "My experience as an educator is that immersion works best."

Paul Gilligan: Yes   

Kris Fair: Yes  "For all four years I was in office, I carried a Ranked Choice Voting bill."

Ken Kerr: Yes 

Andrew Duck: No "We must focus on voter turnout. More voters stay on the sofa than vote for any candidate.  Rank choice voting will scare voters away because they don't have the time to learn about all candidates. I support tax credits ($25) for voting, election day holiday, same-day registration, etc."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I strongly support ranked choice voting for public elections. This system encourages candidates to build broad coalitions and focus on substance rather than negative attacks. As a veteran, I believe our democracy functions best when we give voters greater choice and meaningful agency."

Jerry Donald: No  "I’m not going to support it until I see how it works over the years in other places."

Paul Gilligan: Yes  

Kris Fair: Yes  

Ken Kerr: Yes  "I have a record of voting for legislation to address this."

Andrew Duck: Yes "I will assist with organizing efforts and if a union goes on strike, I will join them on the picket line, as I have done with the Teamsters strike in Cumberland."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I support strengthening labor protections and collective bargaining rights. Collective bargaining forms the foundation of a strong middle class. As a veteran, I know unity achieves mission success. Workers deserve the fundamental right to organize and secure fair wages, safety, and respect."

Jerry Donald: Yes  "Public employee unions are well protected now."

Paul Gilligan: Yes  

Kris Fair: Yes  

Ken Kerr: Yes  "We passed legislation to address this."

Andrew Duck: Yes "Increased MARC train options, extend Metro towards Frederick, no toll on reversable HOV lanes for I-270.  Need 2nd hospital in Frederick County.  I support a Maryland MEDICARE For All and increased training to expand the number of health care providers."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "I strongly support transportation policies that expand access to jobs, schools, healthcare, and affordable housing. Infrastructure forms the backbone of public safety and economic opportunity. We must modernize transit systems to bridge the gap between growing residential areas and commercial hubs."

Jerry Donald: Yes  "We have free bus service in Frederick County and it works great!"

Paul Gilligan: Yes  "Yes, Smart Growth is still a viable planning option."

Kris Fair: Yes  

Ken Kerr: Yes  "This is a federal issue and not within the authority of the office I seek."

Andrew Duck: Yes  "Lethal operations in Latin America is not combat, it is murder.  We should never have initiated the war in Iran. "Enhanced interrogation" is torture and is not effective at gathering intelligence."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "As a combat veteran, I know adherence to the laws of war is non-negotiable. True security requires moral authority. I will publicly demand the United States strictly comply with all domestic laws, treaty obligations, and international law."

Jerry Donald: No  "This is above the reach of a delegate."

Paul Gilligan: Yes  

Kris Fair: Yes  

Ken Kerr: Yes  "We passed legislation to address this."

Andrew Duck: Yes  "We do not have enough electricity generation to power the planned data centers.  I want an energy budget to see electrical generation vs. consumption, state-wide and regional. We need renewable energy with storage to address shortage."

Alleria Stanley: Yes  "Unregulated data centers threaten our power grid and water supply. We must require these hyperscale facilities to supply their own power and implement sustainable cooling methods. I will always protect Maryland ratepayers from subsidizing massive corporate energy and infrastructure costs."

Jerry Donald: Yes  "Hard to do it without nuclear power."

Paul Gilligan: Yes  "Too much of the cost of DC development is put on to the community."
