DOUGLAS PHILLIPS
FOR HARFORD COUNTY COUNCIL
PUTTING RESIDENTS FIRST
VISION &
PRIORITIES
Here are a few of the most important things Doug Phillips would do on the county council.
1
STOP OVER-
DEVELOPMENT IN ALL FORMS
I oppose expanding the development envelope or allowing heavy industrial uses on agricultural land. This means I oppose apartments of any type, as well as opposing data centers and solar arms. I believe our county zoning code needs an overhaul to favor preserving communities and disallowing high density. I oppose any bus lines to Baltimore City or County.
2
SMALL GOVERNMENT, LOW TAXES
I oppose any new taxes. I support a reduction of the county's property tax rate. We must monitor and maintain Harford's budget surplus and excellent bond rating. Spend wisely and monitor all expenditures on a continual basis. Make Harford County Schools accountable for its spending.
3
PUBLIC SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE
I oppose Wes Moore and Annapolis Democrats for attempting to tell our county what it must do. I support our law enforcement and first responders. I support federal law enforcement and immigration enforcement. I aim to preserve open space, expand preserved land and parks, maintain and increase our quality of life.
Harford County schools must focus on education, not indoctrination. We want schools that teach and promote valuable skills in a way that respects students and parents.
MEET DOUGLAS PHILLIPS
I grew up in a military family around people with high standards for themselves and others. From a young age, I learned to work hard. I have been married for many years to a life-long Marylander and we are raising two children in Churchville. I am a traditional conservative who enjoys family time, being involved in church, and helping out in the community.
I have built several businesses and, as an attorney in private practice, I have represented thousands of Marylanders and argued cases in nearly every court in Maryland. My practice is divided between three areas: Business Law, Estates and Trusts, and Criminal Defense. My main office is here in Harford County.
I have always been active in my community. I have been a head high school lacrosse coach and currently coach both lacrosse and wrestling at the youth/rec level. I attend Churchville Presbyterian Church and teach Vacation Bible School. I am a Churchville Lions Club member, volunteer at the Welcome One/Harford House homeless shelter in Belcamp, and contribute to numerous Harford County charities personally and through my businesses.
I love Harford County! Harford residents deserve much better representation than the current county council provides. I promise to represent the residents of District E and not special interests.
