Joe Schanno

Criminal Justice / Public Safety Joe will partner with law enforcement to secure the resources needed to maintain peace and safety in Ocean Pines and across the county. Infrastructure / Transportation Ocean Pines currently subsidizes other parts of Worcester County through higher sewage and water rates, and Joe believes this is not fair to residents. He will advocate for Ocean Pines and work to prevent rate increases for services the community is already overpaying for. Housing Joe will advocate for common-sense development policies that help responsibly grow communities and make Ocean Pines affordable again. Education Joe believes it is essential to preserve the fiscal health of Worcester County’s unique school system and protect the opportunities it provides while ensuring local schools remain in control of decisions that affect students and families. Environment / Energy Joe will stand against proposals to build wind farms off the coast of Ocean City, advocating for local control and solutions that preserve the environment while supporting the county’s economy and way of life. Infrastructure / Transportation Joe will fight for improved infrastructure in Worcester County including projects critical to Ocean Pines residents like widening Route 589/Racetrack Road.
