Candidate Connection

Brian Marcos participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on July 11, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Brian Marcos's responses follow below.[1]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

Working with our schools to better the quality of education and assist our faculty with the necessities required to help our children.

Working with our law enforcement officials to lower the crime at all levels. This can not be tolerated and must be stopped before it gets any worse.
Work with our businesses to help stop closures and create incentives to bring new businesses and assist our small businesses grow and prosper.[2][3]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

Education, I will never place a price on our children. We must give them the best resources we can provide to help them grow and become successful adults. Ensuring our schools are properly staffed and not over crowded. Assisting our educators with the tools and training needed to ensure their success.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Brian Marcos answered the following:

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?

A number of motivational speakers, and leaders. To name a few, Ronald Reagan, Barak Obama, Leslie Brown, Eric Thomas. All men who have worked very hard to be where they are, and never stopped believing in their cause to help others and their communities.[3]
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
Compassion for your fellow citizens. Realize this is bigger than you, and you are doing this to bring positive change to your community. Without the people there is no need for elected officials.

Leadership, no being afraid to voice your opinion and lead the way to bring positive change back to your community. Being able to work with others to come to a mutual understanding and agreement that will satisfy all parties. Honesty and Integrity, we are doing this for our people. We must never forget why we are doing this.[3]

What qualities do you possess that would make you a successful officeholder?
Leadership, Compassion, Commitment and Passion, Honesty and Integrity.[3]
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
To ensure you understand your communities needs and make sure you are listening to your constituents. Too many of our citizens have no idea who their delegates are or what they do or how to contact them. The customer service aspect must be made easier to communicate and be heard. Our citizens needs and concerns must be our priority.[3]
What legacy would you like to leave?
An honest leader who always fought for what he believed in. Always looking out for his communities needs and being known to always be part of his community.[3]
What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at that time?
9.11. I was in 9th grade. It motivated me to always help others and make sure you spend as much time as you can with your loved ones. Tomorrow isn't promised and life is too short. I knew I wanted to do more for people all over the place, starting with my community.[3]
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
Captain Harvey's Seafood. I was a busser, assisting servers and the needs of the resteraunt. I was emplyed for almost 2 years, moved to a server and a cook, but still bussed or assisted in anyway needed to maintain a succesful business day.[3]
What happened on your most awkward date?
I'm really not sure to be honest. Not to say all of them have been boring, just don't think anything was ever really awkward that significantly stood out.[3]
What is your favorite holiday? Why?
Christmas. I used to enjoy it when I was young because I would receive the most toys and the family always got together, even distant cousins I didn't see often would come around. Now I still it enjoy it, but the roles have changed. I enjoy seeing the faces of my family and friends when they receive their gifts. It's also a good opportunity to come together and help others to ensure all kids have a Christmas.[3]
What was the last song that got stuck in your head?
Florence + the Machine, Stand by me[3]
Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?
Depends on the office your are running for. A higher office that requires great knowledge of the field, such as Governor, Mayor, County Executive yes. Delegates, councilmen and women not so much. Being able to learn and adapting to your new role is key to succeeding.[3]
What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?
Hard to say if there is just one. Ensuring Maryland's schools are once again ranked number one and controlling the crime especially in Baltimore city as it is affecting neighboring counties in a series of negative manners.[3]
What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature?
You definitely want a positive relationship where you can both talk to each other to come to under standings of how we got to the conclusions we are trying to push on each other. The governor runs the state, but he needs our help to better understand and help the people delegates represent. Delegates are responsible for a much smaller area and must know their constituents needs and concerns to be able to communicate this to the governor so we can ensure our state is always moving forward.[3]
Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.
Yes, we should all be able to work together and come to understandings that will help all parties and the people we represent. Forcing ones views on another is not solving an issues. Being able to see it from one another's point of view and understanding each other will greatly increase peaceful bipartisan agreements that will hopefully work for a greater quantity of people.[3]
What process do you favor for redistricting?
I support Governor Larry Hogan's executive order that creates a bipartisan commission to examine Maryland’s redistricting process with the goal of fully reforming this process and giving this authority to an independent, nonpartisan commission.[3]
Are you interested in running for a different political office in the future?
Yes, perhaps House of Representatives.[3]
