Hello I'm Tristan Doak

I majored in Political Science

I Graduated from
ST. MARY'S COLLEGE OF MARYLAND

Welcome to my website! I’m Tristan Doak, a passionate political professional and proud graduate of St. Mary’s College of Maryland, where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. While politics is my primary focus, I also have a deep appreciation for business and history, recognizing the crucial role they play in shaping our society.

My Journey into Politics

My interest in politics started at just 12 years old, during the 2016 election. While most kids my age were focused on typical preteen hobbies, I found myself captivated by the complexities of political discourse and how government decisions shape our daily lives. This early fascination laid the foundation for my lifelong commitment to public service. 

My Mission & Future Goals

Throughout my life, I’ve been guided by the principles instilled in me by my family and upbringing:
💡 The importance of education—learning is a lifelong journey.
💼 The value of hard work—success comes from dedication and perseverance.
🌎 The power of making a positive impact—public service is about improving lives.

As I continue building my career in politics, I am committed to advocating for meaningful change, supporting policies that benefit our communities, and ensuring government remains accessible and accountable to the people.

I’m excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals, policymakers, and organizations dedicated to shaping a better future.

Let’s work together to make a difference!

Philip G. Baxley, Esq
Professor at CCBC

Please accept this letter of recommendation for your applicant, Tristan E. Doak. I have been a member of the Maryland Bar since 1996. After I retired from the practice of law, I took a position as an adjunct professor teaching Automotive Technology at the Community College of Baltimore County, Catonsville (CCBC). I have been instructing students at CCBC for approximately five years. I had to opportunity and pleasure to meet, observe and instruct Tristan when he took my fast-paced Introduction to Automotive Technology course. The course is five credits and spans eight weeks. During this time, students are given intensive classroom instruction, online homework assignments, and hands-on work in the school's automotive shop. It is rare that I can say this; I would place Tristan in the top five percent of all of the students I have taught. He earned an A for his course grade. During this time, I had to opportunity to observe not only Tristan's work habit, but also his character. He arrived before the start of every class. While only a young man, Tristan quickly became a classroom leader and I observed him helping other students with their lab assignments. I noticed that when I was busy helping a classmate, other students would seek Tristan out for assistance. Students seeking Tristan's advice were sometimes 10 to 15 years older than him. Based upon Tristan's academic skills and personal character, I highly recommend him for admission.
