  • I never thought Roe v. Wade would be overturned but that is where we find ourselves. I will be a tireless advocate for women so they can make their own healthcare decisions about their own bodies.

  • Climate change is an existential threat for all of us. I am proud of the work that Maryland has done so far in this area, advancing climate change solutions in the landmark Climate Change Solutions Now Act. But it is only a first step.

  • The greatest day-to-day challenge for all of us is affordability. The costs of all our basic goods are rising at an unsustainable pace. Keeping prices down and necessities affordable for all is our first legislative priority. This session we passed legislation to lower electric and grocery prices.

    IMMIGRATION

    Protecting our friends and neighbors from unfair treatment, harassment, seizure, and deportation with no due process is inhumane and un-American. We need to stand up together to Trump and an out-of-control ICE and demand that all are treated with dignity and protected by our laws. We passed laws this year limiting cooperation with ICE.
