These men chose Maryland as their home and took on jobs many of us wouldn’t dream of doing. These men from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Mexico represent what makes our country great: people willing to sacrifice, & build communities.

Latinos are 23% of the Prince George's County population yet for four years and until recently, there have been no Latinos in the Prince George's County Executive's 39-member cabinet. Latinos need to be at the table where decisions are being made.
Happy Hispanic Heritage month! As we celebrate the Latino community all across Maryland, I am proud of the work we've done here in Prince George's County to ensure our government is reflective of the people it serves, particularly our Latino and immigrant communities.

Our state added nearly as many coronavirus cases in July as it did in April, when the pandemic began to ramp up. Where is the logic? Where is the science? Where are the facts? Can we please put people before politics?
Gov. Larry Hogan could order mail-in ballots be sent to every voter. Instead, with 14,000 election judge vacancies, he offers state employees *two* leave days if they agree to risk their lives (and lives of their families) and work at the polls.
