I’m honored and humbled to be promoted to chief of staff for @CouncilmanIzzy! For the last two years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the most dedicated and talented people in Baltimore County and beyond. I look forward to continuing to serve our amazing residents.

This morning, I participated in two community cleanups with the Franklintown Community Association and members of Morning Star Baptist Church in Windsor Mill. We know that every piece of trash we pick up helps protect our waterways and neighborhoods.

The flooded walkway area in Sudbrook Park has been repaired. Thanks to @BaltCoRec and the community for working with my office to get this fixed. Now, folks can enjoy leisurely walks and other activities without having to worry about wet, swampy and marshy conditions.

On Monday, the Baltimore County Council passed legislation I sponsored that provides for automatic review by the Council of a proposed recommended historic landmark. In short, this bill will help prevent the demolition of Baltimore County history.

.@jccbaltimore’s Harvest Fest in Owings Mills and Pearlstone Retreat Center’s Fall Fest Amphitheater Launch in Reisterstown! Tonight marked a celebration of the season of harvest and reminded us of the importance of faith, gratitude and togetherness. This defined Sukkot.

The 6.7 megawatt, 15,000-panel solar array is set to begin operating Nov. 30. It’s expected to generate 8.2 million kilowatt hours per year — enough to power 1,500 homes — and account for 11% of the county government’s annual electricity consumption.

Transforming landfills into solar farms utilizes vacant land, generates clean energy, provides cost savings and can prevent pollutant release. This strategy avoids competition with productive farmland, reduces urban sprawl and allows agriculture to continue on its existing land.

Today, we cut the ribbon on @BaltCoGov’s first large-scale ground-mounted solar facility at the long-closed Parkton landfill.

Now, Ashley continues the same level of outstanding service as operating officer of Catholic Charities of Maryland.

When I worked as executive director of the Governor's Office of Community Initiatives and the director of the Governor's Intergovernmental Affairs Office, Ashley managed our outreach efforts.

Congratulations to my good friend Ashley Valis on being named one of The Baltimore Sun’s 25 Women to Watch 2025: Best in advocacy, business and health!

It forced me to see things clearly. I’m a proud Jew. I believe in our right to safety, to self-determination and to a homeland. And I pray for peace.

When people see my tattoo visibly displayed, they often tell me it’s brave. I don’t think it’s brave. It’s a permanent and lasting reminder of who I am. Before Oct. 7, I kept my Jewishness quiet for the most part. But that day profoundly changed me and many others.

On Sept. 1, 2023, I got my first tattoo — a Star of David — on my left arm. I didn’t know it then, but just 36 days later, on Oct. 7, the world would witness the largest massacre of Jews since World War II.

In the wake of the federal government shutdown, @BaltCoGov has put together resources to help folks with essentials like utilities, unemployment benefits, housing assistance and food. Link: https://t.co/vbyQFJNARF

Chag Sameach to all celebrating Sukkot! Wishing you a joyful and meaningful festival filled with peace, family and blessings.

Chestnut Ridge Volunteer Fire Company’s annual open house event this afternoon! These volunteers define the word community, going above and beyond every day to protect our neighbors from danger. We owe you all a debt of gratitude and are grateful for your continued service.

Thank you to Baltimore Israel Coalition, @theassociated and Har Sinai - Oheb Shalom Congregation for cosponsoring a meaningful day of remembrance, reflection and resilience this morning.

As we approach the second anniversary of October 7th, we remember the lives lost, families separated and hostages taken in a devastating act of terrorism. We pray for the hostages to soon be reunited with their families — and pray for a future of security and lasting peace.

Repping my new @ILBaseball apparel! Absolutely love the color scheme. Take pride in your identity and be proud of who you are. Don’t let anyone else define you. #jewishandproud

Stunning fall afternoon for a community concert in the Huntington neighborhood! The John Lamkin II & Favorites Jazz Quintet knocked it out of the park. Every community deserves more opportunities to get together, build connections and enjoy the arts.
