This weekend on my way to workout I was pretextually stopped by a MD State Police Officer for stopping on the stop line at a light. 1st question,"Is this your vehicle?" 2nd question,"Do you have outstanding warrants?" These stops erode public trust in law enforcement & must stop!

There’s a Big Lie in America — and it’s not about the 2020 election. It’s the idea that for some to get ahead, others have to be left behind.

Great news for Marylanders hit hardest by the pandemic. You're totally out of touch if you think that extending enhanced unemployment benefits through September is what's keeping hard working people from wanting to get back to work.

You can't maximizing distribution points across every corner of the state when you don't put a mass vaccination site in the state's largest jurisdiction.This week nearly 80 Montgomery County residents traveled to Salisbury to get shots. Only 15 were nonwhite. This is not equity.
Our vaccination plan maximizes distribution points in every corner of the state to get shots into arms as equitably and efficiently as possible. Take an inside look at three new vaccination clinics on our Eastern Shore:
