Attorney, Mom, Comptroller of Maryland. Authorized by Brooke Lierman for Maryland; Candace Dodson-Reed, Treasurer.
Flashback to one month ago when I was honored to join ReBUILD Metro, the Hammonds, Mayor Scott, Secretary Day, Senator McCray and many others who helped build the amazing new Hammonds building in Johnston Square - new residences and a new library all in one.

MORE GRIFT. The Warner Bros. merger was already suspect, but now Trump’s family is getting in on the act.

Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, is part of Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount already had deep ties to the White House, now Trump's family will directly profit if they win.

Speaker Adrienne Jones led the House with steadiness and grace through historic challenges. As the first woman and first African American Speaker, she opened doors for so many. I’m grateful for her leadership, her example, and her decades of service to Maryland.

Thrilled to see the major AstraZeneca investment announced last month!! Biotech continues to be an essential and growing industry in Maryland. I met with some of our biotech leaders at MilliporeSigma this fall to discuss how they see our economy performing to help inform our revenue estimates.

Next time a Republican whines when they get called a fascist, just remind them that Trump says he doesn't mind the label!
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

Maryland has so many exceptional colleges - and McDaniel is certainly one of them! It was a pleasure to join President Julia Jasken for a discussion and tour of this beautiful gem in Carroll County and to learn more about their economic impact on the state!
