Residents at Hanover Square Apartments have dealt with bedbugs, a broken HVAC and a dysfunctional elevator since the summer. That’s why we passed the Strengthening Renters' Safety Act. The new law will protect vulnerable residents and hold negligent landlords accountable.

Had a great meeting with our new House Speaker Joselyn Peña-Melnyk about the staggering cost of BGE bills on Baltimoreans.
I presented ideas on how the legislature can rein in costs for consumers and hold this monopoly accountable.
Excited to work together as fellow Presiding Officers 😊

Hanukkah is the celebration of light. Yet we are living through a moment of profound darkness. 11 Jews were just murdered in Australia. I spent part of last week having Nazi insignia removed from a billboard in Baltimore. 1/3

Last night, Mayor Scott swore in the Trauma Informed Care Taskforce. I’m honored to serve alongside these amazing Baltimoreans to help our city heal. From supporting training in our agencies and hospitals, to helping develop a best in class crisis response system, we are ready to work!

BGE's parent company Exelon is reporting historic stock returns, yet plans to lay off 72 Baltimore-area full time staff this spring. Make it make sense.

Every time BGE tears up Baltimore’s streets to replace pipes, they make more money. Don’t take my word for it, take their most recent public earnings statement – BGE’s 3rd quarter profits increased by 82% since last year… 1/4

One thing about Baltimore is that we claim the legendary #LadyDay. Thank you Yewande Kotun Davis for this moving portrait of Billie Holiday. Be sure to visit the next time you find yourself in Upper Fells Point.

Stopped by De’Jonnae’s EQ Fit today in Harwood and I was so impressed!
De’Jonnae started her aerial yoga studio after she was the victim of a crime. Learning aerial sports helped her reconnect with her body. Now she creates space for community to do the same. I love our city ❤️

The time for universal pre-Kindergarten in Baltimore is NOW. As a father and former teacher, I know the profound impact early childhood education can have.
I was proud to join my colleagues and the Early Childhood Advisory Council in demanding better for our littlest citizens.

At a time when people distrust institutions (and Democrats), I was proud to speak with the amazing Baltimore City Democratic State Central Committee.
From registering voters, to leading our grassroots organizing efforts, they are rebuilding faith in local democracy.

Ever wonder what happens when you flush your toilet?
Today, Comptroller Henry and I toured the Back River Waste Water Treatment Plant, which serves over a million households in the Baltimore area. Impressive fact: the water released from this plant is cleaner than the Chesapeake Bay!

Chef Alisha’s journey, from a humble ghost kitchen, to the harbor, to a breathtaking new restaurant in Fells Point, embodies the spirit of Baltimore grit. Our city’s food scene is having a moment and Oleum is a big part. Councilman Parker and I were thrilled to cut the ribbon.

That’s why we’re out at the Waverly Farmers Market handing out postcards to demand relief from BGE and The Public Service Commission.

In Baltimore, we are ALL IN for loving and supporting our trans community.
I am proud to stand with MD Safe Haven to say that trans people will not be erased. The Senator Mary Washington Building will provide housing, support and wrap-around services to residents.

Congrats to Graceland Park’s 8th grade class and all of Baltimore’s graduating middle schoolers!
Know this: Your voices matter. Your stories matter. In a moment of national division, Baltimore is united behind our young people.
Love is the greatest quality in leadership.

Grateful to our Budget Chair Danielle McCray who led us with grit and grace. We spent the last week fighting for residents and city workers during intense budget hearings. I could not be more proud of my colleagues and I look forward to passing a budget that reflects our values.

We're back underway, putting the fun in funding our budget.
I couldn't be more excited to see our City Council come together to fight for you. We're standing up for City workers, reigning in overtime spending, and reducing fines and fees on Baltimoreans.
