“Voters have become disillusioned with the party, says Mr. Jarin, because veteran Democrats like Mr. Hoyer haven’t solved problems that matter to them, such as a lack of affordable housing.” 📢📢LOUDER #MDPol #MD05

Frederick Douglass's legacy isn’t a monument. It’s a mission.
In Maryland, power still concedes nothing without a demand.

Speak. Show up. Refuse silence.
Support a free press. Defend open government.
We got this.

Too many orgs say they serve the community while quietly centralizing power, ducking accountability, and stalling progress.

This essay is about that and what it looks like to bloom instead.

Disinformation isn’t just global. It’s local.
Maryland isn’t waiting. It’s leading.

This piece builds on my Baltimore Sun op-ed and lays out a local plan to respond with trust, transparency, and civic power.

These horrific attacks prove the Pro-Gaza movement is about nothing but hatred & violence against American Jews. There is no difference between these Hamas cosplayers and Hamas agents.

We were at capacity for the People’s Town Hall today. 800 constituents from MD-01 excited to hear from @raskin.house.gov! Thank you to MD-08 for sharing your amazing congressman with us since ours is MIA! #MDPol

Oh the juxtaposition of @raskin.house.gov speaking to the people of MD-01 alongside the milk carton of an MIA Andy Harris. Rep. Raskin gave up an entire Saturday to travel outside his district to give the people an in-person town hall. The last time Andy Harris did that was in 2017. #MDPol
