Yesterday, I joined the Baltimore Chapter of Jack and Jill of America for their teen-led Legislative Summit at Morgan State University. It was all of the things I love: Young people finding what makes their hearts beat a little bit faster and using their voices to help serve others.

It’s time to start putting the energy outside to work to lower Marylanders’ energy bills.

Since we rolled out chip-and-tap EBT cards in July, benefit theft is ⬇️ DOWN 71% ⬇️ — meaning fewer Marylanders are having their food and cash assistance stolen. If you have yet to activate your new EBT chip-enabled card, do so immediately to avoid disruption to your benefits.

We’ve CUT our state’s teacher vacancy rate by over over 70% in just four years– and we won’t stop until EVERY vacancy is filled. I want Maryland to have world-class schools, and that starts with supported and uplifted teachers in every classroom. https://bit.ly/4iwwhwZ

Here’s how we're giving Maryland families more breathing room as they move across our state.

When you need help, every second counts. That’s why we’re using our budget to help the ones that keep Marylanders safe.

Happy 251st birthday to the U.S. Navy and thank you to all of the sailors, civilian employees, and military families who serve our state and nation!

Commander Wiseman’s a true Marylander and the epitome of what it means to be a public servant. Really glad he was able to join me at Cantler’s for some crabs and to talk about his mission on Artemis II, what it takes to serve your country, and what service has meant in his life.
