This isn’t just politics as usual. We’re in a crisis & need leaders at every level who confront it with urgency. I’m running for the MD House to fight back against Trump’s administration and build an alternative: real workers’ rights, the best schools, & an end to gun violence.

Trump’s allies are counting on Marylanders assuming their vote doesn’t matter. That’s false. Your ballot has big choices that will decide how our state can fight back against this administration. Vote Yes on Question 3, Omar Lazo for MoCo School Board, & Democrats down the ballot.

Thanks to many years of community advocacy, we have a brand new Burtonsville Elementary School, and it is a model for how public buildings can protect the planet these kids will inherit.

Grateful for Governor Moore’s leadership on this urgent challenge for our state. I’m looking forward to working this legislative session on AI safety measures to protect all Marylanders: independent safety evaluations of these companies, worker protections, and biosecurity safeguards.

I join our Senator Chris Van Hollen in calling for urgent federal AI regulation. This technology is already enabling large-scale hacks, displacing workers, and creating viruses. But if Congress can’t act, our state needs to step up, just like IL, CA, & NY, and pass reasonable guardrails on AI.

Huge thank you to the first responders, local businesses, civic groups, and county government partners who put on an amazing National Night Out in East County and Olney!

Congratulations to our next County Executive Will Jawando, a lifelong fighter for working families whose people-powered campaign overcame a million dollars of outside corporate spending to win. I’m looking forward to working together to deliver for District 14 and our county.

Congratulations to Will Jawando, the Democratic nominee for Montgomery County Executive! Thank you to all who took part in the process: voters, volunteers, election officials, and candidates alike.

Because of you, we won this race. I’m proud to be the Democratic nominee to represent the community that made me who I am. I’ll work with everything I have to live up to your trust. To all who knocked doors, spread the word, or pitched in: I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you.

It is Election Day. You only have until 8 PM TODAY to cast your ballot. To win the fairest economy, the best schools, the strongest pushback to this authoritarian administration, and the state we deserve, you must vote for it. Let’s win this thing.

Thank you to Speaker of the House Joseline Peña-Melnyk for stopping by Early Vote in Burtonsville to support the District 14 team! Folks, TODAY, Thursday June 18, is the LAST day for early voting!

The two Early Vote locations in D14 are the Praisner Rec Center & the Sandy Spring Fire Station on Brooke Rd, but you can vote early 7 AM - 8 PM at any of MoCo’s 14 EV sites. You can also still vote by mail-in ballot or in-person at your assigned polling place on Election Day, June 23rd!

🚨 It’s voting time!🚨 You can vote EARLY until Thursday June 18th, 7 AM - 8 PM. You can vote early at any of the 14 early voting sites in Montgomery County. The two in District 14 are the Marilyn Praisner Rec Center and the Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Station #4 on Brooke Rd.

You can still vote by mail-in ballot (either mailed back or dropped off at a drop-box) OR in-person on Election Day, Tuesday June 23rd. I hope the D14 team— Del. Kaiser, Del. Mireku-North, Sen. Zucker and I— can earn your vote!

Speaker Joseline Peña-Melnyk is an extraordinary leader. Her story embodies the promise of this state and country. Her leadership embodies the very best of public service. I’m honored to have her endorsement & ready to work together alongside the District 14 team to deliver for our community.

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of our Governor Wes Moore: a champion for a more affordable, just, and prosperous Maryland. I am so grateful for the Governor’s trust and ready to fight together alongside the D14 team for a Maryland that leaves no one behind.

My heart goes out to the Blake community. We must hold the gun industry accountable for enabling & profiting from these shootings. As Delegate, I’ll fight to tax gun companies per shooting they enable to fund intervention programs that prevent this violence. bethesdamagazine.com/2026/04/29/s...

bethesdamagazine.comJuvenile shot, 19-year-old detained for firearm possession at Blake High School, police sayA student was detained at James Hubert Blake High School in Silver Spring after reportedly bringing a firearm to campus.

I shared this video just two months ago after the shooting at Wootton HS, just 30 minutes away. My call is unchanged: Our state must hold the gun industry accountable for the trauma, fear, & enormous cost of violence these corporations enable and then invest in intervention.

Today, Congressman Jamie Raskin— progressive champion, fierce fighter for our democracy, & personal hero of mine— endorsed this campaign and the District 14 team. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to see Rep. Raskin’s courage up close. 🧵

When we took to the streets to demand an end to gun violence, Rep. Raskin stood with us. After a group of us took part in civil disobedience to protest Trump’s cruel immigration policies, Rep. Raskin opened his office. He listened, offered guidance, (& helped get our friends out of jail).

That’s the kind of leader Representative Raskin is, and it is the model of principled progressive leadership I will work hard to live up to in the House of Delegates, alongside the great Senator Zucker, Delegate Kaiser, & Delegate Mireku-North.

Endorsement Alert! 📣🪧 I'm honored to have the support of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 in this race. @atulocal689.bsky.social’s 15,000 hardworking members keep our community moving. I’m proud to stand with them in the fight for fully funded transit & dignity for all workers.

Brooke Lierman@brookelierman.bsky.social

Kicked off our Comptroller Community Corps events this weekend in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties. Thank you to Community Forklift and Montgomery Parks for having us, and to every volunteer who showed up! Next stop: Baltimore with Baltimore Tree Trust on 4/25

For our first event, I wanted to return to where I first learned the power of public institutions: my elementary school. Our schools, fields & small businesses in D14 made me who I am. I’m grateful to everyone who came to set ourselves on the urgent work ahead for our community

It is time to hold the gun industry accountable. As Delegate, I’ll introduce legislation to tax gun companies for each shooting their products enable in Maryland— and put that money directly into survivor services and prevention programs.

I want to express my gratitude to the policymakers who’ve been leading the fight for accountability for years, including D14’s own Delegate Bernice Mireku-North and her work to advance an ammo excise tax to fund violence intervention. I’m grateful for that leadership and ready to join the fight.

The industry will challenge any piece of accountability legislation on the grounds of PLCCA, a federal law that shields the gun industry from civil liability. But this proposal isn’t to impose civil damages on companies. It’s a tax intended to recoup public costs, which PLCAA does not prohibit.

Rest in peace Renée Good. Rest in peace Alex Pretti. Do not let the Trump administration convince you we can’t stop this terror. States and localities must use every tool, every lever, every ounce of power to protect our communities. We can prevent the next ICE killing.

For decades, Ms. Scott has made sure every kid in our county has the dignity & joy of a gift to open during the holidays. 60 years ago, in a time of need, she waited in the Toys for Tots line before dawn to receive Christmas gifts for her kids. She has been paying it forward ever since.

For the last 15 years, Ms. Scott has had to scramble each fall to find someone willing to lend space from October through December. Our county should come together to find a permanent space for Toys and Tots to allow donations and storage year-round.

Right now, Toys for Tots are still short on toys for children 12 and older and adults with special needs. If you can, please bring any donations to 8569 Atlas Drive in Gaithersburg through tomorrow (12/22)!

I want to spotlight the incredible work of Charisse-Callender Scott and Coach Bo of the Communibuild Foundation who helped secure the warehouse space for Toys for Tots this year.

Honored to be endorsed by the Montgomery County Education Association. Fighting for our schools is the work I do every day as a labor lawyer and it’ll be the fight I take on as Delegate: free school meals, a minimum wage for all school staff, and reducing paperwork so teachers can teach.

David and I worked side-by-side at March For Our Lives, fighting in statehouses, Congress, and the courts to end gun violence in this country. Honored to have his & Leaders We Deserve’s endorsement. I’m ready to continue standing together in this fight for a politics of urgency.

The leaders we need right now, taking the Democratic Party in a direction we can be proud of. Leaders We Deserve is thrilled to get involved in these races, building a progressive bench in states like TX and OH, and pushing Democrats to fight harder and deliver more in states like MD and IL.

States have to use every tool available to stop ICE’s campaign of terror. To start: our state has the constitutional power to ban ICE agents from wearing masks here. As Delegate, I’ll sponsor that legislation. We will not accept secret police in Maryland.

I’ll also support legislation to end 287(g) agreements that let local law enforcement act as ICE agents and legislation to bar school police from engaging with immigration enforcement in schools.

Thanks to your support, we are building a new kind of campaign. Going everywhere, talking to everyone, and reeenaging those who have lost faith in our democracy to deliver for them.

This isn’t just politics as usual. We’re in a crisis & need leaders at every level who confront it with urgency. I’m running for the MD House to fight back against Trump’s administration and build an alternative: real workers’ rights, the best schools, & an end to gun violence.

Delegate Pam Queen has served our district with incredible distinction. I will strive every day to live up to her legacy as a smart, compassionate and fearless policymaker. I’m ready to work my tail off alongside our exceptional District 14 team to deliver for our community.

You are up to date.
