What's happening in DC is beyond a travesty. This coup attempt is abhorrent criminal behavior. I've contacted Governor Hogan's office to request the deployment of troops and support to help secure the US Capitol and keep the people of DC safe.

Tonight, the Senate of Maryland passed Senate Bill 1. This legislation makes communities safer by limiting where firearms can be conceal-carried in response to the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision. We’re making the decision that in Maryland, more guns are not the answer.

In City's 2020 election, there were 10,000 more voters who had NEVER voted in a primary than the number of perfect (3 of 3) primary voters. 46,771 (0 of 3) to 36,597 (3 of 3). That is an unbelievable statistic. 17k of 46k never voted in primary OR general election.

No matter the offense, no matter the background, the question is always the same, "Did he deserve to die?" Answer: absolutely not. The rest is wholly irrelevant. Until that's widely understood by leaders in the system, injustice and inequity are inevitable.

Everything about these last 7 months has been unprecedented. But, truly, this is extraordinarily unprecedented. Remember what we've been saying over and over? Strength of public health and the economy... ARE 💥 THE💥 SAME 💥 THING!!!

I finally figured out a good use for those old campaign t-shirts in the basement. It only took 2 weeks of a Stay Home order and a global pandemic. #COVID19 #facemasks #Team46

Can anyone imagine reaction if after 3,000 Americans died on 9/11, the approach to terrorism was: "Meh, it's already here, we just have to deal with it." Now, after 100,000 preventable American COVID-19 deaths, national response has devolved into patchwork assumption of risk.

Waking up to the horrible news that 30 people were shot at a gathering overnight in the district. This is well beyond gut-wrenching, it’s a worst-case nightmare. Gun violence like this is so devastating, especially when it involves young people in our City.

#Boosted - Received my 3rd shot yesterday with the @MDHealthDept Process was simple and quick. Took a picture afterwards to convince my kids that their vaccine shot won't be bad at all! Feeling a little slower today, but feeling even better about being protected #GoVAX #booster

The City doesn't need a singular savior. It's not about "Your Leader." The City needs a clear, focused vision that reforms the systems of government around clearly identified outcomes set to an objective timeline. One person can't do this work alone.
