Ruth Bader Ginsberg embodied Justice. She will be remembered as one of the most influential and important public servants of our lifetimes. A true American trailblazer, her interpretation of the law has changed countless lives for the better.

Maryland is sitting on nearly 400,000 vaccine doses and cannot articulate a plan to rapidly expand our vaccination efforts. The Governor needs to tell the people today what resources he’s putting in place to get Maryland vaccinated. We can’t keep waiting.

Once again, the House has passed, by an overwhelming majority, my bill to enshrine reproductive rights in Maryland’s constitution. Regardless of what other states do, we will unequivocally be a state that supports the right to reproductive freedom. #ReproductiveRights

Maryland is back to school! I had a great time this morning at @RandallstownHS My #1 legislative priority is education. That's why the first bill of the 2020 session will invest an additional $2.2 B for school construction and renovation projects across the state.
