Come on now @dcps the sidewalks in-front of the schools are not clear and main roads are down to 1 lane. Took us two hours to get to school. I can only imagine what the commute home will be.

This is what solidarity looks like!
Yesterday, Maryland @GovWesMoore joined longshoreman on the picket line. We're proud to stand with our union siblings who are putting themselves on the line for a better contract. Solidarity forever!

In November, our fundamental rights are at stake, including the right to make decisions about our own bodies.
I am the only candidate in this race who has never compromised on a woman's right to choose.

Labor has made it clear, I'm a pro-labor candidate w/ a track record of fighting for collective bargaining, paid sick leave, fair wages & safe workplaces. As a member of Appropriations, I'm at the table fighting for working Marylanders. #SmithForThe45th
