Baltimore fought for this. Maryland is accelerating nearly $25 million to jump-start a new bus division - the linchpin of the BMORE Bus plan and a major step toward expanding service for the workers, students, and families who depend on it every day. Grateful for Del. Edelson and every advocate and rider who packed hearings and rallied in Annapolis to make this happen.

The Democratic Central Committee does the essential work of democracy between elections — keeping District 46 organized, engaged, and represented. Team 46 is proud to endorse: Barrington Branch Turrell Brooks Nick Frisone Joe Koehler Kellie Gaither Kristen McCurdy Martina Owens Natasha Zepeda This slate reflects the full breadth of District 46 — different neighborhoods, different backgrounds, one shared commitment to this community. This district has an extraordinary bench of people who want to serve, and I'm committed to working with all Central Committee members. Vote Team 46 on June 23rd.

Brooke Lierman and I have been neighbors, friends, and colleagues doing this work side by side for nearly a decade. She was elected to serve the 46th District as a Delegate in 2014 — already one of the sharpest policy minds in the building — and spent eight years showing up for these neighborhoods and the people who live here. When she ran for Comptroller, I endorsed her without hesitation. Today she’s the first woman independently elected to statewide constitutional office in Maryland history. And she still lives right here in the 46th. Her endorsement means more to me than most because she knows this district, she knows this community, and she’s seen up close what we’ve built together for Baltimore over the years. Early voting starts June 11. Election Day is June 23.

Brandon Scott and I go back almost 20 years. We came up in public service together, long before either of us was in the jobs we’re in now. He’s Mayor. I’m Senate President. A lot has changed since then. I’m proud to have Brandon’s endorsement — and even prouder of what we’ve built together for this city. New schools. Lower crime. Investment coming home to our neighborhoods. A Baltimore that’s proving what’s possible when people refuse to give up on it. Early voting starts June 11. Election Day is June 23. Let’s keep building.

Fixed the quote. Since the Great Recession, #Maryland has slashed funding for local roads and bridges, costing #Baltimore more than❗️$1 billion❗️ in road repairs and infrastructure. #MDpolitics #MDGA26 @Mark_Edelson @SenatorMcCray @MDCounties
City officials say Baltimore is slowly digging out from a 15-year state funding shortfall that left roads, bridges and traffic signals deteriorating — and they warn another potential drop in transportation funding could stall or even reverse recent prog... bit.ly/4bkddxi

Had a great chat with ⁦@JohnDediePolSci⁩ about all things legislative as we move into the final 30 days of the 2026 General Assembly Session. Spoiler alert, it’s been a wild one both personally and professionally for me! statepolitics.substack.com/p…

The Mimi DiPietro Family Skating Center in Patterson Park will be getting a $500k grant from the state of Maryland, Senate President Bill Ferguson announced It's a godsend for the Baltimore Banners, a youth hockey team that draws kids from low-income neighborhoods 🏒 buff.ly/XKfLFIi

The Mimi DiPietro ice rink in Patterson Park is more than just a place to skate. It’s a space where thousands of Baltimore families make memories and our young people discover themselves through organizations like the @BMoreBanners. Its closure is an unacceptable outcome, which is why I was so proud to announce today that Team46 secured $500,000 in State funds to hopefully save the rink for another 5 to 10 years. I’m immensely grateful to Delegates @LukeClippinger, Lewis, and @ElectEdelson, along with Councilman @1stDistrictMark, Council President @Zeke_Cohen, and @MayorBMScott for their partnership working towards this solution as we identify a path towards the rinks’ long-term viability for generations of Baltimoreans to come.

Each year, I have the opportunity to work with @SenBillFerg, @LukeClippinger, & @RobbynLewis46th to bring money back to our district through legislative bond initiatives.  I have filed my LBIs and am looking forward to fighting for projects all across the beautiful 46th district.

Passing the Transportation and Climate Alignment (TCA) is critical to give Marylanders more transportation choices, help reduce transportation costs, and cut air pollution. Yesterday, the TCA was discussed on the House floor. Here is a clip of House bill sponsor, Delegate Edelson Mark (@ElectEdelson) sharing with Maryland Delegates why passing the bill this legislative session is so important. #TCA2026 #moretransitchoices
