No one should go hungry because they can’t afford food. That’s why I joined a coalition of attorneys general urging Congress to add language to the upcoming Farm Bill that reverses recent cuts to food assistance, such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, and rolls back burdensome eligibility restrictions. Federal cuts are hitting our communities hard. 680,000 Marylanders depend on SNAP, including nearly 270,000 children. Stricter work requirements and new rules are forcing families off the program. That’s wrong. I remain committed to protecting food security for every Marylander. Full press release: oag.maryland.gov/News/Pages/…

I was glad to join the Greater Colesville Citizens Association Annual Meeting to share highlights from the 2026 legislative session and participate in a community discussion alongside Senator Zucker, Delegate Mireku-North, and Delegate Queen. Thank you to everyone who attended!

For decades, the remains of hundreds of Black children have rested in unmarked graves at a state-supported institution that was supposed to protect and care for them. The creation of the Commission on the House of Reformation and Instruction for Colored Children is an important step toward uncovering the truth about what happened at the former Cheltenham institution, honoring these children with dignity, and ensuring their stories are never forgotten.
