No matter your race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or identity – you deserve an equal opportunity to fulfill your potential and succeed in our state.
As a delegate in the Maryland legislature, I led efforts to secure the rights of underserved groups who are often the unfortunate targets of discrimination. I carried the charge to protect one of our most sacred civil liberties – the right to vote – and successfully blocked voter suppression efforts across our state.
Select accomplishments:
Technology presents some of our greatest opportunities and greatest threats. It’s critical for Maryland to develop modern laws that anticipate and stay ahead of emerging trends – establishing a tech-savvy and pliable foundation to continually keep Maryland families safe.
In 2014, I wrote Grace’s Law – one of the toughest anti-cyber bullying laws in the nation and a model other states have followed – to keep our children safe from online predators and bullies. In addition, I sponsored and supported common-sense measures to protect Marylanders from gang and gun violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
Select accomplishments:
Maryland must provide a nurturing setting for large and small businesses alike while protecting against predatory corporations that exploit families—when the economy thrives, we all may benefit.
As a politician and lawyer, I have advocated for Maryland consumers and cracked down on predatory lenders and insurance companies seeking to take advantage of Marylanders, as well as co-sponsored legislation against intentionally deceptive advertising.
Select accomplishments:
We owe it to our children to leave Maryland’s environment in better shape than we found it. When it comes to the environment, I lead by example living in a carbon-neutral house, recycling more than I discard, and driving a hybrid vehicle.
In the legislature, and in my community, I have been a leading voice for protecting Maryland’s unique environment for future generations.
