In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Our nation is yearning for a new generation of leadership that can tackle the challenges of today – from being able to afford basics like rent and groceries to addressing the climate crisis. In Congress I'm going to fight for an economy Marylanders deserve and defend the rights and values so many before us gave their lives to defend.”
“Growing up my parents taught us that if we worked hard and played by the rules, we'd get ahead. Today Marylanders are working harder than ever to just survive. My entire career I've fought for working families; to raise wages, create jobs, expand small businesses like the one that sustained my family growing up, and defend the basic civil rights of Marylanders from every background. Our state deserves a fighter in Congress who will deliver for their families.”
