Inclusivity isn’t a talking point for us. It’s a governing philosophy.
Maryland is leading on this – not because it sounds nice or makes us feel good – but because, for us to thrive as a state, we need to see and celebrate everyone in our state.

Today I testified on The ENOUGH Act, the next step in our mission to end child poverty in Maryland.
We cannot win this decade if one in eight Maryland children are currently living at or below a poverty line. Poverty is a choice, and good policies can help us break these cycles.
