(MILFORD MILL, MD – June 15, 2026) – Before there was a Kenneth Oliver. Before there was an Adrienne Jones. Before there was a Julian Jones. Before there was a N. Scott Phillips. Before there was a Black Speaker of the House. Before there was a Black Chairman of the Baltimore County Council. Before there was a Chair of the Maryland Legislative Black Caucus. There was Dr. Ella White Campbell. If Baltimore County has a Harriet Tubman of modern Black political power, her name is Dr. Ella White Campbell. Long before many of today’s elected officials held office, Dr. Campbell…

(BALTIMORE – June 14, 2026) – The 41st District is about 63% Black. Keep that number in mind. Because this election is about more than who wins a Senate seat. It is about who gets to decide the future of a majority-Black district — and whether the people who live there get to make that decision for themselves. The Map Tells a Story The Baltimore Banner recently highlighted something many people would rather ignore. Several precincts within the 41st District gave Donald Trump majority support in 2024. Chestwold — 55% Trump. Cross Country — 57% Trump. The Glenn — 57% Trump.…

(OWINGS MILLS – June 12, 2026) – Juneteenth is a week away. Think about that. One hundred sixty-one years after Black people learned that freedom delayed is freedom denied, we find ourselves facing another test—not of chains and plantations, but of political power, unity, and self-determination. And once again, nobody is coming to save us. We are the cavalry. We always have been. Nobody gave us freedom. Black people fought for freedom. Nobody gave us voting rights. Black people fought for voting rights. Nobody integrated schools because America suddenly developed a conscience. Black people fought for that, too. Every inch…

(BALTIMORE – June 11, 2026) – The road to Maryland’s 2026 primary election has been an interesting one. For state candidates, much of the activity intensified following the conclusion of the General Assembly session. Other races, such as County Executive contests, have been building steadily for months. Now, with early voting underway and Election Day approaching, the time for campaigning is quickly giving way to the time for accountability. Before discussing endorsements, let us first commend every candidate who stepped forward and ran for office. And we do mean every candidate. Whether we agree with their positions or not, it…

(BALTIMORE – June 10, 2026) – Boy, this has been one heck of an election season in Baltimore. The level of political activity is something to marvel at as it all comes to a head in a few hours. The election is finally here, and I’m sure candidates have a whole lot on their minds as reality settles in. This year is a statewide election.

(BALTIMORE – REVISED – June 9, 2026) – As Baltimore voters prepare to head to the polls on June 23rd, another voice is stepping forward with serious allegations about the leadership of Baltimore City Sheriff Sam Cogen — and this one comes from the inside. Ryan Watson, a concerned citizen with direct knowledge of the sheriff’s office, says what he has witnessed goes far beyond politics. According to Watson, the agency under Cogen has been defined not by professionalism or stability, but by a culture of retaliation, intimidation, and dysfunction that has affected multiple employees across multiple years. “I have…

(BALTIMORE – June 8, 2026) – Three days after Christmas 2022, Sabrina Tapp-Harper received something no veteran law enforcement officer expects after 36 years of service: a termination letter. Imagine it. The holidays are ending. A new year is around the corner. You’re looking ahead with optimism, reflecting on a career spent protecting others. Then comes the news that changes everything. For Tapp-Harper, a decorated law enforcement executive with decades of experience and no known disciplinary record during her eight years with the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office, that moment was more than a job loss. She says it was the…
