(BALTIMORE – April 18, 2026) – Something is wrong. Maybe it’s just me. But as sine die — the close of Maryland’s legislative session — has come and gone, there has not been a sustained, unified response from the 188 members of the General Assembly on behalf of the Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys. Do I have that right? In a state where the numbers tell a troubling story — where Baltimore City is home to just 9% of Maryland’s population but accounts for roughly 40% of the people in state prisons, according to the Justice Policy Institute (January 2024)…

A 28-year Marine and decade-long county councilman, Pete Smith has seen Anne Arundel County from the inside — and believes it can do better by its people. (PASADENA, MD – April 12, 2026) – When Pete Smith walked Anne Arundel County last week alongside Sheriff Everett Sesker — two fit, mission-driven brothers moving step by step across the jurisdiction — it wasn’t a photo op.

Regular readers know I’ve been watching the Julian Jones run in Baltimore County closely. But make no mistake…

On a crisp morning in Towson, Jones announced that he has earned the backing of both Scott D. Shellenberger and Ivan J. Bates—the top prosecutors in Baltimore County and Baltimore City, respectively. In a region where politics and public safety are deeply intertwined, the significance cannot be overstated. A Rare Regional Alignment Endorsements…

(MIAMI, FL – April 6, 2026) – “The United States is experiencing the early stages of serious trouble ahead” is a statement now echoed by most American citizens and countless visitors from other countries. A belief that applies to more than one topic. The continual rise in mass unemployment due to corporate mismanagement, malfeasance, greed, and the shift towards AI technology has further kickstarted increasing income disparities. Unwarranted fear of other ethnic groups has reignited misunderstandings, ignorance, and hatred among one group towards another, which has exploded in the form of unrestrained public displays of racism. A flame that has…

(RANDALLSTOWN – March 27, 2026) – I have to be honest. I’m not just saddened — I’m alarmed.What I’m hearing from some leaders in Northwest Baltimore County right now sounds less like strategy and more like disunity at the worst possible moment. On June 23rd, Baltimore County voters face a historic crossroads. For the first time ever, a non-white male candidate has a real shot at leading the county. Given everything people of color have built and contributed here, this moment is long overdue. Moments like this don’t come often — and when we mishandle them, we pay for it…

(BALTIMORE COUNTY – March 16, 2026) — Admittedly, I am hard on my Baltimore County brethren. Why? Because time after time, I receive phone calls asking for help — political advice, strategic insight, introductions, or media coverage. And yes, I help when I can. But I have also tried to push something equally important: self-empowerment. Yet somehow, incredibly, we keep returning to the same place. Let me also be clear about something. I’m a Baltimore City guy. Always have been. City all day. But much of my family lives in Baltimore County, and I’ve spent plenty of time out there…
