(NEW CARROLLTON, MD – September 11, 2024) – Angela Alsobrooks earned the endorsement of the Actors’ Equity Association in her race to become Maryland’s next U.S. Senator. “Unions are the backbone of Maryland and America,” said Alsobrooks. “I am honored to have the endorsement of the Actors’ Equity Union. When elected to the Senate, I will fight for all unions and workers – just like the Actors’ Equity Association and the actors and stage managers they represent.

Participants represent all 24 Maryland jurisdictions. “I’m a believer in the idea that the two most important days of our lives are the day we are born, and the day we find out why. 600 inspiring Marylanders raised their hand to serve and find their ‘why’ today, and we couldn’t be more proud,” said Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller. “As Governor Moore says, ‘Service will save us,’ and launching…

(WASHINGTON, DC – July 15, 2024) – Biden-Harris 2024 Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon released the following statement in response to Donald Trump naming J.D. Vance as his running mate: “Donald Trump picked J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance will do what Mike Pence wouldn’t on January 6: bend over backwards to enable Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda, even if it means breaking the law and no matter the harm to the American people. “As Trump’s running mate, Vance will make it his mission to enact Trump’s Project 2025 agenda at the expense of American families. This is someone who…

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Congressman Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) questioned Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael S. Regan regarding the ongoing coal dust contamination taking place in South Baltimore as a result of coal dust flying from railroad cars transporting millions of tons of coal through Curtis Bay. EPA Administrator Regan appeared before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, where Congressman Mfume serves as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce.

(WASHINGTON, D.C. – July 11, 2024) – Today, Congressman Kweisi Mfume (D-MD-07) announced that he and Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX-17) have introduced H.R. 8878, the Blind Americans Return to Work Act, which is bipartisan legislation that would allow blind Americans to achieve their full earnings potential. “There should not be any impairment or impediments that prevent blind and visually impaired individuals from achieving their professional dreams. This bipartisan legislation is crucial as it would correct a roadblock in current law that forces blind and visually impaired Americans to choose between their needed benefits and their own professional development. I want to thank my…

In Memory of our Fallen Brother (BALTIMORE – 2011) – In the wee hours of Saturday, May 29, 2010, Michael Vernon Dobson, Sr. traded his earthly battle with cancer for an eternal peace with God. I have chosen to remember and honor my good friend and brother with the following words that are born from discussions in which we would become engaged. Hard to believe it’s been a year already. I was almost a teenager before I realized who Mike was, and with fourteen years between his birth and mine, it would be hard to expect much more. Over the…

(ANNAPOLIS, MD – June 17, 2024)—Governor Wes Moore today signed a historic executive order pardoning 175,000 Maryland convictions related to the possession of cannabis, including convictions for misdemeanor possession of cannabis and certain convictions for misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. The order represents the largest pardon for misdemeanor cannabis possession charges for any state in the country and the inclusion of paraphernalia makes Maryland the first state to take such action. “Maryland made history when we legalized cannabis by referendum. But we cannot celebrate the benefits of legalization while forgetting the consequences of criminalization. No Marylander should face barriers to housing, employment,…
