I had a great time talking with members of the Student Government Association at Dumbarton Middle School today.
We covered some of the big issues of this year’s legislative session, and I also spoke to them about the importance of public service and being active in your community.

Honored to attend Governor Moore’s bill signing ceremony yesterday. Three of my bills were signed into law — two that help children owed child support and one to help strengthen and build our cybersecurity workforce.
Seven more of my bills will also become law this year!

I had a great time at last night’s meeting of the Greenbrier Community Association. Always good to see so many friends and meet new ones.
Neighborhoods thrive when neighbors like these get involved and stay involved. Many thanks to President Kyra Vocci and the board for all they do.

Shout-out to the awesome students of The Cardinal Shehan School, who visited our office this week with their principal, Dr. Jeanne Delamore.
I was on House floor when they arrived, but my Chief of Staff, Susan Parts, was excited to welcome them and hear all about their school.

It was my pleasure to introduce students from Towson University on the floor of the House of Delegates today.
Their visit was part of Tiger Pride Day, and they have a lot to be proud of — including their designation by the Wall Street Journal as the state’s No. 1 public university.

It was great to meet with the Baltimore County Student Council’s Executive Board.
Each student chose a different piece of legislation we’re considering this year, and advocated for it.
These impressive students hailed from Towson, Perry Hall and Hereford high schools, and Eastern Technical High.

My first bill of 2025 just passed the House with unanimous, bipartisan support!
HB 323 ensures domestic partnerships are properly recorded with the register of wills. This will help them recover missing child support, and protect against the loss of federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

Today I introduced the students of the Law and Public Policy magnet program at Towson High to @govwesmoore.bsky.social
LPP is a gem of a program that draws students -- and future leaders -- from around Baltimore County. Today, they got a glimpse of what that future could be.
