State Delegate in the Maryland General Assembly. Professor at GWU. Love: repro rights, "front row energy," and Bluey. Hate: Inequities and ketchup.
Appreciate Rep. April McClain Delaney

Met with Secretary of Aging Carmel Roque to discuss ways to combat isolation in our senior population. Ensuring our seniors stay connected and engaged is a top priority!

🚨 Just introduced Maryland’s first-in-the-nation Public Health Ab*rtion Grant Program with 82 colleagues—ensuring affordable ab*rtion care without taxpayer funds.
After 76% of voters backed reproductive rights, we’re securing access amid rising restrictions. Let’s make history!

Proud to file a bill to strengthen gun safety education! This will give the Center for Firearm Violence Prevention the authority to create programs on safe gun storage, orders of protection, and the suicide/crisis lifeline. Thanks to @BradyUnited for their partnership! #GunSafety

Though Im not Jewish, I have a family connection to the Holocaust. My great uncle served as an interrogator during the Nuremberg trials, and his commitment to righteousness has inspired me. My prayers are with those affected by past atrocities and those who fear history repeating itself.

Today I met with @md_dentalhygiene to discuss my bill to study MD's dental hygienist shortage.

Dental hygiene is a field dominated by women, making this not just a workforce issue but also a gender equity issue. Huge thanks for your care & advocacy!
