Here are a few highlights from a busy week in Annapolis! 🏛️👇
This week, I had the honor of opening prayer in the House of Delegates. As a mom of two lovable, rambunctious boys, I shared the joys and challenges of parenting while serving. Love, not perfection, matters most—and as Coco's mom on Bluey says, "You're doing great."❤️ #Parenting
🚨 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!

Yesterday, we lost a warrior, Cecile Richards. She was a fierce advocate, a voice for women, and a loyal member of the community. Her work will continue to inspire our fight for personal rights and bodily autonomy. My heart goes out to her loved ones. @ppfa.bsky.social
