🙏 Shelly Hettleman Mary A. Lehman She/Her Senator Will Smith (District 20) Luke Clippinger Bill Ferguson Speaker Adrienne A. Jones for championing & passing SB 100/HB 36! Unlicensed landlords should never be able to use MD's court system for evictions No license? No eviction! Counting on Wes Moore to sign!

Long but satisfying day in Annapolis where my amazing staff & I got my end-of-session letter out highlighting a host of bills the #MDGA passed. Stayed in my office to take part w/Joseline Peña-Melnyk & Jim Rosapepe in an engaging town hall zoom mtg hosted by Council Member Tom Dernoga.

Some things in nature like slugs & lightning bugs have virtually disappeared in MD my lifetime. So I was thrilled to see this field of buttercups on my morning walk. As kids we held them under our chins to see the gold reflection! #naturalbeauty

Government provides beautiful parks & open space for us to enjoy. Don’t spoil it w/trash. Discard litter in receptacles or take it home. These water bottles are all over City of Laurel MD McCullough Field. Use the bins the city provides. No excuses! #pollution #plasticpollution

Just as President Biden and Democrats are rebuilding our economy from COVID, Republicans risk tanking our credit rating and sabotaging our economy by threatening default — it's shameful. We will not let them harm veterans and vulnerable Americans with cuts to vital programs! -NP

I’m with the Writers Guild. #WorkersRights #Solidarity

Visiting the Bronx Zoo on this gorgeous May day and I’m happy to share that they are protecting birds & wildlife worldwide by NOT selling bottled water. #conservation

Thank you @gunsensemelissa and MD Moms Demand Action! I was proud to vote for all three and am exceptionally pleased to be part of a legislature that prioritizes our constituents’ lives over the gun lobby.

The 2023 Choose Clean Water Conference has been information packed & eye opening! From #Baltimore tree care to environmental #civics in a PA high school to removing #coal ash from MD/VA waterways, to #stream visits, what a great 2 days! Thanks Speaker Adrienne A. Jones for the opportunity!

Congratulations to the CMIT Academy Class of 2023! This public charter school in Laurel has a 100% graduation rate this year. Go Purple & Gold! Do great things!

Happy Heavenly Birthday to my amazing Mother! Just as she did on earth, I’m sure she’s making good trouble. 😇

My mom, RIP, grew up in NYC; her immigrant parents were a cook & maid. I’m not sure she ever saw a Broadway show, but she loved telling of the time she passed Angela Lansbury on the street. Last night, her granddaughter attended the Tony’s & somewhere a proud Grandma is smiling.

Gorgeous evening for an Baltimore Orioles game at Camden Yards, Birds vs. the Blue Jays. The pristine natural grass field is a thing of beauty. Credit head groundskeeper Nicole Sherry & her crew. Go O’s! #OriolesMagic #Charmcity

Nice to see some bipartisanship for a change. Rest in Power John Lewis.

Starting on July 1, 2023, adults can legally use cannabis for recreational purposes. Anyone purchasing cannabis products from a dispensary must show their government-issued ID to demonstrate they are 21 or older. A medical card is still required to purchase medical-use cannabis.

Good morning from Three Mile Pond, Vassalboro, Maine. #summer2023

What an adventure riding out on the Potomac this evening from National Harbor to learn about water quality monitoring & vital environmental protection being done by Riverkeeper Dean Naujoks & his crew. Great thanks to Betsy Nicholas for the invitation. #CleanWater #Stewardship

This amendment was basically a “do you support Ukraine” vote and it passed with strong bipartisan support. After a lot of sound & fury, this vote clarifies where the House actually stands.

Young voters are our best hope to preserve democracy in 2024. Please support and encourage them.
