Honored to be here to memorialize the lynching of 15 yr old Howard Cooper today outside the Old Towson Jail. In order to repair and heal it is necessary to look history in the face.
@SpeakerAJones, @guyton42b and I at the unveiling today of a marker to honor Howard Cooper — a 15-year-old who was dragged out of his cell and lynched here at the old #Towson Jail 136 years ago.
Thanks to the @MDLynchingProj and @eji_org for making this day happen.

Every conversation I have with CE @JohnnyOJr I bring up the need for fields in 42B. Today, he announced $6.4M in funding for field projects on Belfast Rd. I'd like to thank him for listening to me and to my constituents in 42B and funding these fields in this year's budget.
On the final day of session I am happy to announce HB 714 has passed!
When this pandemic started it took months before some schools could communicate their plans for special education. This bill will ensure emergency preparedness in case of any future prolonged school closure.
