is one of my MD Senators!

I absolutely LOVE him! He has been fighting on the frontlines, especially with the federal court cases in MD, and sending informative newsletters to his constituents, many of whom have been directly and adversely affected by the politices of BLOATUS. He has also been very visible in fighting for immigrants' rights, especially in the case of Abrego-Garcia.

I have shared his newsletters on my social media. He's a great guy and I am fortunate to have him as a Senator!
