Her impact on both our judicial system and our country today cannot be overstated – which is why I’ve co-sponsored legislation to honor Motley with a Congressional Gold Medal.
Motley was also an integral part of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, where she wrote the legal brief for one of the most pivotal cases in U.S. history: Brown v. Board of Education.
This Black History Month, we recognize Constance Baker Motley. She was a trailblazer: the first Black woman to argue a case before the Supreme Court, the first to serve as a federal judge, the first to serve in the New York State Senate, and the first to serve as Manhattan Borough President.
This decision is not just good news for American families dealing with rising costs, but it also places a critical check on the President and reasserts Congress’s role as a coequal branch of government.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has affirmed that President Trump's sweeping, reckless tariffs are illegal.
It was a terrific panel on celebrating and confronting this history, kicked off by Mayor Jared Littmann, moderated by William Rowel, and featured Alderman Keanuú Smith-Brown, Carl Snowden, Coren Eve Makell, and the Rev. Samuel Jerry Colbert.
Black history is American history – and it’s Annapolis history. I was so grateful to stop by The City Of Annapolis’s Rooted in Revolution Series to recognize the contributions, leadership, resistance, and cultural legacy of Black Annapolitans.
Together, we’re committed to not only responding to immediate instances of aggression, but breaking the cycle of violence once and for all.
I was proud to join @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov to present Molly Knipe and the incredible YWCA team with $697,000 in federal funding to support their critical re-housing, abuse intervention, and education programs.
Today, they’re still the County’s only domestic violence safe house & they support more than 10,000 of our neighbors.
For over 100 years, the YWCA of Annapolis and Anne Arundel has been a leader in the fight for dignity and equity for survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault in Anne Arundel County.
Just like before, we will not let a locked door stop us from getting answers for our neighbors. I will keep you updated as we learn more.
I’ve joined my Maryland delegation colleagues in demanding answers from DHS to our straightforward questions regarding the disturbing conditions reported at the ICE Baltimore Field Office.
Team Maryland has repeatedly called for answers from ICE on behalf of our constituents. Last year, we attempted to exercise our Constitutional duty to oversight twice – after being unlawfully turned away the first time – and now, ICE is continuing to stall.
I’m excited to announce that we are back with another in-person Town Hall – this time in Anne Arundel with County Executive Steuart Pittman! See below for details and RSVP info:
🗓️Tuesday, March 10th
⏱️6:30 PM (Doors open at 6:00)
📍Anne Arundel County (Exact location available upon RSVP)
➡️ RSVP:
Thanks for the productive meeting, Mr. County Exec!
That’s why I sat down with Howard County Executive Calvin Ball and his team to discuss how we can continue delivering for our neighbors - covering everything from earmark and economic development opportunities to supporting the County’s agricultural industry and library passport services.
Howard County has always led the way. This year, they’ve already stepped up to the plate to protect our neighbors and prevent an ICE detention facility here in Elkridge. But, there’s always work ahead.
