A vote for Larry Hogan is a vote for a Republican controlled Senate.
It’s that simple.
This is a fight for Maryland and America's future and that is a fight worth fighting. So I'm asking for your vote and your support not to serve one party but to fix the broken politics and to fight for all Marylanders.

I believe that we should have fair and equitable transportation policies.
If drivers receive free parking, it makes sense for bus riders to receive free fares.
This is something I will immediately begin working on in 2020.
