Maryland now officially owns the Preakness.
With this move, we’ve ensured that Maryland will remain a key power player in the Triple Crown for generations to come, meaning a stronger racing industry and continued investment in the Park Heights community.

Maryland is the best place in the world to change the world – and I’m asking every student – including those disenrolled from Howard University – to look to the University System of Maryland as your path forward.

People aren’t interested in parlor games. They just want results for their families – and that’s just what we’re delivering for Marylanders, no matter how they’ve voted.
Today I announced that Maryland is stepping up for Maryland residents recently disenrolled by Howard University.
We will be expediting admissions support to University System of Maryland institutions and offering an $800 credit for impacted students.
These students worked hard, earned their spot in college, and were ready to begin the next chapter – we want them to do so in Maryland.
If you're one of the students who were just disenrolled from Howard University, Maryland has your back.
We're working to provide expedited admission support to University System of Maryland schools, explore financial aid options, and provide an $800 credit for impacted students.
We’ve partnered with local law enforcement and students to strengthen public safety and combat child poverty – because partnership produces progress and nothing else ever will
The @RedCross has issued a national blood crisis, with blood donations at a four-year summer low.
Marylanders – especially those with type O blood – if you’re able to do so, please consider becoming a blood and platelet donor to ensure hospitals have the blood they need for patients whose lives depend on transfusions: https://t.co/gPOZXb6JC2
I’m incredibly proud of Coppin State University's success and their commitment to ensuring students have an affordable and truly transformative educational experience.
Proud of this progress, and proud to be a partner in the work.
Coppin State University President Anthony Jenkins implemented a program offering in-state tuition to students from states with no HBCUs

The ADA didn't just change buildings and sidewalks. It changed expectations.
Our state remains fully committed to safeguarding the essential services and resources that empower individuals with disabilities to live independently. The progress made over the past 36 years will stay protected, no matter what changes come from the federal level.
The ADA was not an endpoint – but just the beginning of an initiative to leave no one behind.
Over the last two years, we've invested $25 million in Anne Arundel County to strengthen public safety — including funding for the Real-Time Information Center, giving law enforcement better tools to prevent and solve crime in real time as effectively as possible.
This all-of-the-above approach also includes supports in violence reduction, victim services, treatment and recovery, and youth intervention.
When community members lead, solutions stick.
Thanks to funding from the ENOUGH Initiative, students are spending their summer at Fox Automotive in Glen Burnie, learning and building valuable real-world skill sets that will let them connect to jobs and certifications that employers look for.
The ENOUGH Initiative puts real power and funding directly into the hands of the people who know their neighborhoods best.
Every room that our children are in, our children are not in that room because of someone's kindness, but because they belong there.
Jack and Jill of America, Inc. have advocated for our children’s development, growth, quality of life, child care, and the promotion of children’s rights for decades – and @dawnflythemoore and I are so proud to stand with them.
This summer, we’ve helped feed over 584,000 Maryland students through our SUN Bucks program.
No child should ever go hungry, and the success of SUN Bucks has brought that goal closer to reality, and I’m grateful to the @MDHumanServices for their great work on this program.

Together with our federal and regional partners, we’re working to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge as quickly, safely, and cost-efficiently as possible.
Maryland’s farmers, chefs, producers, and watermen do an incredible job of keeping people fed. Buying local means you’re supporting them, Maryland small businesses, and your community.
