Political violence has no place in our country, and every single American deserves to be safe from gun violence.
My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his loved ones.
The findings of this independent investigation by the Office of the Inspector General leaves no doubt in its affirmation of my integrity in how I operate and lead.
Is Baltimore a horror city?
My latest for @BaltimoreBanner is a little bit of a love letter to the city, all things horror and all the wonderful people the genre attracts.

We continue to make historic investments in communities across all of Baltimore County. Excited today to officially open this amazing new park in Pikesville.
Now more than ever, we need a nominee who will protect reproductive freedom, defend our democracy, and fight for working families across our county.
I look forward to nominating @KamalaHarris for President at the DNC. She has my full and enthusiastic support.

The introduction of a new bill to address concerns that we — and countless others — have raised is a curious and convoluted approach to addressing the flaws associated with the original APFO legislation.

We can meaningfully address school overcrowding and address housing needs. I urge members of the County Council to return to the table so we can do just that.
I share your concerns regarding school overcrowding and support efforts to responsibly address it. At the same time, we must expand access to attainable housing.
I'm vetoing Bill 31-24 (Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance)—read my letter to the County Council:
This is what leadership looks like. Thanks to @JohnnyOJr for his forward-thinking advocacy on housing. As he noted, we can solve our housing issues through collaboration, while also fully addressing school overcrowding. Honored to speak as co-founder of https://t.co/CU5ZUXoo69
The County Executive's Veto of Council Bill 31-24 was the right decision. The final version of this bill was an all too familiar example of having the best of intentions coupled with disorganized execution. 1/2
This is the right thing to do. The adequate public facilities bill by the Council does not resolve facility bottlenecks but stifles development instead.
Baltimore County executive vetoes ordinance curbing development in areas with overcrowded schools https://t.co/tAdzZwxAYT
With this veto, Baltimore County Executive @JohnnyOJr shows why he's one of the leading voices on housing in Maryland and, soon, nationwide.
The APFO Housing Moratorium doesn't solve school overcrowding and exacerbates the housing crisis.

I applaud Councilmembers for finally introducing legislation to expand the County Council—helping ensure our government is more responsive and equitable for all our residents. The Council must act with urgency to ensure this issue is on the ballot so voters can decide this fall.
THANK YOU to everyone who knocked on doors, who made phone calls, and who trusted me with your vote. You have made this movement possible, and I am honored to be your official Democratic nominee for Congress.
This year's budget makes a major down payment to begin rightsizing historical underfunding in @BaltCoRec.
We'll keep working with our neighbors to provide more modern, equitable, and transparent services for children and families alike over the next 75 years and beyond.
Government can be an engine of progress, helping residents in every ZIP code reach their full potential.
That work also extends into the ongoing imperative to make sure that every family can find a safe, affordable place to call home.

I applaud the County Council for confirming such a forward-thinking leader tonight.
Looking forward to our ongoing partnership as we continue to build a better Baltimore County!
