This is good news! The majority of Maryland's 24 public school systems boosted their teachers' pay to a minimum salary of $60k, which is key to recruiting and retaining qualified teachers, and part of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, the state's plan for education reform.

Families need lower grocery bills, not deeper cuts to programs that help put food on the table. While costs keep rising, politicians shouldn't make it even harder for parents and seniors to afford a meal. Real leadership lowers costs instead of raising hunger.

🧵 TAKE ACTION 📣 Big health insurance companies are at it again – proposing yet another rate increase for Marylanders with marketplace plans. This is the third year in a row they've asked for more, and our state has approved the last two. Enough is enough.

Last year, our lawmakers passed a bill to require gas utilities like BGE and Washington Gas to prioritize SAFETY – not PROFITS – in their gas pipeline replacement. This would lower our bills and keep us safe. But gas utilities aren’t following the law. (1/2)
Dark blue campaign graphic with bold green text reading "GAS UTILITIES PIPELINE PROGRAMS PRIORITIZE PROFIT – NOT SAFETY." White text below explains that lawmakers passed a bill last year to address this, but gas utilities aren't following the law.
