I believe that everyone has a right to healthcare as a human right, clean air & water, food that’s safe to eat, collective bargaining, and wages that keep up with the cost of living. If you agree, please join me on October 7! Get your tickets here: go.sheilaruth.com/fall2026

I was honored to receive the endorsement of @afscmemd.org as a “Public Service Champion.” AFSCME members do the essential work that powers state and local government and serves all Marylanders, and I’m proud to stand with them today and always.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support Team 44 today! With your help we knocked nearly 500 doors to connect with neighbors in Woodlawn and Westview Park. The primary is less than 2 months away on June 23 so be sure to vote! I would be honored if you would vote for me and the rest of the team.

We’re still here at 11:00 pm on Saturday debating the Community Trust Act. We’ve been working since 10 am this morning as we try to get as much done as we can to protect and support Marylanders before the 2026 session ends Monday night at midnight.

It’s a new day in Annapolis! Speaker Peña-Melnyk released her reorganization plan & there’s so much to love. I’m grateful the Speaker entrusted me to lead the Labor subcommittee on the new Labor, Elections, & Government Committee, and I’m excited to get to work! marylandmatters.org/2025/12/29/p...

A shortage of affordable housing in Maryland hurts working families and puts homeownership out of reach for too many. My committee will have a virtual briefing on the state of residential development today at 1:00. Watch live here: tinyurl.com/zc2vjfb

I got my flu shot yesterday and the latest COVID vaccine last month. Flu and COVID have been low but we’re headed into the winter surge. If you haven’t got your vaccines yet, now is a good time to protect yourself & those around you through the winter.

What kind of monsters withhold food assistance, appeal to the Supreme Court for their right to withhold it, then demand states take it back? Hell yes, I’m angry. Taking food away from hungry children is a red line for me, and should be for everyone.

In America, we don't have kings, we have a Constitution, and everyone, even our President, must follow it. Only a large peaceful mobilization can stop the slide to authoritarianism. We need millions of people in the streets! I'll be at Catonsville No Kings. Find an event near you: www.nokings.org

Remembering the tragic events of 9/11. Today, 24 years later, I honor those who lost their lives and their loved ones, the survivors, and all still affected, physically and mentally, including the first responders who put their own lives and health at risk in service of others. You are not forgotten

Everything about our healthcare system is broken. If we had universal, single-payer healthcare, then by definition all doctors would be in-network. And no, I don’t mean privatizing doctors; just that the government would be the insurer. #healthcareforall www.thebanner.com/economy/john...

On the MARC train headed to DC to join press conference at 9:30 for reintroduction of @rokhanna.bsky.social and @edmarkey.bsky.social’s State Based Universal Health Care Act. At only $8 to DC from Halethorpe with no stress from traffic or parking, MARC is one of the best deals around!

Happy Pollinator Week! Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds are essential to the ecosystem, and needed to grow most of the food we eat. Thank you to @mdsha.bsky.social for your work on this issue. See what they've achieved so far at this link: www.roads.maryland.gov/mdotsha/page...

Juneteenth is a day of celebration, but also a day to recognize that the work of eliminating racial disparities is not yet done. This year is especially difficult as forces including our own federal government are working to dismantle progress. Today and always I commit to working for true equity.
Here's wishing you and yours a Happy Juneteenth. Yours, Delegate Sheila Ruth.

I joined 87 of my colleagues in a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to urge them to correct policy failures by PJM, the regional grid operator, which would lead to increased rates and unnecessary payments to electric companies. Read it here: www.canva.com/design/DAGoA...

Last night on the eve of Sine Die I was struck by the dramatic sky behind Justice Thurgood Marshall and the State House dome, both reminders of why we’re here and the important work we do here. Happy Sine Die, everyone. #working4maryland
