Last week, a federal judge ruled in favor of Maryland’s motion for a temporary restraining order to require 18 federal agencies to halt the illegal mass layoffs of probationary employees and reinstate those employees fired. Attorney General Brown and 20 attorneys-general filed this lawsuit and motion to stop the illegal firings by DOGE. 

I was proud to assist by providing a declaration explaining the damaging effect these layoffs would have on Maryland’s revenues, and the judge specifically cited my testimony - identifying that these firings will have a negative effect for the foreseeable future unless reversed. 

You can find my statement on social media and below: 

These are challenging times for our country and for Maryland. Whether it’s speaking up at agencies to support our workers, assisting with motions in court, or ensuring I provide calm, competent leadership concerning our revenue projections - I’ll do all I can to ensure a stable future for our families, communities, and our state.

My best,
