Take a deep breath, folks: June is almost over.
This month has proven two things: Our challenges are numerous, and our adversaries are absolutely shameless in their cruelty and lies.
But I want to make it clear that these challenges do not define us. Our response to them will.
When I gave the commencement address to Bowie State University graduates, I said this:
“I’ve got news for you: Discomfort is a reality in this life. You can run from it. You can try to avoid it. But boldness doesn’t hide from a little hard work, and it doesn’t hide from challenges.”
Yup, that’s right: Boldness doesn’t hide from a challenge, and neither do I. That’s why I’m asking for a contribution of $10 before our FEC End-of-Quarter finance deadline to help power my work for Maryland.
Here are a few bold moments from June that I’m especially proud to share with you:
- I introduced the Medicare and Medicaid Dental, Vision, and Hearing Benefit Act to guarantee seniors and lower-income Marylanders access to these lifesaving services.
- I continued my campaign to remove disastrous HHS secretary RFK Jr. after becoming the 1st member of Congress to call for his resignation.
- I spoke candidly with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell about all the reasons RFK Jr. MUST go — from $15 million cuts to cancer research to a growing measles outbreak to his deadly lies about vaccines and MORE.
- I defended my colleague, Senator Padilla, on the Senate floor, after he was handcuffed and thrown to the floor for questioning the Trump administration (AKA doing his job).
- I’ll close out on a more positive and colorful note: I was honored to serve as Grand Marshal in Baltimore’s 50th Pride Annual Parade and meet so many members of our LGBTQ+ community!
This month’s challenges are not done yet, however: Our FEC End-of-Quarter deadline is on Monday, and I’m counting on your help to cross the finish line.
Your grassroots support helps me update you regularly on our triumphs, hurdles, and everything in between.
Please, will you rush a $10 End-of-Quarter donation to help me continue BOLDLY confronting our biggest challenges both on and off Capitol Hill?
