The King's Chronicle: February 13, 2022

Thanks to supporters like you who make our work possible, Team King has had a busy past few weeks on the campaign trail. From plunging into the Potomac River to unveiling a new policy plan (and our own daily word game: King for Marylandle) to preparing for our statewide Promise to Progress Tour, we're so excited to share all we've been up to and what John and Michelle have coming up.
We hope you'll read on to check out some recent campaign highlights, news clippings, event recaps, and upcoming ways to get involved.

Onward,
Team King
