“All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That’s one of the things that connects us as neighbors — in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver.” — Fred Rogers

We will build a world-class education system, starting with Pre-K for every child in need. And we will invest in apprenticeship and trade programs, so that in our Maryland, every young person has a pathway to long-term economic success.

Ever since I came to this country in 1972, I’ve never stopped being excited for the promise of America. I will never stop fighting to make sure that promise is available to everyone. And this promise begins with a commitment to deliver a Maryland where we Leave No One Behind.

The journey of this campaign is one that many saw as improbable. But Maryland, you believed. You put in the work. And thanks to you, I am humbled to be Maryland’s next governor. What we built together is not just a moment—it is a movement. It is Maryland's time to lead.

I met @iamwesmoore over a decade ago amidst his dedication to social e’ship. His sincerity, empathy, leadership skills, and ability to listen stood out. He has an even more focused ethos today — and will be a remarkable Maryland Governor. #VoteMooreMiller – at Baltimore, MD

Everyone is saying the "VC freeze" is just at Series A and beyond. This might be controversial, but I think we should be transparent with founders on what is really happening. Pre-seed/seed is mostly frozen too. Here's what I'm seeing 🧵

Just in case you were wondering, @BaltimoreBanner is serious about data journalism. This viz is from @MsHallieMiller's launch story on vacant lots in Baltimore. It and more are waiting for you just on the other side of the paywall. #hellofromthebanner
