We will defend our constitutional rights. The people of our state voted to codify the right to choose into the Maryland Constitution. That right will be honored and respected in the State of Maryland. And we will continue to stand up for the basic rights of all Marylanders.

I understand Marylanders are worried about what this election means for them, their families, and their futures, and I want to be very clear: Our goal to make this Maryland's decade has not changed, and we are ready to work to ensure that Marylanders are protected.
