Over the weeks since the election, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting, grieving, and finding my footing again.

This one hurt...not because we didn’t give it everything we had, but because we did. We ran the strongest campaign we have ever run. With the support of 20+ unions and advocacy organizations, thousands of doors knocked, an incredible army of volunteers, and so many of you who believed in a different kind of leadership, we came within just a few percentage points of winning.

We faced extraordinary opposition, including hundreds of thousands of dollars in outside spending and misleading attacks. But we didn’t back down. We built a movement.

And I am so proud of what we built together.

This campaign was never just about one election. I’m from this community. I love this community. And I’m not going anywhere.

You’ll still see me in the streets demanding justice, in the halls of power holding elected officials accountable, and alongside the people who believe Prince George’s deserves better.

We may not have won this fight. But we can win the next one...and the one after that, and the one after that. Real change has never come from one election. It comes from people who refuse to stop showing up.

Thank you for showing up with me. Thank you for believing in this movement. And thank you for reminding me that hope is always worth fighting for ❤️

It’s hard to believe that election day is already tomorrow!! ✨

Today I’m reflecting on gratitude for my volunteers. They’ve been working alongside me knocking on doors, making calls, texting, and meeting people across the district for months.

We’ve had thousands of conversations learning about the issues and the resounding message is clear: our community wants a government that works for us, not corporations or special interests.

This is the foundation of what my campaign has stood for - leadership that is accountable to people first. Let’s win this! ✊🏽♥️

I'm grateful to have the continued support of the Sierra Club as we build a campaign focused on creating a healthier, more sustainable future for Maryland.

Environmental protection isn't just about preserving natural resources—it's about public health, environmental justice, clean air and water, and ensuring future generations inherit a livable planet. These are values I've carried throughout my career in public service and will continue to champion in the State Senate.

Thank you to the Sierra Club and everyone fighting for a cleaner, greener future. Together, we can make Maryland a leader in climate action and environmental stewardship.

We know what happens when establishment politicians and corporate interests get scared: they attack…and we activate.

No one knows this better than former Congressman Jamaal Bowman. That’s why I’m proud to have his support in my race for the Maryland State Senate.

While my opponents and their allies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on disingenuous promotions, negative attacks and distractions, our campaign is focused on the issues that matter to Maryland families and the work that still needs to be done.

The truth is, this race isn’t powered by special interests—it’s powered by people. That’s why more than 20 unions and advocacy organizations have endorsed our campaign. They know we need leaders who will stand up for working families, fight for economic justice, and deliver real results for our communities.

We won’t be distracted by the attacks. We’ll keep organizing, keep building, and keep moving forward together.

Big news for our campaign: I'm grateful to have the support of donors from all walks of life—including Andy Shallal, community leader, activist, and founder of Busboys and Poets.

Our campaign is bringing together a diverse coalition of educators, small business owners, labor advocates, community leaders, grassroots activists, and residents who believe District 23 deserves bold, effective leadership.

This growing support is a reminder that our message is resonating with people across different backgrounds and experiences. As a former Prince George's County Board of Education member and lifelong Prince Georgian, I've dedicated my career to expanding opportunity, strengthening public education, and empowering communities.

I'm thankful to everyone who has invested in this movement. Together, we're building a people-powered campaign focused on delivering results for working families and creating a Maryland that works for everyone.

Join us in this final stretch as we talk to voters, and build the future our community deserves.

Honored to be endorsed by Third Act Maryland 🦀

This endorsement means a lot because it comes from a group of experienced advocates who understand that the decisions we make today will shape the future our children and grandchildren inherit.

Third Act Maryland is fighting for climate action, environmental justice, and a stronger democracy—and so am I.

As your next State Senator, I'll work to advance clean energy, protect our environment, and build a more sustainable future for Maryland.

Thank you, Third Act Maryland, for your trust and support. The future is worth fighting for!!

I am honored to receive the endorsement of Maryland National Organization for Women PAC 🚺

This endorsement represents a shared commitment to protecting reproductive freedom, advancing gender equality, and creating opportunities for women and families across Maryland.

This race offers voters a clear choice. While my opponent has opposed no-fault divorce reform, voted against expanding access to reproductive healthcare, and opposed public health funding that supports women, I am committed to moving Maryland forward.

As your next State Senator, I will fight for reproductive rights, economic opportunity, and policies that empower women and strengthen families.

Thank you to Maryland NOW PAC for your trust and support. I am proud to stand with those working every day to advance equality and justice for all Marylanders ✨

I am honored to receive the endorsement of UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO 🌟

This endorsement holds special meaning because it comes from the public employees who make Maryland work every day. The librarians, public service professionals, and government employees represented by MCGEO are on the front lines of serving our communities. They understand better than anyone that strong public institutions are built by dedicated workers who deserve respect, fair wages, safe working conditions, and a seat at the table.

Thank you to the members and leadership of UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO for your endorsement and your partnership. I am proud to stand with organized labor and with Maryland's working families!

Honored to earn the endorsement of the Maryland State & DC AFL-CIO — representing more than 340,000 union members across our region ✊💙

This is a big endorsement for our campaign and a reminder of what we’re fighting for: strong unions, fair wages, safe workplaces, and an economy that works for working families.

I’m proud to stand with labor!!
