Last night we lost a giant. Rep. John Lewis was kind, thoughtful, intelligent, and as fierce as they come. His strength and perseverance were unmatched. Lewis was brutally beaten on Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday in 1965, suffering a concussion and fractured skull. While still recovering, he participated in the 54 mile March from Selma to Montgomery. It was because big the efforts of people like Lewis that the Voting Rights Act ended up passing a few months later.

John Lewis never stopped fighting and never stopped marching. He was and will always be an inspiration to millions, and our country is far better off because of the sacrifices he made and the strength of his convictions.

He could have rested on his laurels decades ago with his legacy already solidified, but that wasn't who he was. He was a fighter until the end and truly earned his place in the pantheon of American greats.

I urge our members of Congress to honor the inimitable John Lewis by expanding the Voting Rights Act. Monuments and dedication ceremonies are nice, but I guarantee Rep. Lewis would rather see action taken on his behalf. For a man who was so instrumental in fighting for equality, advocating for voting rights seems like the right place to start.

Rest in peace, Rep. John Lewis.

Although we were all heartbroken by the loss of Congressman Elijah Cummings, we were inspired by remarks from Senator Ben Cardin, our County Executive John Olszewski Jr., our Attorney General Brian Brian E. Frosh, and our Speaker of the House Adrienne Jones who highlighted Cummings' legacy and personal memories of Congressman.We are profoundly grateful for his service.

Thank you everyone who made 13th Baltimore County Democratic Party Unity Dinner a great success!

Last night, I was honored to be an interviewer together with other three members of Democratic State Central Committee (D.8) to make official recommendation to fill the vacancy of former Del. Eric Bromwell, my running mate. I found both candidates-- Carl Jackson and Nina Mc-- well versed on the critical function of a state Delegate. After the very productive interview and closed door deliberation we endorsed Carl Jackson. Nina McHugh
equally impressed her fellow central committee members and audience with her passion and advocacy particularly on our foster care children.
I would like to congratulate Carl Jackson (8th D) and Catherine Forbes (42A). Ms. Forbes will be replacing former Del. Steven W. Lafferty, my office mate. Next Tuesday, the full central committee will ratify the endorsements before Governor Lawrence J. Hogan Jr. makes the appointments official . I can’t thank all the candidates-- Nina McHugh, Henry Callegary( 42A), Cheryl Gottlieb ( 42A), and Jessica Kalitman ( 42A), -- enough for their impressive commitment and confidence for public service. Thank you Chairwoman Dr. Ebersole and my fellow state central committee members for their incredible leadership throughout the process. Thank you our community leaders and constituents who witness the process.

Absolutely, Annapolis should and will hear all of you!
