Larry Hogan is the first governor in MD history to have made millions while in office. Amazingly, nearly 40% of all affordable housing awards Hogan’s team approved went to six clients of his own real estate firm, from which he never divested. What’s going on here?

For years reporters always call him “popular Larry Hogan” — my bet was the people who liked him best were the clients of his firm he enabled to make millions. This never should have happened. time.com/7081664/exclusive-a…

You may wonder - who is paying for all those annoying and deceptive ads opposing @AngelaAlsobrooks? I looked it up. "Maryland's Future" funded by out of state MAGA Republican $$$ is flooding our platforms. It is a deceptive effort to boost Larry Hogan.

Today I had the privilege of speaking in support of bills HB 503 and SB 586- a bill that will make our buildings safer through strong CSST standards. Thank you to @BenBrooksSr and @DelDanaStein for leading the charge on these critical bills.

My decision to return to work was made when it seemed nothing was happening and there was no end in sight to this strike. Now that both sides have agreed to go back to the negotiating table I’m going to delay the return of Real Time, for now, and hope they can finally get this done.
