On the first day of Army training, I learned a mantra that now serves as the mission for our campaign: Leave no one behind. That’s how I intend to govern. I’ll fight for a Maryland where our economy is booming, our children have access to a world-class education, where our communities are safer, and where women have the freedom to make their own reproductive decisions. That’s the Maryland I want to create, and I’ll work tirelessly every day to get it done.

As a United States Senator, I will propose and pass the following legislation to improve the quality of life for everyone in our country:
