I was honored to attend the Annapolis Pride Legislative Reception Monday night at LEO Annapolis restaurant on West Street. Leaders in the LGBTQIA+ community and numerous elected officials came together share ideas and discuss priorities for the upcoming year, and the future.

Today was a tough ending, but it was an incredibly successful season for the Washington Commanders. Congratulations to the entire organization and their many fans, including all of those who live and work here in Annapolis!

My family and I are saddened today by the death of former President Jimmy Carter. He set a standard for empathy and compassion that all former and current elected officials should seek to emulate. He was a good man and a caring public servant. That will be his legacy.

We are blessed this year to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa literally within hours of each other. My family and I want to wish “happy holidays” to all those who celebrate those important religious observances. I wish everyone a joyous holiday season and the happiest of new years!

The Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Resilience Authority was created in 2022 to secure and allocate critical financing for infrastructure projects in the city and county. At last night’s meeting, Mayor Buckley and County Exec Pittman thanked Teresa for her service and accomplishments.

The Annapolis Fire Department does an amazing job of going from neighborhood to neighborhood, working with community leaders like Polly Ortlieb, to bring Santa to the neighborhood kids and collect toys for Annapolis kids with the help of school counselors. Partnerships like this work!

I was so thankful to be invited to the Government House to celebrate Hanukkah. The First Lady and Governor so warmly welcomed us into their home and reminded us of the importance of supporting one another. I especially enjoyed Rabbi Dana Soroken's teachings about finding optimism and pessimism.

I applaud County Executive Pittman on today's State of the County address. I was particularly encouraged with his focus on the work that still needs to be done to help our city and our county recover from the lingering negative impacts of the COVID epidemic.

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm especially grateful this year to my campaign team, everyone around Annapolis for their support, people who have met with me and enlighted me to issues around Annapolis, and my family. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy holiday!

Merry O'Brien brought the live-aboard community together for a conversation with our campaign to hear their concerns about potential restrictions in Annapolis marinas. Thank you to Alderman Brooks Schandelmeier for joining us and to Monica from Bread and Butter Kitchen for the space!
