Criminal Justice Reform

Like Congressman Cummings before me, I’m a practicing attorney who has the skills and experience to fight for real justice in Congress. My record on civil rights, criminal justice, and voting rights speaks for itself. Over a decade before the murder of Freddie Gray or the cruelty and lawlessness of the Gun Trace Task Force were unmasked, I was fighting on the front lines for police and government accountability as an attorney and legislator.

I served as the Director of the Baltimore Office of Civil Rights and Wage Enforcement prior to my ascension to the State Senate. The late Congressman Cummings called me “The People’s Champion”, a moniker I carry with pride to this day.

Ending Injustice in the Justice System

As the People’s Champion, I will take the fight against racist policing, the failed War on Drugs, and mass incarceration to the halls of Congress. From ending cash bail to civil asset forfeiture and felon disenfranchisement, I will be a champion for all people, and will advocate and legislate to end unjust practices that target and exploit people of color.

Justice not Vengeance

The roots of crime run deep, but they aren’t complex. Crime, especially violent crime, flourishes where opportunities are scarce. Where people are sequestered in poor health and poverty, where trauma is left untreated and where people are viewed as problems and not citizens, the disease of violent crime begins to spread.

Decades of experience are conclusive: harsh punishment is no deterrent and vengeance solves nothing. Three strikes laws, mandatory minimums and the War on Drugs have not ended violent crime, only broken up families and destroyed lives.

Ending violence requires a public health approach: studying the spread of violence, addressing the underlying causes, and intervening early to stem the spread and prevent future harm. Being proactive, providing opportunities, and addressing the trauma lived by people whose neighborhoods are still overcoming violence not only drives down current crime rates, but heals people and communities to prevent future violence.

Education

Funding our Schools

Education funding, largely tied to local property taxes, is terribly inequitable: The average low income school district receives roughly 15% less state and local funding per pupil than the average wealthy school district. Educational outcomes should not depend on a child’s zip code, but so long as educational funding is chained to the property tax, we cannot hope to give most kids a fair shot at a bright future.

Our children deserve a world-class education. We can achieve that by building new schools, shrinking class sizes, and giving teachers, paraeducators and support staff the salaries they actually earn each and every day. We can’t expect the best from our kids unless and until we invest in them.

Higher Ed and Student Debt

Right now, the youngest generation in the workforce is weighed down by an astronomical amount of student debt. Before they were even adults themselves, they were told the only way to make a living was to go to college. And with tuition raised exponentially since the prior generation, they only way for young people to go to college was to take out loans as teenagers – loans that they never would have been given in the first place if they were going to be used to buy a house, a car, or to start a business.

The only way our economy is going to keep moving forward is for student debt to be abolished. To prevent this catastrophe from being continued or recreated, we need to bring back free public higher education. This idea isn’t new, and it isn’t radical. Public universities used to be free or nearly free for in-state students, with tuition and fees representing only small token buy-ins from students. Today, many public colleges and universities have tuition and fees that total what a private school education would have been just a generation ago. By making public higher education free and ending student debt, we can spur economic growth for all generations and make education and achievement truly based on merit, not inheritance.

Environment

Green New Deal

Scientists say we have just 10 years to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change. But the fact is that the people of Maryland’s 7th District already experience the climate crisis on a daily basis. With record heat waves, rising sea levels, and severe storms, we cannot wait for action.

On my first day in Congress, I will join fellow House Democrats in co-sponsoring the Green New Deal, which will lay the groundwork for clean jobs, clean neighborhoods, and a brighter future for our district and our country. Nationally, Green New Deal programs can create millions of jobs and get us off of dirty energy in a decade. Locally, investment in clean energy and infrastructure can create good paying jobs, clean neighborhoods, clean air, and ease traffic congestion with projects that include:

  • Building the Red Line to bring jobs, connect neighborhoods, and bring opportunities to Baltimore’s most neglected communities
  • New clean energy generation, replacing incineration and coal and clearing the air for our young children, elders, and vulnerable adults
  • Providing grants and other support to small and minority-owned businesses bidding to work on infrastructure projects
  • Prioritizing rail over road to get commuters to work faster, cheaper, and cleaner

Saving the Bay

Much of our district is just minutes from Maryland’s natural treasure, the Chesapeake Bay. Decades of corporate greed have polluted our water and devastated fisheries. A clean Bay means healthier people, more jobs, and more resilient ecosystems. As your Congresswoman, I will fight for increased funding to clean up and restore the Bay.

It’s my goal to see the Bay as healthy as it can be and every American living in a healthy and safe environment. I will fight to fully fund the EPA and hold polluters accountable. It’s good for the economy, for the environment, and for everyone who works and lives in the 7th.

Fair Economy

Paid Parental Leave

Many parents are forced to work immediately after they welcome a new child into their family, either by birth or adoption. For nearly all parents, the costs for pre-K and childcare can spiral out of control. In the United States, the natural stress of parenthood is compounded by significant — and preventable — economic risk. I believe in reducing that economic risk and making child rearing affordable for all families.

Child Allowance

I support creating a universal monthly child allowance, which would offset the expense of raising a child, an aspect of life that is increasingly unfeasible for working and middle class Americans. I also stand for a national mandate of 40 weeks of guaranteed, paid parental leave.

Early Childhood Education

The achievement gap starts young, with the children of lower income parents falling behind the children of parents who can afford to send their children to early childhood education programs. It’s time we begin free public early childhood education and care beginning at age 6 months and lasting through Pre-K, the same as we already do now with Kindergarten.

A Living Wage

Worker productivity has increased for decades, but rather than increased productivity going into wages, it’s gone into record-setting corporate profits that haven’t reached employees. To correct for inflation and increased productivity, we need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage of $22 an hour and automatically index it to inflation and productivity going forward. Raising the minimum wage won’t only help the lowest paid workers, but reinvigorate the economy for the middle and working classes by putting more money and purchasing power into the pockets of everyday Americans.

Government Accountability

Fighting Corruption

The Trump Administration has made it brutally obvious: our democracy is in desperate need of repair. Members of Congress roll out of office and into lucrative lobbying and consulting groups. Right-wing ideologues systematically disenfranchise African Americans, immigrants, and the poor, and the Supreme Court levels attack after attack on voting rights.

Worse still, elected officials pocket massive checks from private interests like pharmaceutical companies, defense contractors, and fossil fuel companies to do their bidding in Congress. But we can end this revolving door of favoritism and corruption by instituting a lifetime ban on Members of Congress and Cabinet Secretaries from becoming lobbyists. Public officials need to serve the interests of the public, not industry, and serving in office cannot be used as a fast track to a golden parachute.

Finally, I would join with colleagues in introducing a Constitutional Amendment to repeal the Citizens United decision. We cannot guarantee our elections are free from undue influence until secret organizations and big industries are once again banned from dumping unlimited, undisclosed cash into advocacy and electoral campaigns.

Voting Rights

Voting is one of our most cherished rights as citizens. With the destruction of the Voting Rights Act however, that most sacred of rights is under attack. All across this country, people of color have been singled out with discriminatory voter ID laws, polling place closures, and modern day poll taxes.

We need to stand up for the rights for which so many have fought and died. To reach young people and new citizens and welcome them to our electoral process, we need to implement an automatic voter registration system, which will register every eligible voter and give them the choice to opt out if they decide. And to end this new era of Jim Crow-style voter suppression, we need to pass legislation in Congress to revive the Voting Rights Act and explicitly authorize the Department of Justice to apply renewed scrutiny to states that have histories – and present-day practices – of disenfranchisement and voter suppression.

Healthcare

Medicare for All

The constituents of Maryland’s 7th District have been suffering under the weight of a healthcare system which consistently fails to meet and address their medical needs. This system is riddled with racial and economic disparities, which leaves patients without care when they need it most.

I believe that healthcare is a basic human right. Our current for-profit healthcare system is wasteful and inefficient. The way to fix this system is by transitioning into a universal, single-payer system, which places emphasis on healthcare outcomes rather than profits. Patients deserve a system that focuses on their care without having to worry that they will go bankrupt if they see their doctor or have an unexpected medical emergency. Opening a “public option” fails to address the underlying cause of the healthcare crisis that we face, in which the insurance industry and large healthcare monopolies deny care to boost their profits.

Universal coverage: prescriptions, dental, vision, and long-term care

On my first day in Congress, following the example of the late Congressman Cummings, I will join the 119 House Democratic members in co-sponsoring H.R. 1384, The Medicare For All Act of 2019. Medicare for All will provide universal coverage to all Americans while lowering the cost of healthcare expenditures long term. It will provide universal care without co-pays, premiums, or deductibles and will expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and long-term care. Under Medicare for All, we will join every major industrialized nation in the world in providing healthcare as a basic human right to its citizens.[10]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Maryland

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
