Today, I signed the HERO Act to ensure families of first responders who die in the line of duty receive survivor benefits quickly, fairly, and without red tape. This law honors their sacrifice by making sure their loved ones are supported when they need it most.

This week, I signed Expedited Bill 31-25 to strengthen tenant protections in Montgomery County. By increasing eviction notice from 6 to 14 days & requiring landlord notification to the County, we can connect residents to resources sooner & help prevent homelessness.

I had the honor of celebrating GeorgiAnna “Mother Bernice" Martin’s 100th birthday in Olney. Born in 1925, she has spent a lifetime serving this community, her church, and Montgomery County. We’re better because of elders like her who carry our history and wisdom forward.
