Marylanders Need Debates!
Voters in the Democratic primary to replace Sen. Mikulski deserve to know how their next Senator will tackle the important issues they face every day: inequality, equal pay, student loan debt, climate change, and more. That’s why I challenged Rep. Chris Van Hollen to join me for 6 debates across the state, starting in Baltimore. Will you join my call?
Why is this important?
Holding a full and open set of debates could not be more important. Our state and our country is in crisis, the top 1% keeps gaining more and more power -- and along with it influence over the levels of government, media, and industry -- while real families are struggling just trying to get by.
If we allow those with money, those with power, to set the parameters of this debate, we know they will bend them towards the establishment. This is a time for us to stand up and make sure everyday Marylanders get the full debate they deserve, not the one the establishment chooses for them.
Senator Barbara Mikulski is retiring. We owe it to her legacy to pursue a level of spirited discourse that raises expectations, and challenges each of us to stand before the voters and discuss our ideas.
