R.,

At midnight tonight, we’ll close the book on the final legislative session of the O’Malley-Brown Administration.

Over these past 90 days, we’ve passed legislation that will have a positive impact on all Marylanders.

Together, we expanded access to Pre-K for 1,600 more Maryland students, raised the minimum wage to $10.10 by 2018, secured new protections for domestic violence victims, decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana, put 22,00 acres of state land into preservation, and and reaffirmed our commitment to equality and justice by passing the Fairness for All Marylanders Act.

Thank you for all that you’ve done over these past 90 days to make these victories possible – calling legislators, rallying in Annapolis, and talking to people in your community. And of course, my thanks go out to Governor O’Malley and our legislative leaders for not only this session, but also for our successful partnership over the past eight years.

We’ve taken on the tough challenges, and made real progress.

We’ve worked together to make our communities safer by passing some of the toughest gun violence prevention laws in the nation. We’ve made our justice system fairer by eliminating the racially biased death penalty. We passed, and protected at the ballot box, the right for all Marylanders to marry whoever they love. We passed some of the country's strongest laws to improve the health of the Chesapeake Bay and combat climate change. And we've made our future brighter by making record investments in our schools, all while maintaining our state’s fiscal health.

With your help, Ken Ulman and I will build on that progress, and fight each and every day to create a better future for all of our families. 

We have a plan to make it happen – a plan that’s going to create jobs, grow our economy, close the achievement gap, make college more accessible by capping tuition at our public colleges and universities and establishing the Dream Fund so every Maryland child has the same opportunity for an afforable education, and continue to ensure that Maryland’s schools are some of the best in the nation.

As we look to the future, please take a moment to read and share the Brown-Ulman vision for a better Maryland.

There are just 77 days until the Democratic Primary and we’re going to keep working to earn every vote across our state – but we can only succeed with your help.

Thank you for being a part of the Brown-Ulman team – together, we’ll win this election and get to the hard work of building a better Maryland for more Marylanders.

Anthony Brown
