I am pleased to announce that our brave @AACOPD Detectives Scott Ballard and Ian Preece are out of surgery and taking the first steps on the road to recovery. Their families are with them and making sure they have support. Let’s all continue to send positive thoughts their way!

- I am honored to have been selected to serve as the master of ceremonies for the inauguration of Governor-elect Wes Moore @iamwesmoore and Lt. Governor-elect Aruna Miller @arunamiller.
- I hoped we were done with government mandates in our response to COVID, but the current rate of spread and hospitalization is not sustainable, for our hospitals, our schools, our public safety agencies, or our businesses. Masks slow the spread, and it’s time to put them back on.
- Thank you to the people of South Korea, First Lady Yumi Hogan, and @GovLarryHogan for the forthcoming additional testing capacity that was announced today.On Saturday, First Lady Yumi Hogan and I stood on the tarmac at @BWI_Airport to welcome the first ever Korean Air passenger plane, carrying a very important payload of LabGun #COVID19 test kits which will give MD the capability of performing half a million coronavirus tests.
- Our newspaper @capgaznews is once again under attack. This time it's from its new owner, Alden Global Capital. Please share this letter with anyone who values local journalism.
- Today we made the difficult decision to keep #AnneArundel at Stage 2. Unfortunately, cases in our county are increasing right now and recent experience shows clearly that if we increase activity, our rate of spread will accelerate more. We can't risk that.aacounty.org/news-and-event…
- I am saddened to learn this evening from @MDHealthDept that #AnneArundel has suffered our first death from COVID-19 - a county resident in his 80's. We don’t yet know who he is, but we know that he is one of us. We want his family to know that we are there for them.
- Please join me in holding @SpeakerBusch and his family in the light. Rarely are we given a leader so humble, so perceptive, and so fair. We love you Iron Mike. capitalgazette.com/news/general_a…
- In consultation with @RecParks I have decided to waive all fees to our county parks beginning March 16. Our parks are remaining open, and are now accessible for everyone to enjoy during this time when open space is needed.
- With permission I am sharing this early morning text message below from @AACOPD Chief Amal Awad. Our law enforcement officers will have a long, cold day today protecting our people and our institutions from those who seek to do harm. Thank you, from a grateful community.
- Today, I signed an executive order to close all private and community playgrounds in #AnneArundel. We closed county playgrounds last week, but are receiving reports that people are still congregating on neighborhood playgrounds. We must keep our children safe and #SlowtheSpread.
- Replying to @AACoExecIf we haven’t figured out how to get cars off the road by the time this bridge gets built, we’ll have much bigger problems to confront than traffic. Let’s not build yesterday’s bridge tomorrow.
- Anne Arundel County is a better place because of Speaker Mike Busch. He left us with buildings and parks where our people come together as community, and he led us with a humility and compassion that reminds us what matters in life.
- Read my full statement on the discharge of a firearm at Arundel Mills today below. Three months ago, the Supreme Court made it more dangerous to go to the mall in America.
