In Baltimore, extreme heat is not distributed equally. Neighborhoods with fewer trees, more pavement, and decades of disinvestment can feel dangerously hotter, while many of the families living there are already struggling with rising energy bills.

Utility rate hikes make it even harder for people to safely cool their homes during the hottest months of the year.

PMD congratulates Tiffany Jones on her Baltimore City Central Committee primary win. As a lifelong East Baltimore resident, LGBTQ+ liaison for the city of Baltimore, and police misconduct investigator, Tiffany brings a record shaped by public safety, voting rights, and community trust.

Baltimore County is entering a new chapter. After years of limited progressive representation, voters have the opportunity to send leaders to the County Council who are deeply rooted in their communities and committed to delivering results for working families. This election also puts Baltimore County on track to make history by electing one of its first Black women to the County Council - a milestone that reflects the need for more diverse leadership in our communities. PMD congratulates our endorsed candidates on advancing from the primary and applauds their commitment to listening first, leading with integrity, and fighting for neighborhoods where every family can thrive. Together, they represent a stronger, more inclusive vision for Baltimore County and the work still ahead.
