Pedestrian Sign Installed by Kaiser Building Hyattsville!

District 2 continues to deliver for our community. There is a new pedestrian crossing flashing sign on both sides of the intersections of Ager Rd. It was great to work with Hyattsville Councilmembers Solomon and Sandino on this important community safety concern. Big thanks to Authorities at DPWT for installing the new pedestrian safety sign. We are actively working to make our streets safer for all.

We delivered 230 Turkey’s and 25 Ham’s to 5 schools, a community center, and El Poder Deser Mujer, thanks to the generosity of those who invest in our community. Seeing the smiles and gratitude on the faces of those in our community was truly priceless. We continue to be dedicated to building a stronger more caring community. Together we are making a difference one turkey at a time! 🌍✨ let’s continue to spread, love, kindness, and warmth this holiday season! Happy Thanksgiving from our District 2 family to yours! 🦃🍗

It’s with a heavy heart I learned of the passing of Ric Gordon. He was a man of passion and public service. His role as a City Councilmember for the City of Greenbelt was a role he did with his entire heart. He will be missed.

The Maryland Legislative Black Caucus Gala was a blast! Congratulations to Chairwoman Jheanelle Wilkins and the entire caucus! 🎉🖤

We were shocked and saddened by the news of the tragic accident that took the lives of two young elementary students who were walking to school this morning.  Mere words cannot express our heartfelt sympathy to the families, friends, and entire school community of Riverdale, Maryland for this horrific incident. Being mindful of the importance of public and road safety cannot be emphasized enough. Coucilmember Fisher is committed to strengthening awareness for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, vehicle passengers and implementing additional safety measures around school districts where there are children present. Please know that the Councilmember Fisher shares your pain and we are available for support and a source of comfort. We will continue to pray for the families who lost their loved ones during this most difficult time as we approach the holiday season.
 
Our Sincerest Condolences,

Happy Founders’ Day to the Men of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated! Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® is sending our congratulations on 112 years of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift!

The Prince George’s County Council took a tour of the University of Maryland, College Park to discuss the economic development on the route 1 corridor at the Terrapin Development Company, enrollment of PGCPS students and the continued collaboration between the County and UMD. It was great to visit my former professor Dr.Nina Harris and spend time with students and faculty. When I was asked about my journey in public service, one thing I mentioned was tutoring kids in my current district at the age of 19 at UMD. I said that being the youngest elected woman on County Council isn’t magic, but was really Maryland.


Forever a TERP!! 🎉🐢❤️🖤💛🤍
