Hogan Declares State of Emerge ncy on Heroin/Opioid Crisis

The sharp increase in fentanyl-related deaths has  caused  the heroin and

opioid  crisis to worsen across Maryland and the nation. Heroin related deaths have nearly doubled in the last year in Maryland. This State of Emergency order will allow state and local coordination to more effectively address the epidemic.  "We need to treat this crisis the exact same way we would treat any other state emergency. With this continuing threat increasing at such an alarming rate, we must allow for rapid coordination with our state and local emergency teams," said Governor Hogan.

The order elevates the Opioid Operational Command Center to reside in the State Emergency Operations Center to coordinate more closely, effectively, and rapidly with emergency management personnel in all 24 jurisdictions across the state. 



Krebs Recognized for 94% Lifetime Score

The American Conservative Union honored Legislators with the Award for Conservative Achievement. The award was granted to Legislators who have a lifetime score of over 80% adherence to conservative principles in voting on legislation. Krebs lifetime score is 94%. 

The ACU selects bills that focus on former President Ronald Reagan's philosophy of the "three-legged stool": 1) economic: taxes, budgets, regulation, spending, healthcare, and property; 2) social and cultural: 2nd Amendment, religious freedom, life, welfare, and education; and 3) government integrity: voting, individual liberty, privacy, and transparency. 


Redistricting Press Conference 

Governor Hogan held a press conference to address the Redistricting Reform Act of 2017. Maryland is one of the most gerrymandering states in the Nation with some of the most partisan legislative and congressional districts. This Administration bill, if approved by voters in the next general election, would amend the constitutional provisions regarding redistricting reform as recommended by the non-partisan Redistricting Reform Commission.



 I am proud to be a cosponsor of this bill as I believe in a representative democracy.  Governor Hogan is right, let's get this done this year! 

Towson Pride Day

As a Towson Alumna, I was excited to spend time with Towson University students in Annapolis on their 18th annual Tiger Pride Day.
