The Black Caucus is partnering with Maryland Health Care for All and AARP to produce a public forum on prescription drug affordability.

Please join us on Wednesday, September 9 at 6:30pm at Enoch Pratt — Southeast Anchor Branch for a dialogue on Maryland’s progress in making prescription drugs more affordable across our state. Panelists are: Mayor Brandon Scott, Council President Zeke Cohen, Dr. Andrew Young and Rev. Dr. Sandra Conner.

Prescription drug pricing is an issue that impacts so many Marylanders, which is why prescription drug affordability has been a consistent priority for this Caucus. It is important that all of us are at the table and heard. We hope to have you join us next week for what will surely be an insightful conversation!

Chair N. Scott Phillips on Maryland’s redistricting amendment: I voted to place the Maryland redistricting amendment (House Bill 2100) before the people of Maryland not because we were drawing congressional district maps or deciding who wins or loses an election. We voted to allow the people of Maryland to answer a constitutional question because, in a democracy, there is no higher authority than the people themselves.

“The filing of a federal lawsuit challenging Maryland’s Community Trust Act begins a legal process that should be resolved by our courts. Out of respect for that process, I will not comment on the legal arguments presented by either side. I remain confident that the Attorney General’s Office will vigorously defend the laws enacted by the Maryland General Assembly.”
