Maryland Democratic Party, black caucus call for Del. Mary Ann Lisanti to resign for using the n-word to describe a Prince George’s County legislative district
By Ovetta Wiggins Ovetta Wiggins Local reporter covering Maryland state politics Email Bio Follow February 27 at 1:56 PM A groundswell of Maryland elected officials, including the state’s black legislative caucus, Gov. Larry Hogan and Prince George’s County executive Angela Alsobrooks , called Wednesday for the resignation of Del. Mary Ann Lisanti, the Harford County Democrat who used the n-word in a conversation with colleagues to describe a Prince George’s County legislative district.
On Monday night, the caucus executive committee asked Lisanti to meet with them and discuss the incident behind closed doors. After The Washington Post reported that the meeting was to take place, Busch issued a statement expressing disappointment in Lisanti’s conduct and urging her to apologize and “face the consequences of her behavior.” Lisanti apologized to the caucus executive committee but said she did not recall making the remark.
