Jones, who has long criticized Hogan’s positions on education and public safety, says Maryland needs someone who will partner with the General Assembly to “further protect a woman’s right to her own health care … make sure every child has a world class teacher, a safe classroom and a path toward a family supporting job, … tackle crime with more than just slogans and promises of more jail time.”
