Please join me for a breakfast event to celebrate summer and support my campaign for re-election in 2026.

I am excited to be joined by special guests:

• Speaker Adrienne Jones
• Environment and Transportation Committee Chair Marc Korman

During the 2025 session, I had three bills passed and signed by Governor Moore:

• Requiring water bottle filling stations in new construction and renovations where water fountains are already required. This will help reduce single-use plastic bottles and increase the availability of fresh water.
• Protecting wildlife and drivers from collisions by planning for wildlife-highway crossings, and ensuring land use planning considers habitat connectivity for endangered species.
• Requiring the Commission on Behavioral Health Care Treatment and Access to establish a workgroup on the improvement of health, social, and economic outcomes related to substance use.

I am running for re-election in 2026 where I will continue to work on protecting healthy air, clean water, and Maryland's abundant natural resources, from our forests to the Chesapeake Bay, mitigating climate change, holding polluters accountable, advancing healthcare for all, including mental health and substance use treatment and harm reduction, revitalizing District 44 and investing in our communities, and so much more. Please join me in this fight by purchasing a ticket to enjoy breakfast with me on July 16..

I don't solicit or accept donations from corporate special interests, including fossil fuel companies and the health insurance industry, so I depend on the support of regular folks like you.

If you prefer to purchase tickets by check, please send check made out to Friends of Sheila Ruth to:
