Answering Questions From The Maryland Green Party Assembly

Answering Questions From The Maryland Green Party Assembly

This year the Maryland Green Party hosted it's 25th Annual Assembly. You can see the speech I gave proclaiming "Ralph was Right."

I also facilitated a panel of Green Party candidates for the 2026 election season. After the panel several candidates asked to hear my take on the questions I asked them.

I put together this video of my answers to the questions I asked (and some I did not ask)

Future Plans?

I like the format for this video and I think it is good practice to answer questions and see them on video so I am thinking about making this a regular thing.

It would be some combination of questions I generate, questions from the public, and questions other candidates and party members share.

More on this later, but for now check out this video and let me know what you think!
