Help Me Continue My Work

This session I sponsored bills to:

  • Protect pollinator habitats along state highways (passed!)
  • Reduce plastic waste
  • Ban PFAS in pesticides
  • Help small businesses deal with climate change
  • Protect animals and humans by creating wildlife crossings to reduce auto collisions with animals on the highways
  • Protect children from being arrested for behavior that should be handled with regular school discipline
  • Create a commission to study state-based universal healthcare in Maryland
  • Create a task force to study causes and solutions of the increase in aggressive & reckless driving (enacted by MVA without needing to pass the bill!)
  • and more!


There's so much more to do. If you are happy with my work and would like to keep me in Annapolis, please contribute.


I don't take contributions from the fossil fuel industry, or any corporations or corporate PACs, so I depend on contributions from regular people like you.


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