meanwhile this is the junk i’m getting from bill ferguson 😭

An absolutely useless mailer that contains zero useful information

BILL
FERGUSON
* SENATE PRESIDENT*
Being a 22-year-old teacher in a Baltimore City classroom without even a doorknob gave me two life-changing experiences...
...Understanding why this city is worth showing up for every single day.

We literally don’t rely on facts anymore i am so tired

🦀 maryland primaries are june 23rd!!! 🦀 captain bobby lapin (@makegoodchange.bsky.social) is running for state senate and supported redisitricting!! 💛

Choices
FERGUSON
VS
CHOSE CORPORATIONS
Bill Ferguson accepted more than one million dollars from business and special interest groups, and more than $100,000 in large individual donations from developers, investment bankers, and AIPAC leadership.
LaPIN
CHOOSES PEOPLE
Corporate money does not belong in politics. Bobby LaPin will never take a penny from corporate PACs, developers, or AIPAC. This campaign is driven entirely by small contributions from regular people like you.
X CHOSE BGE
As Senate President, Bill Ferguson accepted more than $140,000 in donations from energy companies while voting to guarantee profits to BE and authorize fossil fuels for data centers, all at the expense of ordinary working-people.
CHOOSES RATEPAYERS
BGE rate hikes hurt working people while making the rich even richer.
Bobby will end multi-year rate hikes and stop fossil fuel expansion. He will make data centers pay their fair share to help invest in affordable public-owned power generation and battery storage.
X CHOSE ICE - TWICE!
Ferguson split up hundreds of Maryland families by TWICE blocking legislation that would have ended Maryland Law Enforcement cooperation with ICE. He was labeled The Most Hated Democrat in America" by The Bulwark after
- blocking an open debate and public vote on a redistricting plan to stop Trump's steal of the 2026 elections.
CHOOSES FAMILIES
Bobby is an Army veteran and former government teacher in Baltimore. He has always stood up for democracy. Only after Bobby entered this race did Ferguson flip E his stance on ICE. Bobby didn't need a senate campaign to know helping ICE is wrong. In the face of rising authoritarianism, we need leaders with courage and a deep sense of duty.
* CHOSE ESTABLISHMENT
While at the helm of a $2.7 billion state deficit, Bill Ferguson has threatened cuts to public schools and transit projects, all while protecting corporate loopholes. He even blocked a plan that would have allowed Baltimore to keep its own l…

i spotted this display on my walk to breakfast, and i’m pleased to say that cardboard sign is correct (as usual). #baltimore #localpolitics

A sign for bill Ferguson for re-election in baltimore for the 46th district and is running against Bobby lapin. Someone put a very true sign next to it in cardboard that reads

“This guy takes donations from BGE and corporate donations. He is only fighting for his bank account.”
