BALTIMORE, MD – Attorney General Anthony G. Brown today issued the following statement regarding Speaker of the House Adrienne A. Jones’ plans to step down from her leadership position.
“Speaker Adrienne Jones has been a trailblazer and steadfast partner throughout my career in public service. I had the privilege of serving alongside her in the House of Delegates, working with her during my time as Lieutenant Governor, and partnering with her as Attorney General. She made history as Maryland’s first woman and first African American Speaker, and under her leadership, Maryland has achieved transformational progress—from the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future to groundbreaking police accountability reforms to enshrining reproductive freedom in our Constitution. While she steps down from the speakership, I know Speaker Jones will continue serving the people of District 10 with the same dedication and integrity she has shown for nearly three decades, and I look forward to our continued partnership in the important work ahead.”
