On Monday, Former Del. Brooke Lierman of Baltimore City made history as Maryland’s 34th comptroller and the first woman ever elected to the position.
During the swearing in ceremony, Lierman said she will focus on ensuring the comptroller’s functions are fair and equitable.
“We all do better when we ensure…Black women can get loans to start their businesses at the same rate as their white male counterparts,” she said. “When we build communities that are welcoming to our immigrant brothers and sisters, we all do better. Doing better is possible. When we have an ally and an advocate in our state government.”
