I started my teaching career at @hcpss_wlhs — a place packed with really awesome educators— and @eric.ebersole.for.maryland was one of them!

LOOK at us now! Delegate Ebersole is moving mountains in Annapolis! 

It was so cool to run into my friend while I’m here with @momsdemand ❤️♥️ 

Want to get involved? YOU NEED TO. 

Please text FED UP to 644-33 to find an event near you and make your voice heard!
