Del. Shaneka Henson, a Democrat from the greater Annapolis area, has announced her candidacy for the soon-to-be vacant District 30 seat in the Maryland Senate. Henson, known for her advocacy on education and criminal justice reform, is throwing her hat in the ring to be considered for the position.
Henson’s decision to run for the Senate seat comes after the current Senator announced their resignation, creating an opportunity for a new representative to step in. With her experience serving in the House of Delegates, Henson believes she is well-equipped to take on the responsibilities of a Senator and continue to serve her constituents in a higher capacity.
Throughout her time in office, Henson has been a vocal advocate for education reform, criminal justice reform, and other social justice issues. She has worked to improve the quality of education in Maryland and address systemic inequalities within the criminal justice system. Henson’s dedication to these issues has earned her support from community members and fellow legislators alike.
If elected to the Maryland Senate, Henson plans to continue her work on these important issues and advocate for policies that benefit all Maryland residents. She hopes to bring a fresh perspective to the Senate and work towards creating a more equitable and just society for all.
Henson’s candidacy is sure to draw attention from voters in District 30 and beyond as she seeks to secure the Senate seat in the upcoming election. Stay tuned for updates on Henson’s campaign and her vision for the future of Maryland.
