I'm an everything Baltimore fan.

We want to shine a light on this great city of Baltimore. I can tell you, I love this city.

Baltimore has proven themselves on the football field. We can't take that away.

Baltimore residents deserve a commitment from leaders to deliver meaningful changes and the possibility of a better future, and so does every Marylander who loves our great state.

It's hard for me to view Baltimore outside the context of what Baltimore has always been in my mind: a violent place.

Some people see Baltimore as a hopeless place. Some have even made a lot of money on it.

People are proud to be from Baltimore. In any industry you work in, you need support to survive. And this city has that support for anyone who was born here or lived here. And it also gives you the feeling, 'Oh, I stand for this place. And if I do something I'm not proud of, I might not make my town proud.' And I want to make Baltimore proud.

Some people might look at Baltimore, from afar, and see nothing but hopelessness. I see, in Baltimore, tremendously good and compassionate people, and a tremendous opportunity to save a lot a lives.

Anyone can love a perfect place. Loving Baltimore takes some resilience.

I think Baltimore suffers from nostalgia and it keeps us from being honest in talking about what really happened here. A place doesn't have to be perfect to be beloved, and I love this city and I love it better for seeing its flaws.
