I ended Saturday by attending the Ganesh Festival in Ellicott City hosted by BaltimoreMarathimandal Such a beautiful culture and I even got a henna tattoo from one of the expert henna artists! So happy to celebrate on Saturday. #EllicottCity #HowardCounty #Stronger9B #CourtneyWatson #Maryland #9B #newyearnewnine

Fun afternoon on Saturday at the Korean Festival with district mates Natalie Ziegler, Democratic Candidate for 9A and Steve Bolen. Lots of folks from Ellicott City and Howard County, but also from PA, VA and MD. This event has grown so big! #HowardCounty #CourtneyWatson #newyearnewnine #Stronger9B #EllicottCity #Bolen #Ziegler #Hester #9A

Friends, Early voting is underway and Primary Election Day is next Tuesday, June 26, from 7 am-8 pm. This is an important vote for our community, and I am heartened by how many voters I have already seen at the polls. I hope to see you there, too. I very much appreciate your support of my candidacy these last few weeks and months and especially in the past few days. The work I have done the last two decades on behalf of our neighborhoods could not have been done without

From the NAACP breakfast at 9 am, to a steeplechase race fundraiser, to end the day with a cinco de mayo house party by a dear friend....another busy weekend in May on the campaign trail. Couldn’t be more fun! #Endorsement #newyearnewnine #HoCoMD #9B #EllicottCity #Stronger9B #HouseParty

Thank you for your endorsement Wendy J. Royalty! "As a woman who has spent my career advocating for women's rights, it is my pleasure to endorse Courtney on International Women's Day. I've never met someone who works harder than Courtney. She's a champion for all, and a special advocate for women. Before we became good friends I admired her work on the Howard County School Board and on the County Council. As a longtime women's advocate in Annapolis I can say without hesitatio

Voters are sick with the thought of another tragic school shooting as happened in Parkland, Florida. I attended a meeting of Marylanders Against Gun Violence in Columbia a couple of days after the incident, and there were three times more people there than expected. Perhaps now, buoyed by the bravery and courage of student survivors as they
