“We are pleased to support a Elly Tierney and strong team of candidates in Annapolis that are committed to cleaning- up our city’s waterways, conserving its forestland, and ensuring development is responsible, ” said Marcia Verploegen Lewis, who headed the committee that conducted the endorsement process. “Each understands that protecting the environment and our quality of life go hand-in-hand.”
