Baltimore, MD - June 24, 2026 - Unfortunately, many of the important elections our community supported did not go the way we had hoped. Senator Attar and Sheriff Cogen have officially lost their races, and Izzy Patoka is significantly behind his opponent, indicating a loss as well.

While this is deeply disappointing and represents a significant loss for our community, we are profoundly grateful for everything these public servants have done on behalf of our community over the years.

If there is one lesson to be learned from this election, it is the critical importance of voter participation. The turnout numbers suggest that too many people stayed home this time. We must learn from this experience and ensure that in future elections our community's voice is heard clearly and forcefully at the ballot box.

To Senator Attar, Sheriff Cogen, and Izzy Patoka: thank you for your years of dedication, service, and friendship to our community. Your efforts and commitment have made a lasting difference.
