As Comptroller, she will advocate for Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) investments and policies that eliminate racial disparities and that create a more just economy. She will use meaningful metrics like access to jobs, commute times, community air pollution levels, and community demographics  to evaluate and recommend anti-racist  transportation policies. Read more about Brooke’s plans to promote racial equity.
