Brooke Lierman is a prominent Democrat in Maryland, but lately she has been going next door to campaign – in neighboring Pennsylvania.

Brooke tours a revitalization project in downtown Cumberland, showcasing her commitment to supporting local economic development and public-private partnerships.

Maryland ended the 2024 fiscal year with $479 million in uncommitted or unappropriated funds, according to an annual closeout report from Comptroller Brooke Lierman’s office — a higher figure than was projected.

Brooke visits Cumberland as part of her statewide “Take a Look with Brooke” initiative, highlighting economic development projects like the Baltimore Street Revitalization and emphasizing the importance of public-private partnerships for regional growth.

More than 700,000 Marylanders should be able to file their state and federal income tax returns online for free next year, saving residents hours of work and hundreds of dollars on tax software and prep services.

Maryland Comptroller, Brooke, announces that Marylanders will be able to file both federal and state tax returns online for free starting in 2025.
