Annapolis, Md.
 – Senate Minority Leader Bryan Simonaire is pleased to announce the appointment of Senator Mary Beth Carozza (Lower Shore) to the Governor’s Family Violence Council.

“It was my pleasure to recommend Senator Carozza for the Governor’s Family Violence Council.

It is comprised of a dedicated group of government officials, law enforcement professionals, legislators, community advocates, victims’ rights representatives, state and local government representatives and survivors.

"I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on this Governor's Council focusing on preventing and reducing family violence in Maryland.  By working with all the partners including family victim organizations, child advocacy groups, and law enforcement, we can advance policies and community initiatives that better protect more Marylanders from family violence," said Senator Mary Beth Carozza.
