Political leaders across Maryland called Wednesday on Harford County Del. Mary Ann Lisanti to resign after her use of a racial slur at an Annapolis bar last month — including demands from Gov. Larry Hogan, the leader of her own party and the state’s influential Legislative Black Caucus.
Hogan, Maryland Democratic Party chairwoman Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, the 57-member Legislative Black Caucus and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks — about whose county Lisanti reportedly used the slur — added their powerful voices to the growing calls for Lisanti’s resignation. House Speaker Michael Busch, an Anne Arundel Democrat, has already stripped Lisanti, a Havre de Grace Democrat who apologized Tuesday for using the slur, of two leadership assignments.
“The language of racism and hate has no place in our public discourse. Any public official who engages in this reprehensible conduct should do the right thing and step down,” Hogan said in a tweet Wednesday afternoon.
