The resignation is official. I am drained from the months of fighting this battle but the outcome speaks for itself. Keep watching the legislature to ensure this kind of language never finds a home there again.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
Prince George’s County is one of the wealthiest and most highly educated majority-African American jurisdictions in the nation; however, its residents, who by the way, pay the highest rates of MD income and property taxes, are continually denied the same level of services extended to more diversified counties, and are continually disrespected by ignorant and small-minded people who uphold the racist ideals of their ancestors and perpetuate stereotypes about black people in an effort to manipulate the black narrative in this country. Prince George's County is often regarded as inferior although it is comprised of excellence; the negative connotation associated with being a person of color in this society has resulted in the inaccurate classification of and neglect of the county itself, and of its residents, simply because it is majority African American.
Mary Ann Lisante, MD delegate for Harford County, is the latest public official to "accidentally" express her true feelings about African Americans (under the guise of cigar smoke and liquor) by targeting the "n----s" of Prince George's County, who by the way, will not be tolerating this ignorance. Lisante told another white lawmaker that when he campaigned in Prince George’s on behalf of a candidate last fall, he was door-knocking in a “n----- district.” This woman is unfit to hold public office and should not be trusted to represent anyone, especially the people of Maryland and Harford County. Her recent admission confirms she cannot be trusted to do her job, which is to work in the best interests of ALL races and classes of constituents in her jurisdiction.
While Lisante has been stripped of her leadership status, she is still gainfully employed and being paid by MD taxpayers, which include African American residents of Prince George's County. What a shame that none of the MD lawmakers who witnessed her comment publicly criticized her or made a formal complaint to House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Anne Arundel) about her ignorant and racist remark. It was members of the Legislative Black Caucus who heard about the incident and urged elected MD leaders to take action. We too must take action and organize; there is power in numbers and in the black dollar--it is time our contributions to this country are recognized and rewarded!!
We, the undersigned, urge MD's Black Legislative Caucus, Gov. Larry Hogan and Prince George's County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks, to terminate or impeach MD Del. Mary Ann Lisante from her position of public office; she does not deserve to hold the seat or represent the interests of any person living in Maryland or Harford County.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

Reaching this point has been an exhausting uphill climb that often felt like shouting into the wind. I am drained by how long this fight has taken but seeing this level of momentum proves we are finally being taken seriously.

As a one of the Black constituents who make up 1/3 of her constituency, I don't trust her to represent us. What she said about the Black residents in PG was racist and deplorable. I can only imagine what she thinks about those of us in her own district. Forget resignation, I want her expelled.
Her words are based on “muscle memory “. These words don’t simply slip out without a thought. If you are a swearer, you swear without a second thought. This reflects her mindset and was fortunate that it was revealed to us the constituents and voters within the Great County of Prince George’s of the Great state of Maryland.
Her racist, prejudicial are so ingrained in her that there's no way she can objectively support initiatives that may be beneficial to minorities. She needs to go! Fake apologies are meaningless, and I for one am tired of them!
Enough is enough her behavior will not be tolerated, her position need to be terminated immediately. The lack of respect was greatly shown on her behave towards the African America residents of Prince George's County.
We pay taxes and contribute to the society both in Prince George's County and in the state of Maryland. As such the state of Maryland should protect all residents from insults from people in elected positions.
Please terminate
I grew up in Port Tobacco, Maryland. This is a disgrace to public office. I feel as though everyone that is a racist should see the movie, " The Best of Enemies " that just started at the Movie Houses through the US.

Only a person who regularly uses the N word would accidentally say it in public. A person who regularly uses the N word is a racist and has no place serving the people of Prince George's County.
