Teresa Reilly,
Kathy Szeliga, and
Nic Kipke in pressing the Hogan administration to release data on the 2,000 inmates released at the beginning of the
COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 case outbreaks in nursing homes and other elder care facilities. In February 2021, Saab joined delegates Kathy Szeliga and
Dan Cox at a protest against abortion at the Maryland State House. In April 2021, Saab told
