1/ Sometimes politics is better face-to-face. I found out that a subcommittee may be gutting my bill. Before the pandemic, I would have walked the House floor. I would speak to the ten subcommittee members. I wouldn’t call them. I’d go over to their desks.
1/ My GOP colleagues made the following FALSE assertions during floor debate this past weekend. "Election fraud is a real problem in Maryland." "The claims regarding climate warming have been disproved." "Maryland law imposes no limits on when abortions can be performed."
2/ My Voters Rights Protection Act (House Bill 57) would authorize the Board of Elections to establish an extra polling place in a specific area if the Board determines that the absence of a polling place is discriminatory on the basis of race, color, religion, or disability.
1/ Over 600 students have interned at nearly 150 orgs with support from the MD's Technology Internship Program (MTIP) since 2018. After reading UMBC Pres. Freeman Hrabowski’s op-ed about a similar program in MA, I introduced the bill creating the program. Gov Hogan funded it.
1/ IMPEACHMENT THREAD=G=G=G=G=G President Trump should be impeached, and I applaud the growing bipartisan effort to hold him accountable in the Congress. Unfortunately, some Republicans like Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy worry impeachment will only divide our country more ...
A great day first day of the legislative session. Routine but also profound; a prayer to start the session and some new terminology; Zoom, Virtual hearing, etc.
"Sandy Rosenberg will host his usual pre-Preakness brunch at home then walk over to the track, this year with 'an extra bounce" in his step. Can confirm! https://t.co/DQ0BAFvopb
2/ What am I doing instead? Phone calls and emails – from me and advocates. And perhaps a chance encounter – socially distanced. It's just not the same.
1/ Tomorrow I will argue for the rights of low-income tenants to have a lawyer representing them in eviction hearings at no cost to them. This book “Gideon’s Trumpet” is what prompted me to introduce the bill.
