The Capital Budget

3/31/2015

 
Picture
Last week, just before the cross-over deadline for House bills to be guaranteed a hearing in the Senate, the House passed my legislation, HB 300.  The legislation would require the Maryland Department of Transportation and WMATA/Metro to study Metro-ridership as it specifically relates to Maryland.  This information will help us as we make Metro-related policy and funding decisions going forward and will build the constituency for this important transportation system in the state.  The bill will be heard soon in the Senate Finance Committee.

Standing Up on the Floor

3/24/2015

 
Picture
There have been lots of exciting moments during my first session as a Delegate, but a big one came last week when my committee and subcommittee chairs let me defend a bill on the House floor.  The legislation, sponsored by Delegate Karen Young from Frederick County, related to student data privacy.  The bill passed out of the Appropriations Committee on a bipartisan basis and I had the honor of speaking for the Committee on the floor.  I explained the bill and answered questions from three members of the minority party—including the Minority Leader—about the bill.  The bill ultimately passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority.

Passing Legislation

3/11/2015

 
The big news this past week is all about politics.  Senator Barbara Mikulski has decided not to seek reelection after five terms in the Senate.  The news that several of Maryland's Members of Congress may run for the seat has many of my colleagues—and a long list of others from outside the legislature—considering Congressional campaigns.  Interestingly, state legislators are not on the ballot in 2016 and do not need to give up their current seats to run (but would have to resign if they win).  I am excited to be supporting Chris Van Hollen for the U.S. Senate.  Congressman Van Hollen has political savvy, policy smarts, and has also stayed connected to the district he serves.  I think those are skills we need in the U.S. Senate.
