I testified on four on my bills today.

What prompted me to introduce this legislation provides insight into what motivates me as a legislator.

I’ve been working on landlord-tenant issues since I was first elected. House Bill 1487 would adopt reforms in Housing Court.

At the witness table, I sat next to representatives of both sides. That’s a first.

It happened because I helped put together a work group consisting of all of the players last summer.

What was Donald Trump’s best legislative district in Maryland’s June primary? What legislative district has the greatest number of adults whose formal education ended with high school?

Same answer to both questions: District 6 in Essex and Dundalk.

Apprenticeship programs would be targeted there under House Bill 1384.

I saw Bert Miller on Election Day. He votes at Cross Country Elementary School.

Bert teaches in the Baltimore County system and was having problems with an appeal he had filed. His problem has been solved, but House Bill 1095 would solve it for others.

I met Joe Jones when we reformed our welfare system 20 years ago.

Joe’s Center for Urban Families in West Baltimore brings together absent fathers and their families.

Like other legislation I’ve worked on with him, House Bill 1188 focuses on these couples.
