Dear Friends,
It is my honor and privilege to represent you, your family, your friends, and your neighbors in the House of Delegates in Annapolis for District 39.
District 39 includes Montgomery Village, Washington Grove, and parts of Gaithersburg, Forest Oak, Flower Hill, Germantown, and Clarksburg.
I currently serve as the Parliamentarian of the House of Delegates, and the Chairman of the Health and Social Services Subcommittee on Appropriations.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason. Whether you have a concern or complaint about an issue facing your community, a roadblock in dealing with local or state government, an idea for possible legislation, or if you would like me to come to an event or meeting to discuss issues facing the district or State. I stand ready to work with you for a better District 39, Montgomery County, and Maryland.

On Monday afternoon, along with Delegate Kirill Reznik, we’re holding our second #CleanSlateClinic, where Marylanders who’ve committed or even been charged with less-serious crimes — such as littering, possessing drug paraphernalia or disturbing the peace — can start working to have their criminal records expunged.
These records can drive discrimination, unfairly preventing people from getting a job, housing or social services. That, in turn, can lead to disenfranchisement and higher recidivism rates.
But these people can’t have their records expunged — even if their cases ended up with a favorable disposition, such as a not-guilty finding — without the assistance of lawyers, paralegals or law students helping them navigate the complex process.
The #CleanSlateClinic is Monday, 4-6 p.m., at Montgomery College Germantown's Bioscience Education Center, Room 151, 20200 Observation Drive. At this free clinic, Marylanders seeking expungement of their records can link up with legal professionals who’ll help them. Dozens got help at our Silver Spring clinic in June.
Participants seeking legal assistance can register at http://bit.ly/UpcountyCleanSlate. More info: http://bit.ly/319bogB
More information on the expungement process is on The People’s Law Library of Maryland site, http://bit.ly/2IrnxZn, and at http://bit.ly/2L2OLrB.
Many thanks to Maryland Legal Aid for again providing the professionals for the clinic.

I am so proud that the entire Montgomery County Delegation (all 32 Senators and Delegates) have joined my effort to ask Transportation Secretary Pete Rahm to restore the Corridor Cities Transitway to the CTP.
We are willing to work with the Administration on funding options, but they cannot just abandon the best option we have for transit in the Upcounty.

Councilman Tom Hucker and I are hosting an expungement clinic in Upcounty Montgomery. Volunteer lawyers and others will be on hand to answer questions, help fill out paperwork, and help with expungement proceedings.

The D.C. Circuit has upheld the FCC repeal of net neutrality regulations. However, they did say that they have no authority to ban states from implementing their own open-Internet rules.
For the last two years, I have sponsored State-level net neutrality legislation, supported by our Attorney General Brian E. Frosh.
We are reconnecting now to see how we should proceed moving forward.

Appeals court upholds FCC’s cancelling of net neutrality rules
In a nearly 200-page opinion, judges on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals largely sided with the Federal Communications Commission and its Republican chairman, Ajit Pai. But the ruling sets up a likely battle with the states over Internet regulation by finding that the FCC overstepped its authority....

Maryland public schools were ranked #1 in the nation until you were elected, @LarryHogan. Now quit the games, do your job, and fully fund our schools so we can lead again. https://t.co/1Ep6IE3ZAC

Investing in public transit is a necessary part of combatting climate change & our region's traffic congestion. That's why the MoCo delegation is urging the continued planning of the Corridor Cities Transitway, which was dropped from Hogan's transportation plans. https://t.co/rcAraLKdrS

CCT is critical to our economic future and should be a shared responsibility between the State and Montgomery County. I'm proud to have advocated for the Great Seneca Science Corridor Master Plan a decade ago and proud to stand with my colleagues to call for moving CCT forward. https://t.co/MALT1KYPMH
