2024 Maryland Actions to Improve Public Safety
This year Delegates Peña-Melnyk, Barnes and Lehman and I worked with our colleagues to:
· boost accountability, supervision, and rehabilitation for juveniles convicted of crimes involving guns and cars
· strengthen gun safety laws by holding bad actors in the firearm industry accountable when their misconduct harms Marylanders
· increase investment in public safety apprenticeships to fill police and correctional vacancies.

Your District 21 leaders protected $22 million, in the state budget, to fix potholes and improve Prince George’s roads, raised speeding fines in road work zones, and passed legislation to crack down on street racing, and added $150 million to block Metro rail and bus cutbacks.
