The Year Ahead

What's next? Politics never ends. This just in:

               2026 Municipal Elections

(Note: Dates are subject to change. Information is current as of 2/6/2026.)

The MD legislature began January 14, 2026. Our state legislators will be cosidering legislation to keep Maryland running, especially given a large budget deficit, to complete the process by April 13, 2026, if there is no extension of the session. You can follow the action on the Maryland govenrment website: Home Page. It can be a confusing and frustrating site to navigate. Please start with the excellent videos about how to use it at: https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Information/VideoTutorials.For a more general introduction, see https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Information/Text/about_mga.

The LWV of Maryland handles organizing and training for supporting bills in the session. If you are interested, please go to the website at https://www.lwvmd.org/advocate_manual for more information.

We are gearing up for this year's mid-term elections. More about that after our Board meeting Tusday, February, 16 at the C. Burr Artz Library at 5:00 p.m.Members are welcome to attend the Board meeting in person or by Zoom.  For details see below.
