April 8th marked the final day of the annual 90-day legislative session of the Maryland General
Assembly. It’s an honor for all four of us - Senator Jeff Waldstreicher and Delegates Al Carr,
Emily Shetty, and Jared Solomon – to represent you in the Maryland General Assembly. With
continued tumult in Washington, we worked hard in Annapolis this session to deliver progressive
results with competence and civility.
Personal Priorities
Together, we are fighting for progressive, statewide priorities. Individually, we have also each
taken on legislation that can have a major impact on our constituents. We are proud to share
those with you, as well.
Senator Jeff Waldstreicher. Senator Waldstreicher serves on
the Judicial Proceedings Committee. He spent much of the
session working on legislation to protect vulnerable
populations, including immigrants, crime victims, pedestrians,
and veterans:
✔ Senator Waldstreicher passed SB 777: Property Tax
Exemption for Dwelling House Owned by Disabled Active
Duty Service Member. Brought to him by a constituent who
was severely injured in the line of duty, this bill closes the
loophole that barred these heroes from accessing property tax
exemptions.
✔ He also passed SB 460: Pedestrian Safety Fund Act of
2019, which creates a dedicated fund for pedestrian safety
improvements.
In an unprecedented time, we were buoyed by the thousands of emails, letters, phone calls, and
office visits we received from you throughout the last 90 days. We were energized by the rallies
you attended in Washington, Annapolis, and across Montgomery County. We were strengthened
by your advice and counsel. Thank you.
