MD Elections 2014

TopShelf · Mar 7, 2014

MD Elections 2014 - Research Project

The idea here is to get a list of the legislators along with what we know about their votes and positions on issues. This is a work in progress, and your help is requested.

Where to start?

1. Find your Legislative voting district
2. Scroll down to your district in post 1, 2, 4 (post key and State level races - AG, Gov). There you will find information about the legislator.

General Information:

Candidates 2014
NRA-PVF ratings for 2014 - https://www.nrapvf.org/grades/archive/2014/Maryland
NRA's PVF ratings from 2010
Summary information on who is running for what, including some financial details
Project Vote Smart - information on Officials, including votes.
AGC ratings of MD legislators - 2014 (in a pdf file)
To save space in the post (there is a size limit), bills are abbreviated. Yea and Nay votes are also consolidated into 1 line each. See footnote in post 4 for the key and other notes.
Who do the "Maryland State Education Association" support? Probably good to know who you don't want to vote for. http://mdappleballot.com/

Networking / Events

http://www.mdgop.org/calendar/

TO-DO:

Analysis of 2014 Election results
Identify fundraising events
Identify FSA amendment votes that conflict with a legislators final vote. E.G. - look for votes against 2A-friendly amendments by legislators who ultimately voted Nay on the passage of the bill.
Look at threads for districts and link in info

Jennie Forehand (D) - not running for reelection
She was 1 of 2 Democratic candidates in 2010, winning the Primary Election by just ~350 votes. She easily won the General Election. Speculation is that she is not running for reelection, at least in part, because she is anti-gun rights in an election district race that will be close.

44
Analysis: In 2010 General Election, Jones-Rodwell received 5,727 votes and the opposing (R) candidate received 289 votes. As such, whoever wins the Primary Election will likely win the General Election. Register as a Democrat so that you can vote in the Primary. Since Nathan-Pulliam was not a cosponsor of FSA-H, this is probably the better choice between the 2 Anti-2A (D) candidates?

Footnotes and key:

FSA = Firearm Safety Act of 2013 (cross-filed with HB0294). AKA SB281, though that is technically not correct. Senate Votes, House Votes, list of all amendments, votes, etc.

Amendments:

by Kipke - looks to be about requiring MSP to offer and do voter registration as part of the HQL application or renewal process - the amendment: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2013RS/amds/bil_0001/SB0281_46322901.pdf, the vote: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/webmga/f...b=subject3&id=sb0281,h-0853&stab=02&ys=2013RS

by Dwyer - looks to to be about alter the list of guns banned by name - the amendment: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2013RS/amds/bil_0001/sb0281_92382101.pdf, the vote: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/webmga/f...b=subject3&id=sb0281,h-0855&stab=02&ys=2013RS

by Impalaria - looks to be about requiring the court to notify the defendant about "...CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO FIREARM POSSESSION OF CONSENTING TO AND RECEIVING A STAY OF ENTRY OF JUDGMENT...". This was probably about PBJ and gun possession - the amendment: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2013RS/amds/bil_0001/sb0281_61392801.pdf, the vote (just 36 "Yea" votes!!): http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/webmga/f...b=subject3&id=sb0281,h-0864&stab=02&ys=2013RS
FSA-H = Firearm Safety Act of 2013 (cross-filed with SB281). AKA HB294, though that is technically not correct.
MJD = "Criminal Law - Possession of Marijuana - Civil Offense". AKA - Marijuana decriminalization (SB364 (2014))
BB = Fairness for All Marylanders Act of 2014 (AKA "Bathroom Bill") - SB212 (2014). Discussion. This bill, in short, is about gender identification's role with regards to who is allowed to use which restroom.
RT = Stormwater Management - Watershed Protection and Restoration Program [of 2012]. AKA rain tax. Maryland Reporter Story - http://marylandreporter.com/2012/04/10/general-assembly-approves-stormwater-fee-for-nine-counties/
TR = "Public Institutions of Higher Education - Tuition Rates - Exemptions". Amongst other things, grants In-State tuition for undocumented immigrants. SB167 of 2011.
GT = Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act of 2013". AKA Gas tax. HB 1515 of 2013.
DP = "Death Penalty Repeal...". SB276 of 2013.
MW = Maryland Minimum Wage Act of 2014". HB295 of 2014.
ST = "Transportation and State Investment Act". Amongst other things, increased the state sales tax rate from 5% to 6%. 2007 Special Session 1. http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/webmga/frmMain.aspx?tab=subject3&ys=2007s1/billfile/hb0005.htm . http://voices.washingtonpost.com/annapolis/2007/11/delegate_roll_call_on_tax_bill.html .
GG = greenhouse gas reduction http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/webmga/frmMain.aspx?ys=2009rs/votes/house/1232.htm
SJPC = Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee votes on SB281 (a "FWA" vote helped the bill to get out to the floor for a vote)
HJC = House Judiciary Committee pdf of votes on SB281 (a "FWA" vote helped the bill to get out to the floor for a vote)
HGOC = House Health and Government Operations Committee pdf of votes on SB281
DINO = Democrat In Name Only. Register as a Democrat so that you can vote for a competing Democrat candidate in the Primary Election. For more info: http://www.freestatedinos.com/. Even if DINO does not apply for your district race, you can still do it to vote for (D) candidates in Statewide races (AG, Governor, Congress)
FSA Limit debate to 2 hours (aka cloture), which helped to blocks a filibuster (and ultimately allow the bill to become law). Senate votes
FWA = Favorable with Amendment. This vote/status allows the bill to move out of committee

The bill numbering system is not unique across multiple legislative sessions. E.G. - SB281 was FSA in 2013, and is some other proposed legislation this session.

(I) = Incumbent
(D) = Democrat
(R) = Republican
AG = Attorney General

Good question. I looked there before starting this thread, and the site does not look current.

Also, there is an NRA list of incumbent ratings somewhere. I have not yet found that list

I propose we have a meetup to get organized on this. In person and/or virtual to get as many folks in the conversation that are interested in getting involved.

Right now, it looks like there's about 10 different directions going on and too many balls off the field.

What do you all think? Maybe in 2 weeks?

Interesting fun fact.... Simmons is running for the Senate. He has a democrat opponent.

So if he loses the primary by chance, he is gone. Wouldn't that be a shame?

ShallNotInfringe · Mar 8, 2014

Another fun fact: Conaway has 9 democrat opponents in his district.

If he lost in the primary, wouldn't that be a shame?

ShallNotInfringe · Mar 8, 2014

Vallario has 5 democrat opponents in his district... Well, you know the rest.

Dumais has 4 democrat opponents in her district...

Might be a lot more fun to just get a different democrat in actually.

Can you imagine going to their campaign events and talking about that vote reversal last year...? On not allowing criminals to reduce their time served of it was with a gun? Wonder how the folks down there in MoCo would take to that?

Yessiree.

Voted in favor of it? That's an understatement. He has has own signature accomplishment of slipping in the PBJ amendment clause, which we fondly refer to as "The Simmons Amendment". There's an entire thread here on that gem.

And admitting on tape to confiscation being the end game.

And this year working on more ways to confiscate guns.

I really like his opponents in that race.
