Going to Annapolis Next Week - First Time

winch · Feb 19, 2019

Hey Kids
I’m gonna testify Monday and maybe Wednesday. I plan to park at the stadium and catch a shuttle. What time should I arrive and what time will I get out of there? If it goes late will the shuttle still be running? Probably going business casual.

Can you read your testimony or at least have notes?

Any other tips??

Monday? Get there as early as possible. I expect that anyone arriving after 0830 won't be able to testify.

Monday hearing in the House starts at 10. Need to register by 9. Park at the stadium ($5), take the shuttle ($2) or walk.

Have a list of the bills on which you want to testify. Registration is by wall mounted screen.

Have some notes on what you want to say. Use statistics or make it very personal. Try not to read it. Listen to a few folks. It's pretty easy.

In previous years, Del Vallario would just invite anyone who was for, then against. We are not sure how the new leadership will work; free form or by name.

Assumption is that the hearing will conclude by 8 so they can make the evening session. But with them not hearing what we want to say, who knows?

See you there.

You can absolutely read from notes, just don't read your testimony verbatum. My biggest piece of advise would be to pay attention to what is being said by everyone ahead of you from both sides and take notes. Use those notes to refine your testimony. Make it personal. make it about you and your family.

The 2nd best thing I can tell you is don't be afraid to walk up to any of us and ask questions.

See you on the 25th.

I do note that new chair not a sponsor or cosponsor on any bad firearms bills. Maybe that's a good sign.

I should be there on the 25th. Can't make the 27th.

Very rarely if ever has the Chair of Judiciary been a sponsor of any of the bills appearing in front of his committee. With that said, do not be fooled, Delegate Clipinger is much further to the left than Chairman Vallario ever was.
