Statement on Attorney General’s Decision Not to Seek Re-election

Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh today announced that he would not seek a third term. Maryland Center on Economic Policy President and CEO Benjamin Orr issued the following statement:

“The Maryland Center on Economic Policy joins the many other Marylanders today thanking Attorney General Frosh for his decades of leadership and public service. He has been a strong partner in fighting for legal protections and policies that advance a more just and equitable Maryland, like addressing punitive fines and fees that effectively criminalize poverty and creating a pathway to legal representation for people facing eviction cases. We look forward to our continued work together on these critical issues over the final year of Attorney General Frosh’s term.”
