In this episode, Rebecca talks with Lorenzo Bellamy of The Bellamy Genn Group about what to expect from the upcoming Maryland legislative session. They walk through major leadership changes in the General Assembly, including a new Speaker of the House, new committee structures, and shifting dynamics between the House, Senate, and governor’s office. Lorenzo breaks down key issues likely to dominate the session—budget pressures, housing, data centers, AI, energy, and public safety—and explains how these debates may affect communities, businesses, and news media. The conversation also covers how constituents can engage effectively with lawmakers and why this session, coming in an election year, carries especially high stakes.
