In this episode of Burn the Talking Points, Maryland Democratic Party Executive Director Karen Darkes sits down with Delegate Jheanelle Wilkins to break down the 2026 legislative session: from the energy in Annapolis to the real wins delivered for Maryland communities.

The conversation centers on HB 115, landmark legislation that integrates voter registration into the reentry process, expanding access to the ballot, and ensuring more Marylanders have a voice in our democracy.

Together, they discuss what this moment means for restoring participation, reaching historically underrepresented voters, and how organizers can carry this work forward into November and beyond.
