Brian Frosh: Maryland’s
next Attorney General
Maryland’s Attorney
General Office is in dire need of an overhaul. Most recently this Office has
been managed to enhance the career of its current occupant with less emphasis
on those who matter most, the State’s six million residents. Political agendas
not sound judgment has been on display over the last 8 years. Maryland is ready
for a change. Brian Frosh, a consummate Maryland politician and lawyer, will
bring a fresh perspective to an Office that has seen better days. Frosh has a
stellar record of accomplishments as a current member of the Maryland Senate
and previously in the House of Delegates. In his 5th term in the State
Senate Brian Frosh is highly regarded for his commitment to an array of causes
which enhance the lives of those he serves. On important environmental issues,
such protecting the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, he has been an
outspoken critic of anyone or group who would endanger these areas. For his
efforts on the environment Frosh has received numerous awards including “Conservationist
of the Year” from the Sierra Club and “Public Official of the Year” by the
Audubon Society.
Senator Frosh has taken a
lead role to create legislation that protects children and victims of domestic
violence. He has been behind legislation to revise child support laws which
were sadly lagging behind the times. On education his efforts helped to make
tuition in colleges more affordable with an accentuation on increased quality.
As chairman of the Judicial Proceedings Committee he steered bills through a
political maze to protect personal data held by the Motor Vehicles Administration.
Frosh was instrumental in enhancing identity theft laws and creating new
mechanisms to track those who defraud Maryland health systems. His years in the House of Delegates and the
Maryland Senate display a record of exemplary service to the state. Support for
his candidacy is strong within this State and outside its borders. Former New
York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg supports Frosh for taking a major role in
helping enact into law the Firearm Safety Act. Many other Maryland luminaries
have given a thumb’s up to Frosh’s candidacy.
Maryland’s Attorney
General Office provides legal counsel to a variety of administrative entities
throughout the state. Legal opinions crucial to this State’s functions also
emanate from this office. Politicized by the current occupant the Attorney
General should always present a balanced approach to whatever task is before
his office. Having been touched by the civil sting of this office whose methodology
was nothing less than confrontational, contentious and misdirected a fresh face
is needed to rekindle trust this office once held. Brian Frosh is that person.
He is able to maneuver through the embattled political terrain in Maryland with
the knowledge to apply the laws equitably without destroying the faith in the
people he serves. Strong consideration should be given to this candidate for
Attorney General. As an independent I see Brian Frosh’s resume as many steps
above the recent holders of this office.
Maryland needs change and it is coming to the Attorney General’s Office
in the embodiment of Brian Frosh.
