Dear Friend, 

Today begins the 442nd Legislative Session of the Maryland General Assembly, and my third session representing you in Annapolis.  This session will be like no other due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but I expect it to be just as busy and productive as ever.

Ways & Means Appointment

I have been appointed by Madam Speaker Jones to the highly regarded Ways & Means Committee, and I thank Madam Speaker for this significant appointment.  The Ways & Means Committee focuses on Education, Revenues, Election Law and Racing & Gaming.  As a representative of District 41, home of the Preakness, this position is truly apropos. I look forward to focusing on these very important issues that affect every Marylander this session. 

Lead Poisoning Prevention Commission

Madam Speaker has also appointed me to represent the Maryland House of Delegates in the Maryland Department of the Environment Lead Poisoning Prevention Commission. Many, many children are affected every day by this poison and suffer the rest of their lives due to being contaminated.  It is our duty to ensure our children do not continue to be affected by this poisoning, and I look forward to working on this commission to ensure the safety of us all.

COVID-19 Vaccinations

Just yesterday we learned that two Marylanders have been infected with the UK COVID-19 Variant.  While we are all patiently waiting to be administered the COVID-19 Vaccination, this exacerbates all our concerns. The rollout of the vaccination has been a lot slower than many of us would like to see, particularly in Baltimore City, and I am working with the local and State Health Departments to ensure we are all vaccinated in a timely fashion. 

For Baltimore City residents, please check this site frequently for vaccination updates.

Thank you

I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to thank you very much for your continued support.  Many of you generously supported me in the most recent campaign finance deadline and I thank you very, very much.  Without all your continued support, I would not be in this position representing you in Annapolis and working for all my constituents.

Thank you for entrusting me to represent you. Stay safe and healthy.

 
Sincerely,                                        

Delegate Dalya Attar
