2018 Legislative Report Card

BALTIMORE CITY DELEGATION
DISTRICT 41
DELEGATE
SAMUEL ROSENBERG
District 41
Baltimore City
GRADE
C
Samuel Rosenberg is a long-time State Delegate who represents the 41st District. He is a liberal Democrat that
is beholden to the Democratic Party leadership in Annapolis. While Delegate Rosenberg has advocated on
important issues like lead paint poisoning and slot revenue to the Park Heights area, his advocacy falls short
of our standard for racial justice.
Delegate Rosenberg has been weak on police reform; silent on bail reform; and quiet on tough on crime
legislation. He is keenly aware of the fact that although he represents a district that demographically is very
diverse, his district is more than 60% Black. His allegiance to the Democratic Party leadership makes him an
ineffective advocate for racial justice.
DELEGATE
ANGELA GIBSON
District 41
Baltimore City
GRADE
C
Delegate Angela Gibson is a first year representative who was appointed in 41st district in Baltimore City
in 2017. Gibson sits on the Judiciary Committee, which means she often reviews the criminal justice reform
measure that we standardize as indicators of racial justice in this report.
In her first session, Delegate Gibson has voted to support Baltimore’s Safe Streets Initiative, efforts to support
HBCU’s, juvenile justice reform, usually within the proposed legislation of her Baltimore City mates. A former
Baltimore City Hall insider, she worked in federal affairs, but is not associated with any policy issues or
agendas. In her early career, Gibson has very little mark of her ideas, opinions, or legislative impact on the
record. With little leadership, forcefulness, or experience, Gibson has not yet proved effective as a legislative
advocate for racial justice or the Black community.
