DISTRICT 44BALTIMORE CITY DELEGATIONSENATORSHIRLEY NATHAN PULLIAMDistrict 44Baltimore CityGRADEAShirley Nathan Pulliam is a Senator for the 44th District that touches parts of Baltimore City and County. Whileshe doesn’t sit on a committee that allows her to directly speak to many of the criminal and juvenile justiceissues we prioritize, Senator Nathan Pulliam’s voting record on bail, education, and police reform demonstrateher interest and alignment with the indicators of racial justice we’ve articulated in this report.A seasoned legislator and forceful policy advocate, Senator Nathan Pulliam passed eight laws in the 2017legislative session, including bills that focused on addressing minority disparities in public health despitea disappointing vote to weaken paid sick leave. Further proving her independence from party mandates,Senator Nathan-Pulliam was a steadfast opponent of the draconian SB122 crime bill package in the 2018legislative session. With tangible legislation and symbolic efforts like the naming of the Henrietta LacksHighway, Senator Shirley Nathan-Pulliam votes well on the LBS standards for racial justice and proves herselfan example for effective policy-making in service to the Black community. Senator Nathan-Pulliam is almostguaranteed to run for Senate re-election in the 44th District in 2018.182018 LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD
BALTIMORE CITY DELEGATIONDISTRICT 44ADELEGATEKEITH HAYNESDistrict 44ABaltimore CityGRADEB-Keith Haynes represents District 44A, Baltimore City, where he has served as a Delegate since 2002. DelegateHaynes is the Assistant Majority Leader and sits on the Public Safety Subcommittee of Appropriations.Throughout his legislative career, Delegate Haynes has taken some strong stances against Republicanleadership on issues of criminal justice, educational reform, and immigration reform.However, Delegate Haynes has proved himself a less than effective advocate for his bills, appearingunderprepared and often unable to successfully defend his sponsored legislation. In one example, aftersupporting legislation to make Maryland a sanctuary state, Delegate Haynes struggled to articulate the valueand strength of the bill when bullied by a Fox News anchor. In another blunder, Delegate Haynes led a strangepolitical effort to change the title of the CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools to Superintendent. His widelyshared testimony shows him struggling to explain that he has nothing against “African American females.”With limited capacity to drive political discourse for bills that match Democratic Party priorities, our analysisdescribes Delegate Haynes as an advocate who will not forcefully challenge the Democratic Party establishmentbut can be a moderately reliable vote on certain issues.LEADERS OF A BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE 19
