 Dear Friends & Neighbors,
A new chapter unfolds in Maryland with the start of the 2026 legislative session. We have a new Speaker of the House Joseline Peña-Melnyk, and I'm pleased to announce she's asked me to serve as Majority Leader!
Below I discuss some of the challenges we'll be tackling, including Maryland residents facing rising prices, an assault on our state's economy under the most anti-business White House in the modern-era, and a trampling of human rights and American norms.
We've got our work cut out for us, but I'm energized to bring fresh ideas & tactics to defend Maryland's residents & economy.
Happy new year & thanks as always for being engaged in our community!
 Majority Leader David Moon

"Digital Unmasking" to Identify Violent ICE Agents - The Washington Post highlighted legislation I'm introducing to preserve the ability for victims of violent ICE misconduct to seek justice in court against anonymous agents. My bill would have the state use widely available police technology to help identify suspects after serious incidents (think license plate scans, cell phone pings, location data, facial recogition, etc):
WASHINGTON POST: "Maryland House Majority Leader David Moon has proposed a 'digital unmasking' law to identify these agents another way: requiring Maryland law enforcement to proactively investigate and collect identifying information...."
"'I’ve wondered if something bad happens, will there be any for accountability for people?' Moon said. 'This is a way to reassure the public that Maryland is doing something to keep the avenues open for the rule of law and redress.'" "The digital profiles of masked ICE agents would be not be public, but in a state law enforcement database that could be used to identify a federal agent 'credibly accused' of criminal violence or unconstitutional acts, he said...."
Other Bill Summaries Coming Soon - Stay tuned for a full roster of bills I'm introducing in my next email newsletter. There will be items on consumer protection, housing, school construction & more!
