BMORENews Founder Doni Glover reports from Annapolis as the District 10 delegate race shifts and Northwest Baltimore County voters prepare for a pivotal election. (ANNAPOLIS – March 10, 2026) – There’s nothing quite like popping up in Annapolis during Maryland’s legislative session. The 90-day Maryland General Assembly session is relentless. The state’s 47 senators and 141 delegates debate roughly 2,500 bills affecting everything from energy costs and public safety to education funding and economic development. It is serious work. And on any given day, Annapolis becomes a meeting place for lawmakers, advocates, community leaders, and everyday Marylanders determined to ensure their voices are heard. During my visit this week, my focus was clear: Northwest Baltimore County, a key part of BMORENews’ coverage area. Earlier in the day, I had the opportunity to interview Legislative Black Caucus Chair Delegate N. Scott Phillips, followed by conversations with Senator Antonio Hayes and Senator Cory McCray. Later that evening, attention turned to 10th Legislative District Night in Annapolis, where constituents gathered with their elected officials. Representing the district today are Senator Ben Brooks and Delegates Adrienne A. Jones, Jennifer White-Holland, and N. Scott Phillips. And yes — there was good food. Island Quizine catered the event, the same Island Quizine where BMORENews will host Black Wall Street Milford Mill this Thursday. But while many attendees were enjoying dinner and networking, what I saw unfolding was something else. Politics. And if you’ve ever watched a gladiator movie, you know the moment before the big fight — when the fighters sharpen their skills before the arena gates open. That’s where we are now. Because with the June 23 primary election approaching, campaign season is officially underway. A Shift in the District 10 Delegate Race In Maryland legislative districts, voters typically elect one state senator and three delegates. Historically, incumbents hold an advantage, but upsets are always possible. In today’s political environment — where campaigns rely on sophisticated voter data, analytics, and targeted outreach — it is easier than ever to identify exactly what a candidate did wrong or what an opponent simply did better. And in District 10, the House of Delegates race is already generating conversation across the Liberty Road corridor, from Woodlawn and Randallstown to Lochearn, Owings Mills, Milford Mill, and Granite. Part of the attention stems from a major change in the district’s political lineup. Speaker Emerita Adrienne A. Jones, who has long represented District 10 in the House of Delegates and made history as the first woman and first African American to serve as Speaker of the Maryland House, is not seeking re-election. In her place, Robin Harvey has joined the District 10 Unity Team slate, running alongside Senator Ben Brooks and Delegates Jennifer White-Holland and N. Scott Phillips. Harvey brings extensive experience in public service and community leadership. She previously served as the elected representative for Councilmanic District 1 on the Baltimore County Board of Education, where she served three years as Vice Chair and advocated for strong governance and equitable…

Black Wall Street SOUTHERN MARYLAND Was a Success!

From Waterfront Wealth to Generational Vision — Southern Maryland Shows What Black Ownership Looks Like (ST. MARY’S COUNTY, MD – February 25, 2026) – First and foremost, I thank the good Lord for getting me to Southern Maryland and back safely. That was quite a ride. It had been some time since I’d traveled through St. Mary’s County. I passed sprawling waterfront homes, crossed a bridge that seemed to appear out of nowhere, and couldn’t help but think about Harriet Tubman. I wondered if she had traveled these same roads. The locals assured me she did. That alone set the tone.…
