(REISTERSTOWN – October 31, 2025) – Last night, Delegate N. Scott Phillips gathered his supporters for a fundraiser at a popular cigar lounge in Reisterstown. The evening drew a virtual who’s who of Greater Baltimore as the Northwest Baltimore County delegate gears up for the upcoming 90-day General Assembly session in Annapolis.
Phillips has been increasingly active in state politics, weighing in on key issues that affect Maryland’s business community. Most recently, he shared his perspective on the federal freeze impacting Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) — a major concern for small and minority-owned firms. Working closely with the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland, Phillips has urged state officials to take a more proactive stance and develop tangible solutions that keep Maryland’s Black businesses competitive and protected.
Advocating for small Black-owned businesses is nothing new to Phillips. He’s been a consistent voice for entrepreneurs like Jimmy Britton of Class Act Catering, who speaks highly of the delegate’s loyalty and leadership — and the respect is mutual.
Phillips understands the deep connection between business and politics as well as anyone. He’s a lawyer for small businesses, a delegate helping shape state policy, and a former president and founding member of Black Professional Men, Inc.
So, it was no surprise to see so many familiar and influential faces in the room celebrating a man who has earned his stripes — from the classroom to the basketball court, from the court of law to the State House.
That’s our guy — Delegate N. Scott Phillips.
