MACo Legislative Action Network
Legislation Issues
During the Maryland General Assembly, MACo often calls upon its members to speak with a legislator regarding a particular bill. The MACo Legislative Action Network is MACo's grassroots effort to match county officials with Maryland Senators and Delegates to increase communication about legislation impacting county government. During Session, Legislative Action Alerts are sent via email when a vote on a specific bill is crucial. The alert will provide a brief overview of the legislation, MACo's position, and talking points.
MACo encourages members to participate in the network. For more information on becoming involved, please email Robin Clark.
