As researchers advance their understanding of the causes of gun violence in the US and the contexts in which it occurs, one area under recent consideration is the relationship between firearm use and alcohol misuse. A recent report by the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions found that one in three individuals who committed a homicide with a firearm were heavily drinking at the time of the offense. Additionally, 30% of firearm homicide victims were under the influence of alcohol at the time of their death, as were 25% of gun suicide victims. On this episode of Policy Outsider, Senator Cory McCray of Maryland's 45th Legislative District, which covers parts of east and northeast Baltimore, joins Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium Executive Director Jaclyn Schildkraut to discuss the proactive policy action he's taken to address the dangerous intersection of alcohol misuse and gun violence in his district.

EP 149 Aaron Dante sits down with  Maryland State Senator Cory V. McCray. We talk about how got  into politics. How my neighbors have spoke highly of him. What bills he has helped pass and his love for reading books. Tune in this is an episode you don't want to miss.   Cory McCray was elected to represent the 45th Legislative District in the Maryland State Senate in 2018. Since that time, he has been named a “legislator to watch” by The Daily Record and Maryland Matters. Additionally, Cory also serves as First Vice Chair of the Maryland Democratic Party. Cory's story is a uniquely Baltimore story. Like many of us, Cory grew up in a Baltimore whose greatest resource was its hardworking men and women. In spite of that resource, the City often struggled to give those men and women the opportunity they deserved. As a teenager at Fairmount- Harford High School, Cory was also in search of opportunity. After a brief trip down the wrong path as a teenager, he found out about apprenticeships at the age of 18. The rest is history. By 19, he had become a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. By 20, he was a homeowner. Cory continued to meet opportunity halfway, working his way through community college and a bachelor's degree, all while growing a small business focused on rental properties. Those years also brought marriage and four loving children, along with a career focused wholly on working families and the communities they hold dear. Cory continues working for his local union and as a community organizer to this day, helping expand the opportunity for a better life to men and women across our City. In 2014, neighbors across the 45th District elected Cory to represent them in Maryland's House of Delegates. During his time in the House, leading news outlets like Center Maryland called him one of the most effective freshman legislators in the entire state. Cory's approach to public service is listening to his constituents' problems and then figuring out how to solve them. When his constituents asked for better jobs, Cory passed the ACTION and POWER Apprenticeship Acts, which expands funding for apprenticeships that lead to family supporting careers. When he was asked for a larger investment in public schools, Cory passed legislation that scores school construction funding, so that lawmakers can't cut Baltimore out of the resources it deserves. Cory's neighbors also asked him to make sure that they have a voice in Annapolis. He gave them a voice by passing legislation that restored voting rights to thousands of Marylanders. Just weeks after that victory, Governor Larry Hogan vetoed the bill and again silenced voices at the ballot box that many men and women had found for the first time in decades. But Cory didn't give up. He returned to the legislature more determined than ever, building a coalition of legislators from across Maryland who overturned the governor's veto, restoring the voices that Governor Hogan had silenced As the 45th District's Senator, Cory is continuing his mission to bring greater levels of resources and equity to the City of Baltimore.

We often tell high schoolers that to be successful, they should eventually pick one area and focus their attention heavily. For Clarence Lam, a 1999 Emmaus High School graduate. it was a desire to pursue multiple passions that has led him on a unique career path. After finishing at EHS, he went on to study both political science and biology. He has gone on to become a physician in preventive medicine at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a Maryland State Senator for District 12 in Baltimore and Howard Counties, since his election in November 2018. During this conversation, Lam talks about his high school social studies classes opening his eyes to the world and the importance of civics and government, his unique combination of skills being an asset during the Covid-19 pandemic, and his advice about taking the new found independence of being in high school and using it to figure out a future direction.

Tim Hickman, former Maryland State Senator, discusses how he was able to remain true to his original campaign pledges, his constituents, and his conscience as he served in the compromising environs... Good hearts make the world a better place

“We all do the best we can. And I think whatever someone decides to do is the right step for them. But speaking out does have an impact. And I know that sharing my story brought comfort to many women, brought accountability to one man in particular, got legislation passed, and I think served as a bit of an educational opportunity or a warning to a lot of other men. And that makes it all worthwhile. It’s all of that.” — Maryland State Senator, Cheryl Kagan Cheryl Kagan represents Maryland State Senate District 17 in Annapolis. On March 1, 2018 she was inappropriately touched by a lobbyist. After she she called him out publicly, inspired by brave voices in the #MeToo movement, the lobbyist called her delusional and threatened to sue. Then Sen.

What makes Maryland State Senator Bill Ferguson a rare leader? He's not only had experience at three levels of Maryland's education system — first as a teacher, then in the central office, and now as an elected official — but he's also truly in it for the long haul, not just the easy wins. We ask Bill what the rest of the world can learn from Baltimore at its best and at its worst, and how he keeps it all together as a leader.

This week, the passing of Supreme Court Justice has created yet another opportunity for a gigantic political meltdown between President Barack Obama and his opponents in the Senate, as well as a new round of talking points for candidates on the campaign trail. We'll explain where battle lines have been drawn and what's likely to happen next. Meanwhile, our guest this week is Maryland State Senator and law professor Jamie Raskin, who's gotten into the crowded Democratic primary to replace Representative Chris Van Hollen in Maryland's 8th District. He'll make his case for why he belongs getting the nomination over some well funded, but less experienced opponents. Finally, we've been talking on this show about the dangers to the economy posed by Too Big To Fail banks, and we have some good news to report: our overwhelmingly sound arguments have convinced former bailout czar and current president of the Minneapolis Fed Neel Kashkari to join us. This was pretty unexpected, but now we're gonna gloat. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
