State Senator · Legislative District 41 · Maryland · 2026 Primary
Maryland State Senators represent their local districts in the General Assembly, where they propose and vote on laws covering issues like education, transportation, and public safety. They are responsible for approving the state’s annual budget and have the unique power to confirm or reject the Governor’s appointments for judges and agency leaders. This office is critical because its decisions determine how state tax dollars are spent and which policies govern your local community.

Sen. Dalya Attar was indicted by a federal grand jury in October 2025 on charges of extortion, conspiracy, and wiretapping related to an alleged blackmail scheme against a former political consultant. Her attorneys have moved to dismiss several counts, arguing the case is not about economic gain but rather a response to documented stalking and harassment from the alleged victim. The charges stem from events related to her 2022 re-election effort and involve her brother and a Baltimore City Police officer as co-defendants.
“Attar now faces federal extortion and conspiracy charges related to her 2022 re-election effort.”
