House of Delegates Member · Legislative District 12A · Maryland · 2026 Primary
Members of the Maryland House of Delegates represent their local districts in the state legislature by proposing, debating, and voting on laws that impact public education, healthcare, and transportation. They work alongside the state Senate to pass Maryland’s annual budget and determine how tax dollars are allocated to community services and infrastructure projects. This office is vital because delegates shape the statewide policies and spending priorities that directly influence the daily lives of all residents.
View all candidates in this raceFrank Glover is a Maryland candidate who draws inspiration from his great-great uncle, Frank Anthony Furst, a German immigrant and self-made businessman credited with helping build Baltimore through infrastructure projects like dredging the harbor and modernizing sanitation. He views success as having a responsibility to uplift others and create rewarding work for them, believing that unless it benefits society, it is not true success. Glover questions why individuals should keep their heads down rather than speaking up to improve their communities in places like Baltimore and Maryland.
