About the Senator for Gaithersburg & Rockville
Sen. Cheryl C. Kagan (D–17) has served in the Maryland Senate since 2015, where her energy, dedication, and experience in all sectors– public, private, and nonprofit– have made her an effective advocate for the residents of Gaithersburg and Rockville. In 2019, she was appointed Vice Chair of the Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee. In 2022, the committee was reconfigured as Education, Energy, and the Environment (& Elections!).
Senator Kagan's 2024 Legislative Agenda
The 446th Legislative Session of the Maryland General Assembly is here! It is an honor to serve my neighbors in Gaithersburg and Rockville, and I am looking forward to another productive year representing you. My common sense policy agenda for this session aims to improve public safety, elections, consumer protection, and the transition to a green future. Here are some of the bills I’m sponsoring:
- Implementing a statewide 2-1-1/3-1-1 service to relieve pressure on our 9-1-1 centers;
- Creating a revolving loan program for nonprofits to shift to “green energy;”
- Expanding opportunity for unaffiliated voters to participate in Primary Elections;
- Allowing honorably discharged non-citizen veterans to apply to serve as police officers as we face crisis-level personnel shortages;
- Reducing the fiscal burden on our counties by clarifying election cost-sharing;
- Penalizing those who interfere with our 9-1-1 call centers;
- Requiring Special Elections to fill legislative vacancies so that it’s the voters who select their representatives– rather than party activists; and
- Saving lives by requiring updated CPR training in our 9-1-1 call centers.
