Wes Moore and other Democrats urging support while opponents warned of gerrymandering. Prince George’s County voters will also decide whether to eliminate its two at-large council seats.

Education and Media: The University of Maryland fired football coach Mike Locksley, and reports that police were called while student journalists covered the story have raised concerns about press freedom. Baltimore’s teachers union and school system, meanwhile, approved a two-year pay deal. Local Government: Baltimore County Council approved a nearly 74% pay raise for members ahead of a planned expansion. Economy and Services: Moore created a maritime task force to promote the state’s shipping industry, while state investments will help add 150 affordable apartments in Baltimore.
