Republican nominee former Gov. Larry Hogan vetoed similar legislation in Maryland.

With early voting starting this week, Midday takes a look at Question 1 on Maryland's statewide ballot and the bond and charter amendments on the Baltimore City ballot.

Midday speaks with Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks about her campaign for U.S. Senate as early voting is set to start October 24.

Maryland ranks fourth in the nation for its population of African immigrants. Often overlooked, this community of about 900,000 people has begun organizing and demanding more political representation.

Midday explores Baltimore City's Ballot Question F which allows voters to weigh in on changes to Inner Harbor Park that are critical to the future development of Harborplace.

Some are backing third-party candidate Jill Stein, others are writing in their choice. But both Trump and Harris are largely a no-go.

Baltimore is set to vote on a slate of candidates this election. But ballots will also include several proposed amendments to the city's charter, which is like a city constitution. One of the amendments is Question H, which would reduce the size of the City Council.

Jovani Patterson, chairman of People for Elected Accountability and Civic Engagement, thinks that by slashing the size of that office, the city can redirect funding elsewhere. Detractors argue it will decrease representation.

Mikulski says Alsobrooks can defeat Republican Larry Hogan by focusing on “macro and macaroni and cheese” issues.

Maryland’s State Administrator of Elections joins Midday as early voting is set to begin on Oct. 15. Then, Sam Novey of Baltimore Votes Coalition on getting more people involved in their election process. Two new election judges, both high school students, share what spurred them to action.
