Jared Solomon (Maryland politician)

Jared Scott Solomon (born April 3, 1985) is an American politician from the Democratic Party and is a member of the Maryland House of Delegates representing District 18.

[6] In the presidential general election, he canvassed for Democratic nominee Joe Biden in North Wales, Pennsylvania.

[9] In 2021, he introduced legislation to encourage school systems to adopt renewable energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,[10] and another requiring schools with lead levels higher than 5 million parts per million to make remedial repairs by summer 2022.

[11] In June 2022, following mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York, Solomon attended a March for our Lives protest in Wheaton, Maryland, where he called on Congress to pass gun safety legislation.

[20] Solomon opposes the state's Interstate 270 and Capital Beltway highway widening plan[21] and has criticized its use of public–private partnerships and high-occupancy toll lanes to fund it, calling it a "bait-and-switch".

[27] In July 2021, Solomon participated in a rally calling on members of the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board to not include the highway expansion projects in its environmental studies, which would prevent the projects from getting the "environmental seal of approval" needed for the state to start construction.

[28] In 2020, Solomon introduced a bill that would require the Maryland Department of Transportation to launch a memorandum of understanding process to form a regional rail service with Washington, D.C. and Virginia, which passed but was vetoed by Governor Hogan.
