Ryan Scott Spiegel[1][2] (born July 6, 1978) is an American politician and attorney who is a member of the Maryland House of Delegates from District 17 since 2023.

[9][10] In December 2013, Spiegel announced his candidacy for the Montgomery County Council in District 3, seeking to succeed Councilmember Phillip Andrews.

[13] In this position, he criticized efforts to pass legislation making it easier to install 5G cell towers in the state, calling it a "land grab" by the telecommunications industry and saying that he wanted to "avoid any reasonable regulation of this technology".

[19] In February 2020, Spiegel expressed frustration with but ultimately voted in favor of a bill providing WRS Inc. with a 90-day extension to buy anchor properties at Lakeforest Mall.

[21] In August 2020, Spiegel voted in favor of a maximum 12-month redevelopment moratorium on Lakeforest Mall, which he said would "prevent development from occurring that is not full-fledged to the best and highest use of the map designation area".

Spiegel defended the amendment from these criticisms, suggesting that it was "a bit backwards" to say it would undercut the goal of expanding affordable housing in Gaithersburg.

[27] In April 2022, he sought to block a state bill that would require local governments to adopt state-level lobbyist registration standards.
