Senator Brian Feldman, Chair of the Senate Education, Energy, and Environment Committee, joins Conversations with HJM to discuss the wide-ranging issues before one of Annapolis’ busiest committees.
In this episode, Feldman explains the expansive jurisdiction of the “Triple E” Committee—covering education, energy, environment, election law, data centers, cybersecurity, affordable housing, and more. He highlights how the committee has handled more legislation than any other in recent years, reflecting the scope and importance of its work.
Feldman outlines the challenges of balancing energy expansion with affordability, reliability, and local impacts, including efforts to reform siting laws while protecting Maryland’s agricultural reserve. The conversation also touches on agriculture, affordable housing, and the unique tensions between state and local government when it comes to zoning, development, and land use. Tune in to see Feldman’s perspective on the upcoming election-year session, predicting another high-volume, high-stakes legislative year shaped by federal budget decisions, state fiscal pressures, and potentially competitive statewide races.
