Senator Will Smith, Chair of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee, joins Conversations with HJM to share his perspective on the key issues facing Maryland.
In this episode, Chairman Smith discusses how federal decisions on Medicaid, housing, and tariffs directly impact Marylanders, particularly the state’s large population of federal workers. The conversation also explores public safety and juvenile justice, where Chairman Smith highlights Maryland’s progress on reducing violent crime while emphasizing the need for reforms that keep young people out of the adult prison system. Smith addresses Maryland’s ongoing battle against fentanyl and the opioid crisis, calling for a stronger focus on treatment and mental health services rather than incarceration, while holding major dealers accountable.
This episode offers a thoughtful look at how Maryland is confronting challenges in public safety, housing, and healthcare while working to protect vulnerable communities and strengthen justice outcomes.
