HB 101 got its first reading in Annapolis. This bill would require Maryland Public Television to include all ballot-qualified candidates in gubernatorial debates as a condition of receiving state funding.
We break down:
• Why "101" is the perfect bill number for civics education
• The coalition forming.
• Delegate Simmons — a Democratic deputy whip — is sponsoring the bill
• The Baltimore Sun's coverage and Governor Moore's response
• Why this is structured as a funding condition, not a mandate
The history matters: Ross Perot in 1992 and Kevin Zeese in 2006 got on the debate stage and people liked it. The two parties and their media partners shut it down. Now third-party and independent candidates are systematically excluded from debates. Organizing and protests haven't worked. That's why we need this in law.
