A lifelong Maryland resident, Bill made Baltimore City his home when he joined Teach

for America and taught U.S. History and Government to ninth and tenth graders. The

inequities of the public education system in Baltimore City led Bill to engage more

deeply within the community and run for the Maryland Senate in 2010.

 

Bill is serving his third term as the State Senator for Maryland’s 46th Legislative District

including neighborhoods in South Baltimore, Downtown near and around the Inner

Harbor, and Southeast Baltimore. He was unanimously elected to serve as President of

the Maryland Senate in January of 2020, making him the second youngest Senate

President in Maryland history.

 

Bill is married to follow Teach for America alum, Lea. They live in Patterson Park with

their son, Caleb, and daughter, Cora.
