In March 2018, a shooting at Great Mills High School in Maryland left many people in shock, and frustrated after yet another shooting that could have been prevented.
State Senator (D) Rich Madaleno had, since he first took office in 2002 in the Maryland legislature, consistently proposed gun violence prevention legislation, especially on school grounds. Then-Governor Larry Hogan never acted or expressed any support for such legislation, and thus many opportunities were lost over the years.
After the 2018 Maryland school shooting though, the Governor introduced his own bill very late in the legislative session, making it hard to review - especially since it comprised many other unrelated features, and asked for a constitutional change, which did not need to happen. He then blamed the Democratic representatives for being partisan and not wanting to legislate on gun control.
This video was thus made in response to the Governor's own attack videos misrepresenting the votes of Democrats in the State Senate, taking advantage of the emotional post-tragedy period and trying to frame them as "anti-school safety."
This video was made as the Press Secretary/Digital Manager for the gubernatorial campaign of Rich Madaleno in Maryland.
