Annapolis, MD, January 12, 2026 — AARP Maryland today announced its 2026 legislative priorities, under the strategic leadership of Advocacy Director Sara M. Westrick. The agenda reflects AARP Maryland’s unwavering commitment to its more than 800,000 members aged 50 and older across the state, along with their families.
Patients in Maryland hospitals spent a median time of 247 minutes in the ER before leaving. AARP will work with a coalition of other groups on legislative steps to address the problem.
For years, third-party energy retailers have been persuading Maryland consumers to switch suppliers, offering initial utility rates that seemed like a bargain, along with gift cards and other incentives.
