The Brief Maryland lawmakers have convened for a special three-day session to advance a constitutional amendment that would change how the state draws its congressional maps. Maryland lawmakers returned to Annapolis on Monday for a special three-day legislative session focused on a highly contentious issue: reshaping the state's congressional maps. "The House always stands ready to meet the moment, and we are going to do that," said Maryland House Speaker Joseline Peña-Melnyk (D). "Governor Moore has chosen to prioritize a constitutional amendment instead of making affordability their first order of business," Cox stated. Maryland voters will have the final say on the proposed constitutional amendment through a ballot question this November.
