Tom's Midday Newsmaker guest today is Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman, Jr.

Last November, he was elected to a second term.

Pittman has a history of working for progressive causes, but on some issues, he is more aligned with pragmatic centrists.

A first-time office holder when he won election to his first term in 2018, he was tapped by another elective first-timer, Gov. Wes Moore, to serve as the Master of Ceremonies at Moore’s historic inauguration in Annapolis.

Steuart Pittman joins us on Zoom from Annapolis to discuss his second-term agenda for Anne Arundel County, and his legislative priorities for the final weeks of the Maryland General Assembly.
