Welcome friends!

I’m Terri Hill, Maryland State Delegate in the reconfigured District 12A.  Since 2015 when I first came to Annapolis, we have made great progress with the issues that matter most to our District and State:

  • Job and career opportunities with financial security
  • Business growth and development for the 21st century
  • Great schools and educational opportunities
  • Safe and inclusive communities that nurture creativity and industry
  • Preservation of Maryland’s environment—the source of its beauty and wealth
  • Compassionate health care that promotes prevention and the highest standards of care
  • A living standard that affords a superior quality of life

You can follow me by visiting my General Assembly Page.

Your support is important to me as I continue to fight for a better Maryland every day. I remain committed and would like to return to the statehouse to build on our accomplishments. I hope I can count on your vote during the primary in July and on election day in November.

Thank you,

END OF 2023 SESSION

The 2023 Legislative Session in Annapolis was a productive one. Thanks to all of you who attended our Town Hall to hear about it. It was great seeing everyone and to hear your ideas for how to continue move Maryland forward.

I have prepared my end-of-session newsletter, which gives details about the bills we passed, legislative highlights and Annapolis news. Click below for the full report in PDF.

Priority Issues

Seniors and Vulnerable People

    1. Behavioral health support
    2. Housing
    3. Medical
Jobs

Workforce training and development

Education

    1.  Funding
    2. Visioncare
    3. Behavioral health

Our children need 21st century resources to prepare them for college and 21st century careers. And because children learn differently and have diverse abilities and interests, we must offer them multiple paths to success.  I am committed to providing the resources needed to strengthen our schools, close gaps in school readiness and achievement, supporting our teachers, and finding creative solutions to the problem of rising costs that are discouraging too many of our best and brightest from pursuing higher education.  I support:

  • Funding public Pre-K for all.
  • Giving teachers more professional development and planning opportunities, and peer platforms for the exchange of ideas.
  • Preparing students for college and 21st century careers through rigorous instruction in STEAM subjects (science, technology, engineering, arts and math)
  • Top quality vocational training and career certification programs incorporating expanded education partnerships with businesses and other employers
  • Improving the learning environment by modernizing facilities, relieving overcrowding and upgrading technology.
  • Making higher education more accessible by controlling costs and exploring innovative programs to finance tuition without incurring overwhelming debt.
  • Increasing investments in our community colleges and workforce training programs, to better meet the needs of both young people and older adults.
Environment

  • Climate change
  • Climate justice
  • Recycling
  • Conservation
  • Preservation of Maryland’s natural resources
Healthcare, Mental Health, Public Health

Delegate Hill’s healthcare priorities are informed by her life’s work as a surgeon. She will continue to:

  • Work to provide tools to help Marylander’s navigate health care access points and addressing quality of care concerns
  • Eliminate barriers to quality affordable health care
  • Establish effective addiction and behavioral health treatment
  • Lower prescription drug costs
  • Decrease infant and maternal mortality
  • Support adequate provider reimbursements
Social Justice

Address economic, healthcare, environment and education disparities
