Political Journey
Bilal Ali became a delegate in the Maryland House of Delegates. He was chosen to fill a spot that became empty when another delegate, Jill P. Carter, left.
Time as a Lawmaker
Bilal Ali officially started his job on February 3, 2017. He was assigned to a group called the House Ways and Means committee. This committee helps decide how money is spent and raised for the state.
He was also a part of the Baltimore City Delegation. This group focuses on issues important to Baltimore City. He was also a member of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland. This group works on laws that help Black communities in Maryland.
In January 2018, Bilal Ali suggested a new law. It was called the "Jared Kushner Act." This law aimed to stop people from being arrested for owing small amounts of unpaid rent. This idea came after a report showed that some companies were very strict about collecting rent.
In February 2018, Ali also suggested big changes for the Baltimore Police Department. He thought the department should be reorganized. This idea came after some police officers faced legal issues.
Election Results
In 2018, Bilal Ali ran for re-election to keep his seat as a delegate. However, he was not chosen by the voters in the primary election. Three other candidates, Samuel I. Rosenberg, Dalya Attar, and Tony Bridges, won the election for District 41.
