Josh Kurtz, founding editor of news site Maryland Matters, joins Midday for an update from the campaign trail. A close race between Democrat Angela Alsobrooks and Republican Larry Hogan is drawing millions of dollars from PACs as control of the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance.

Abortion remains a contentious subject in this race. One ad, funded by a PAC connected to Democrat Gov. Wes Moore, questions Gov. Larry Hogan support for abortion rights. Hogan countered with two ads on abortion and women’s rights.

A close race as Alsobrooks and Hogan vie for Maryland's U.S. Senate seat

When we have elections, Midday turns to former Maryland Secretary of State John Willis for insight into how Marylanders exercised their right to make their voices heard.

After serving as Secretary of State from 1995-2003, and for many years has been the Executive in Residence at the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Baltimore.

As the dust settles after Election Day, how was Maryland's turnout?

Khalil Zaied is the newly sworn-in Director of the Baltimore City Department of Public Works.

He takes over an agency that has been rocked by scandal, and roundly criticized by workers and people outside of DPW for ineffective and hostile organizational culture. A lack of training and accountability and insufficient emergency protocols even contributed to the death of a DPW worker, Ronald Silver II, last summer.

Zaied joins Midday to discuss how he intends to address the questions surrounding DPW.

A new leader for Baltimore Public Works leans into new practices

The make-up of the Maryland congressional delegation will be significantly different when the new Congress is sworn in in January.

Angela Alsobrooks and Sarah Elfreth will be the first two women to join the delegation since Barbara Mikulski and Donna Owens left Congress in 2016. Senator-elect Alsobrooks becomes only the third African American woman to be elected to the US Senate.

The election saw voters decisively pass a plan for Harbor Place, while turning down an amendment to shrink the size of the City Council.

Statewide, voters statewide overwhelmingly voted to enshrine in the Maryland Constitution the right to access to reproductive health care.

Today on Midday, how are you feeling? What do you think? We discuss the latest with analysis from WYPR's Ashley Sterner, the co-host of On the Record, and WYPR News Director Matt Bush.
