The City of Frederick is seeking public input to help shape its legislative priorities for the upcoming Maryland General Assembly session. According to a press release from the City of Frederick, residents are encouraged to participate in an annual survey that will inform the city’s advocacy efforts in Annapolis. This initiative, first launched by Mayor Michael O’Connor in 2023, provides a formal channel for residents to voice their concerns and priorities regarding state-level issues that impact Frederick. This year’s survey also extends to gathering feedback on federal matters that may have local implications.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The survey is available online and will remain open until September 17, 2025. The feedback gathered will be instrumental in finalizing the city’s agenda before the Maryland General Assembly convenes on January 14, 2026. The General Assembly session is scheduled to conclude on April 13, 2026. During this legislative period, Maryland municipalities and organizations typically seek funding for local projects or advocate for policy changes beneficial to their communities. The Mayor has emphasized the importance of community engagement in the city’s advocacy work, stating that the administration will continue to provide avenues for residents to make their voices heard and work toward shared goals for the city.
