Shadows on the Bench: Maryland’s Judicial Campaign Finance Transparency Problem
Judicial integrity in Maryland is compromised by lack of transparency in campaign financing, especially from lawyers and dark money groups.

Proposed reforms aim to enhance transparency, limit donor contributions, and ensure a fair judicial election system, restoring confidence in the judiciary.
