47 ABC: Johnny reported wins protecting watermen, poultry, and gun owners

What you need to know — from Johnny's team

After his first session as a State Senator, Johnny came home to the Shore and gave a straight account of what the Eastern Shore delegation actually pulled off in Annapolis — and what’s still coming.

The wins were specific and they mattered: protecting watermen’s seats on the aquaculture board, blocking the worst of the bills aimed at poultry and forestry, and pulling back gun legislation that would have hit law-abiding owners across Caroline, Dorchester, Talbot, and Wicomico Counties. None of it was guaranteed. All of it took work in a building where the Eastern Shore is outnumbered every single day.

Johnny didn’t claim victory and walk away. He kept his eye on what came next — which bills Governor Moore would sign, which ones he’d let slide into law, and what that meant for Shore families heading into the summer.

Verbatim excerpt — fair-use quote from 47 ABC (WMDT)

Many of them were peeled back dramatically and look nothing like they did when first introduced however they were enacted the question is will Governor Moore veto them before the end of May or let them go into law

— Senator Johnny Mautz
