Maggie McIntosh has been a fixture in city and state politics for more than three decades, known both for her liberal politics and her skills as a strategist. As House Speaker Michael E. Busch’s health was failing this year, McIntosh stepped in to advance a bill requiring several hundred million dollars in school construction each year. A teacher by training, McIntosh worked in Maryland politics long before she ran for office. McIntosh has been active in Baltimore Democratic organizations since the early 1980s and helped orchestrate statewide political campaigns for the Maryland Democratic Party.
