Maryland Black Caucus will have new leadership with resignations of Dels. Barnes, Brooks

September 28, 2022

The Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland will have new leadership when the 2023 General Assembly session begins in January. Two of its longstanding leaders — Del. Darryl Barnes (D-Prince George’s), the chair, and Del. Benjamin Brooks (D-Baltimore County), the treasurer — submitted letters to their caucus colleagues Monday saying they will resign their leadership posts in December. Both have served in the House of Delegates since 2015. Barnes, who’s chaired the caucus for an unusually long tenure of 5½ years, will step down Dec. 5, which he said will allow the caucus to choose a new leader before the legislation session convenes Jan. 11.
