Change comes to the state elections board as DeMarinis takes the helm

In 2013, soon after the passage of an overhaul of state campaign finance law, Jared DeMarinis was handed a badge. DeMarinis, then the state’s director of candidacy and campaign finance, was part of an overhaul of campaign finance laws in Maryland in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United three years earlier. The new law also gave DeMarinis and his office wider latitude to issue civil violations.
