The Honorable Michael E. Busch
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 1674 — University System of Maryland - Restrictions on Campaign
Fund - Raising Activities by Members of the Board of Regents.
House Bill 1674 precludes a citizen member of the University of Maryland Board of
Regents from engaging in fund raising activities for candidates for office of Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller, or a member of the Maryland
General Assembly. Additionally, a member of the Board of Regents is prohibited from
running for public office while serving on the Board.
This denial of a citizen's basic civil rights to fully participate in our representative
government is unacceptable. The unpaid volunteers serving on the Board of Regents
are motivated by the highest principles of public service to Maryland; insinuating
otherwise is insulting to the Regents, the University System, and every other
volunteer serving on a Maryland board or commission.
This legislation, targeting an individual member of the Board, or a member's right to
run for public office, is not policy, but rather is representative of the partisan politics
