Gail Bates has been nominated to serve on the State Board of Education by Governor Larry Hogan.
Gail Bates served as a State Delegate (District 9A) between 2002 and 2014 and as a State Senator (District 9) between 2014 and 2018. In November, Gail Bates lost to Democrat Katie Hester by less than 600 votes in her bid for re-election to the Maryland State Senate.
Some other notable public service for Former State Senator Bates includes:

And this is important background information you should know on this topic:

To me…this should be an easy confirmation for the Maryland State Senate.
Earlier this year another previously elected official from Howard County was added to the Hogan administration: Allan Kittleman Confirmed For Workers’ Comp Commission.
