Tony McConkey was first elected into the Maryland House of Delegates in 2003, taking the seat of former Delegate Janet Greenip, who ran for a State Senate seat. McConkey serves in District 33A, which is located in Anne Arundel County Maryland. He won reelection in 2006[1]. ].
Education
McConkey graduated in 1986 with two undergraduate degrees. he received his B.A. Degree in government and politics and his B.S. in business management from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1986. He later returned to the University of Maryland School of Law and received his J.D. 1990.
Career
In addition to serving as a delegate, McConkey is also a real estate broker and property manager for RE/MAX Supreme Properties.
As a member of the Republican Party in the Maryland House of Delegates, he serves as Deputy Minority Whip. He is a member of the Judiciary Committee.
McConkey fought in March 2007 to allow for an elected school board in Anne Arundel County. However, a bill was passed that allowed the Governor to select the members from a list. McConkey and Warren Miller were the only dissenting votes.[2]
Another issue that McConkey advocates is limiting privileges for illegal immigrants. He co-sponsored a bill in the House, similar to the one submitted by State Senator Greenip that would require driver's license applicants to prove they are citizens of the United States.[3] Currently, Maryland is one of several states that does not demand proof of citizenship to obtain a driver's license.[4] This has made Maryland a haven for illegal immigrants who can take advantage of this situation.[citation needed]
