Which area of the state has the lowest percentage of residents 25 and older with a college degree?

In what area of the state did Donald Trump get his highest percentage of the vote in the Republican primary last June ?

The answer to both questions: Essex and Dundalk.

I learned that this summer, which prompted me to say this in my prayer on the Opening Day prayer:

“A 34-year old in Baltimore County is without a college degree or a well-paying job. The Beth Steel plant where his father had a union job is closed.”

What we do for those Essex residents, I continued, will help determine how this 90-day session is judged.

Building a wall on the Mexican border will not enable that 34-year old to get a better-paying job.

Further education or job training will.

Today, I introduced a bill creating a task force to study whether the German apprentice model would work in Essex, Dundalk, and four other areas of the state with the fewest number of college graduates.
