Maryland District Three Rep Rejects Plan to Add 14 New Electoral Districts

Capitol Hill, Liberia: Maryland District Three Representative has rejected a House-approved bill that seeks to create 14 new electoral districts before the 2029 elections. The measure would increase Liberia’s districts from 73 to 87 across eight counties.

The representative argues that the country’s struggling economy cannot sustain the added costs that come with more lawmakers, staff, and administrative structures. He warns that expanding the Legislature now would divert limited resources from essential public services.

He points to severe financial shortages in the education and health sectors, high youth unemployment, low civil-service salaries, and underdeveloped infrastructure in existing districts as priorities that must come first.

Calling the proposed expansion a “misplaced national priority,” the Maryland District Three Representative insists the government should focus on improving citizens’ living conditions—jobs, education, healthcare, and basic infrastructure—before adding new political seats.
