Background edit

Born in Bethesda, Maryland, Parrott graduated from Old Mill High School in 1988. He went on to the University of Maryland, College Park where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering in 1994. He later attended graduate school and in 2006 graduated from Mount Saint Mary's University with a Master of Business Administration.[1]

Parrott began his career at the Maryland State Highway Administration where he was a traffic engineer. He went on from there to become the Deputy Director of Engineering in the Frederick, Maryland Department of Public Works.[1] Parrott later moved to Western Maryland after marrying his wife, to start a consulting company, Traffic Solutions Inc.[4]

Political career edit

Parrott first got involved with politics in 2002, successfully suing the American Civil Liberties Union over the removal of a monument for the Ten Commandments in a public park in Frederick, Maryland. In April 2009, he got involved with the Tea Party movement, organizing bus trips to Washington, D.C. to protest the Affordable Care Act. In July 2009, Parrott filed to run for the Maryland House of Delegates in District 2B.[4]

Maryland House of Delegates edit

Parrott was sworn in as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates on January 12, 2011, representing District 2B.[1] He was redrawn into District 2A during the 2010 redistricting cycle.[5]

In February 2013, Parrott was one of three House members who voted against reprimanding state delegate Tony McConkey, who failed to disclose a conflict of interest when pushing for legislation that would have allowed him to regain his suspended real estate license.[6][7]

In January 2015, Parrott said he would apply to fill a vacancy in the Maryland Senate left by the resignation of Christopher B. Shank.[8] State delegate Andrew A. Serafini was ultimately appointed to the seat and sworn in on February 2, 2015.[9]

Committee assignments edit

  • Member, Judiciary Committee, 2011–2018 (estates & trusts subcommittee, 2011–2014; juvenile law subcommittee, 2015–2018)[1]
  • Assistant Minority Whip, 2015–2021[1]
  • Member, Environment and Transportation Committee, 2019–2023 (housing & real property subcommittee, 2019–2023; motor vehicle & transportation subcommittee, 2019–2023)[1]

MDPetitions.com edit

In July 2012, Parrott founded an organization, MDPetitions.com, and started an accompanying website to coordinate efforts to petition laws he opposed to be placed on ballot initiatives. In an interview with The Baltimore Sun, he said he started the website with the goal of "taming the Democratic establishment so it wouldn't pass legislation that most Marylanders oppose".[4]

 
Maryland's congressional districts from 2013 to 2023, which Parrott sought to overturn in 2012

That year, Parrott successfully placed ballot initiatives for three laws–the legalization of same-sex marriage, offering in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants, and the state's congressional redistricting map.[4] These petitions, despite being rejected by voters,[10] earned Parrott the Maryland Republican Party Man of the Year award.[4]

In April 2013, Parrott said he would not seek a ballot referendum against a law banning assault weapons and requiring licenses to buy handguns, which he had likened to a poll tax, instead backing a lawsuit from the National Rifle Association against the law.[11]

In 2014, Parrott again sought to place two referendums seeking to repeal legislation on the ballot–a 2013 bill abolishing the death penalty,[12] and a 2014 bill prohibiting discrimination against transgender Marylanders in housing and employment, nicknamed the "Bathroom Bill" by its detractors.[13] However, both petition attempts fell short of the 55,736 signature threshold to get on the ballot.[14][15]

Redistricting lawsuits edit

In March 2013, Parrott joined a Judicial Watch lawsuit that sought to overturn the results of the 2012 redistricting referendum, asking the courts to hold a new election using different ballot language.[16]

In June 2015, Parrott joined another Judicial Watch lawsuit against Maryland's congressional districts, claiming that the state's redistricting plan was unconstitutional.[17]

In November 2021, ahead of the special legislative session to pass the newly drawn redistricting maps, Parrott said he supported the maps drawn by Governor Larry Hogan's Maryland Citizens Redistricting Commission (MCRC).[18] He had participated in the MCRC's public hearing process, during which he advocated for adopting single-member legislative districts.[19] In December 2021, Parrott and Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit that sought to repeal the state's newly redrawn congressional map, which he described as a "political gerrymander".[20][21] The new map would have likely protected incumbent Democratic U.S. Representatives and gave Democrats a realistic chance of defeating U.S. Representative Andy Harris, the lone Republican in Maryland's congressional delegation, by adding more Democratic voters to his district.[22] In March 2022, Circuit Court Judge Lynne A. Battaglia ruled for Parrott, striking down the congressional maps that she called a "product of extreme partisan gerrymandering".[23] The Maryland General Assembly passed a new redistricting plan shortly after the ruling, during which Parrott introduced an amendment to swap out the new map with the MCRC-drawn map. The amendment was rejected by a 42-92 vote.[24]

Congressional campaigns edit

2020 edit

On November 22, 2019, Parrott announced that he would run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Maryland's 6th congressional district, challenging incumbent Democratic U.S. Representative David Trone.[25][26]

Parrott was defeated by Trone in the general election on November 4, 2020, receiving 39 percent of the vote to Trone's 58 percent.[27][28]

2022 edit

Immediately following his defeat in 2020, Parrott filed to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Maryland's 6th congressional district, again challenging Trone.[29] He announced his candidacy on November 17, 2021.[30] Parrott defeated Washington Free Beacon journalist Matthew Foldi in the Republican primary election on July 19, 2022.[31]

During the general election, Parrott was heavily outspent by Trone, who had had a 14-1 cash-on-hand advantage and spent $12 million to self-fund his campaign.[32] Despite this, he had received more individual contributions from Maryland.[33] The National Republican Congressional Committee targeted the district, which was redrawn to be almost evenly divided between Democratic and Republican voters.[34][35] The district was also described as the only competitive district in Maryland, with The Economist giving Parrott a 53 percent chance of winning and FiveThirtyEight rating it as "highly competitive".[36]

Parrott was defeated by Trone in the general election on November 8, 2022. He conceded to Trone on November 11.[37] Political analysts, including Goucher College's Mileah Kromer,[38] saw Trone's ability to self-fund and controversial Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Cox as factors that led to Parrott's defeat.[39] Following his defeat, he called on the Maryland Republican Party to embrace mail-in voting.[40]

2024 edit

On June 27, 2023, Parrott formed an exploratory committee to explore a potential third run for the district in 2024, seeking to succeed U.S. Representative David Trone, who ran for U.S. Senate in 2024.[41] He officially entered the race on February 9, 2024, hours before the candidate filing deadline.[3] During the Republican primary, Parrott ran on a platform including securing the border, increasing fracking, and widening local highways.[42]

Political positions edit

Abortion edit

During the 2013 legislative session, Parrott introduced a bill that would ban abortions past 20 weeks, with exceptions for medical emergencies.[43] The bill failed to pass out of committee.[44] During his 2022 run for congress, Parrott said he would support a federal 15-week ban on abortions.[39]

In 2017, Parrott said he opposed a bill that would provide state funding to abortion services providers.[45] In November 2019, he said he supported a federal ban on abortion funding[26] and codifying the Mexico City Policy.[46] In May 2022, Parrott promoted a petition that sought to create a ballot referendum to repeal the Abortion Care Access Act, a bill that would provide $3.5 million to expand who could provide abortion services.[47]

During the 2019 legislative session, Parrott opposed proposals to create a ballot referendum on the right to abortion access.[48]

In 2020, Parrott introduced a bill that would require minors to receive parental consent to get an intrauterine device (IUD).[49]

In June 2022, Parrott celebrated the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, calling it a "great decision".[50] In February 2024, he urged voters to vote against the 2024 Maryland abortion referendum to codify abortion rights into the Maryland Constitution.[51]

Electoral reform edit

During the 2012 legislative session, Parrott introduced a bill to make the signatures of proposed ballot referendums private. The bill failed to move out of committee.[52] In 2013, he introduced a bill that would require language used on referendum petitions to match the language used on the ballot.[53]

In 2015, Parrott introduced a bill that would delay primary elections if they fall on religious holidays.[54] In May 2015, he said he opposed a bill that would restore voting rights for ex-felons and used his MDPetitions.com organization to forward emails opposing the bill to Governor Larry Hogan, who later vetoed the bill.[55][56]

During the 2021 legislative session, Parrott introduced a bill that would require the Maryland State Board of Elections to verify signatures on mail-in ballots.[57]

Energy edit

In February 2017, Parrott voted against a bill that extending the state's energy efficiency program, criticizing its utility bill fee as a "regressive tax".[58]

Foreign policy edit

In September 2015, Parrott participated in a "Stop the Iran Deal" rally in Washington, D.C.[59]

Gun policy edit

In January 2013, Parrott said he would support Governor Martin O'Malley's bill to require a license to purchase a handgun if the bill also included provisions to expand the right to carry. He also criticized the bill's provisions banning assault rifles and limiting magazine capacities.[60]

In 2018, Parrott introduced legislation to adopt the castle doctrine, which would allow homeowners to use deadly force against unlawful intruders.[61]

During the 2020 legislative session and following the 2018 Capital Gazette shooting, Parrott introduced a bill that would restore the death penalty in cases of mass murder. The bill, which was named the Capital Gazette Shooting Memorial Act, was criticized by relatives of victims of the mass shooting.[62] He also said he opposed a bill that would require background checks for long gun purchases.[63]

Health care edit

In November 2019, Parrott said he opposed the Affordable Care Act, saying it should be repealed and replaced.[46]

In May 2020, Parrott joined a lawsuit with state delegates Dan Cox and Warren E. Miller against Governor Larry Hogan's COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, claiming that his orders violated the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.[64][65] In May 2020, the lawsuit was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake.[66] Plaintiffs of the lawsuit initially appealed Blake's ruling, but withdrew the lawsuit altogether in July 2020.[67] In November 2021, he criticized COVID-19 vaccine mandates, saying at a campaign rally that people should "have a choice whether they want to get vaccinated against COVID-19".[30]

In November 2020, Parrott said he opposed legalizing medical marijuana, believing that it would lead to the legalization of recreational marijuana, thereby leading to increased traffic accidents.[68]

Immigration edit

In March 2019, Parrott introduced an amendment to the state budget that would require the Maryland Department of Health to confirm an individual's immigration status before granting Medicaid benefits. The amendment was rejected by a 41-98 vote.[69]

In November 2019, Parrott blamed undocumented immigrants at the Mexico–United States border for the opioid epidemic, and said he would support closing the border.[26] He also said he supported a physical or electronic southern border to stop illegal immigration.[46]

Minimum wage edit

During the 2014 legislative session, Parrott introduced a bill that would allow individual counties to set their own minimum wage rates. The bill was seen as a response to Governor O'Malley's proposal to raise the state minimum wage to $10.10 an hour by 2016.[70] He introduced the bill in 2019 in response to bills that would raise the state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026,[71] later unsuccessfully attempting to amend the $15 minimum wage bill to add his county-by-county minimum wage bill.[72]

National politics edit

In 2016, Parrott unsuccessfully ran for delegate to the Republican National Convention, pledged to U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.[73] In November 2019, Parrott predicted that the impeachment of Donald Trump would backfire on national Democrats, comparing it to how Republicans backfired from the impeachment of Bill Clinton.[26] He supported President Donald Trump's reelection bid in 2020, participating in a "Trump Bus" rally in September 2020.[74]

Following the 2020 United States presidential election, Parrott traveled to Pennsylvania to observe ballots being counted. Following the 2021 U.S. Capitol attack, he said the majority of attendees at the preceding rally "were simply there to support fair elections", and were unaware "that some people were going to try to take over the rally and make it violent".[75] In July 2022, Parrott said he would have voted against certifying the election results in Pennsylvania and Arizona.[76] In February 2024, he said he opposed removing Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential election ballot under the Fourteenth Amendment, saying that he believed that the January 6 Capitol attack was not an insurrection.[51]

Policing edit

During the 2014 legislative session, Parrott introduced a bill that would require law enforcement officers to read individuals their Miranda rights during a traffic stop and search.[77]

In 2020, Parrott introduced legislation that would exempt law enforcement officers who live in Maryland but work in other states from taking handgun training.[78]

Social issues edit

In March 2005, Parrott wrote a letter to the editor for The Herald-Mail arguing that HIV-positive patients who are given life-saving medication should be tattooed "in a spot covered by a bathing suit" to prevent potential sex partners from becoming unknowingly infected. During his run for the Maryland House of Delegates in 2010, he said he no longer supported the idea, citing advancements made in medicine to treat HIV.[4][50][79] Parrott responded similarly to David Trone raising the issue in the 2022 congressional campaign.[79][80]

During the 2014 legislative session, Parrott opposed a bill to ban discrimination against transgender Marylanders in housing and employment, claiming it would "radically change our society and put our families and children at risk".[81] He also introduced a bill that would withhold state funding from colleges that offer gender-neutral housing, which failed to pass out of committee.[82] In 2018, Parrott opposed a bill that would ban conversion therapy, claiming that it violated the First Amendment.[83]

In 2017, Parrott opposed a federal bill that would remove a statue of Robert E. Lee from Antietam National Battlefield, claiming that its sponsors were "progressive Democrats who are trying to erase history".[84]

In 2019, Parrott introduced a legislation that would declare exposure to pornography as a public health crisis. The bill failed to move out of committee.[85]

In November 2019, Parrott said he supported welfare reform.[46]

Taxes edit

In January 2012, Parrott said he opposed a bill levying a sales tax on digital purchases, which he called an "app tax".[86] In March 2020, he said he supported the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.[87]

Personal life edit

Parrott got engaged to his wife, April (née Wise), in March 1999, and married in July.[88] Together, they have three children, including two daughters and a son. He describes himself as a devout Christian.[4]
