Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day: Michael Hough [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Welcome to what is the 1262nd original profile here at “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day”, where we’ll be profiling former Maryland State Senator Michael Hough, a former legislative aide to Congressman Alex Mooney before he carpet-bagged over to West Virginia to run for Congress. Hough spent four years in the Maryland House before moving on to serve eight as the senator for Maryland’s 4th District, and rose to be the state chair of ALEC in Maryland. And while his whole voting record was a problem, including voting against reforms to curtail excessive police violence after the death of Freddie Gray, or against minimum wage increases…
Our main reason for profiling him is that during his tenure, he helped block passage of a law that would increase the statute of limitations on childhood sex abuse victims and allow many individuals seeking justice for abuse they endured. It was only after he was off the Judicial Proceedings Committee that reforms could be made.When you’re helping members of the church avoid facing consequences for sex abuse, maybe that’s a sign you shouldn’t continue to be re-elected.
And luckily, in 2022, when Hough made a run for Frederick County executive, he was narrowly defeated by less than a thousand votes by Jessica Fitzwater. We would like to wish him our deepest “GOOD RIDDANCE” salutes at this time, and hope that the people he was preventing from getting justice can now do so.
