Maryland Treasurer Dereck E. Davis (D), who became the state’s second Black treasurer in December, has been selected for a national program designed to bridge the partisan divide in politics.
His office announced Tuesday the 55-year-old Prince George’s County resident will participate in the 2023 Rodel Fellowship program managed by the Aspen Institute.
The leadership program, founded in 2005, selects 24 state and local leaders — half Democrats and half Republicans — to participate in a series of seminars over a two-year period. The Aspen Institute believes each person chosen will seek to work to reduce partisan rancor and push for civil discourse.
