AARP Maryland’s 2026 Legislative Priorities: Fighting for Marylanders 50+ and Their Families

With more than 800,000 members across the state, AARP Maryland advocates on issues that matter most to Marylanders age 50-plus and their families.

Capitol Care

We are working to:

  • Support family caregivers 
  • Make improvements to long-term care 
  • Elevate brain health and dementia education 
  • Address rising utility costs 
  • Protect Marylanders from fraud and financial exploitation 

Our Volunteer Advocates: The Heart of Our Mission

In 2026, our volunteer advocates from across the state will keep fighting to ensure legislators take action on the issues that matter to Maryland families. They meet with lawmakers, share personal stories, and make sure the voices of Marylanders 50+ are heard where decisions are made.

2026 Legislative Priorities

Our commitment is clear:

  • Family Caregivers – Providing resources and support 
  • Long-Term Care – Improving quality and oversight
  • Brain Health – Promoting education and awareness 
  • Utility Costs – Fighting for fair rates 
  • Fraud Prevention – Protecting older adults from scams 

Our Commitment to Action

AARP Maryland is dedicated to making real progress in these areas for older adults and their families. Together, we make Maryland a place where every resident has the resources and protections they need to thrive—regardless of age.
