Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Melvin ‘Mickey’ Steinberg dies at 92
MARYLAND (WBFF) — Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Melvin “Mickey” Steinberg, a Baltimore Democrat who spent nearly three decades in state government and later worked as a lobbyist, died Tuesday. He was 92.
Mr. Steinberg served in the Maryland Senate for 20 years, including as Senate president from 1983 to 1987. From 1987 to 1995, he was lieutenant governor under the late Gov. William Donald Schaefer.
Baltimore attorney Alan Rifkin, a longtime friend and former colleague, who described Mr. Steinberg as “an awesome and kind man,” confirmed his death to The Baltimore Sun in a Tuesday evening email.
“Mickey was one of a kind,” Rifkin said in a Wednesday statement on behalf of his law firm. “Mickey’s ability to bring people together and forge consensus with brilliance, humor, dedication and compassion for others was truly remarkable.”

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Maryland State Del. Nino Mangione was picked over the weekend to serve as the County Council’s newest member.
The move came Saturday, when the two-person Baltimore County Republican Central Committee held a public hearing and a vote at the Holiday Inn Timonium.
Mangione was one of seven candidates vying to fill the 3rd District seat left vacant in May by Councilman Wade Kach, who resigned due to health issues after serving on the County Council for more than 11 years.
Other candidates who competed for the 3rd District seat included Todd Huff, Lynne Jones, Tim Braue, Eric Rockel, Gerard Wittstadt, and E.J. McNulty.
Mangione was the only figure who simultaneously ran for a council seat in this year’s election bid. He is also running as a 5th District candidate, which includes most of the current 3rd District.
The county is operating under a new redistricting map that was approved for the 2026 election cycle last year. The map was passed in a 5-2 vote.
Baltimore County will hold its primary election on June 23.
