I attended Howard County public schools and after graduating from Wilde Lake High, obtained a bioelectric engineering degree from Harvard and my medical degree from Columbia. After completing my training in plastic and reconstructive surgery, I returned home and for more than 30 years have provided medical care to my community.

I felt called to do more and I won election to the MD House where I have served since 2015. I am running for Congress to bring a missing voice to MD’s 10 person all male delegation. As a surgeon and small business owner of a clinical practice, I am sensitive to how economic and health policy impacts families and communities and have had the privilege of being their advocate. Representation in the halls of power is critical and I will leverage my unique background and scientist’s perspective to address issues that advance federal policies rooted in science, facts, and compassion. I look for root causes and sustainable solutions.

Of the 535 members of Congress only 19 are doctors and only 3 are women. That’s a problem. We are facing one of the greatest challenges we’ve seen in the healthcare front - high prices of prescription drugs, inaccessible care, opioid additions and mental health emergencies and we don’t have the people with lived experience over a broader front to address it. Everyone’s been a patient but not everyone’s been a doctor or a nurse. We need more medical professionals to inform the discussion and help make thoughtful decisions.
  • Reclaiming rights lost and protecting those at risk (or under attack) including the right of privacy and bodily autonomy in healthcare, abortion and other reproductive decisions, voters' rights, civil rights, human rights and holding up democracy is my top priority. A major motivating factor in my decision to run for Congress, and a pilar of my campaign platform, is my view of reproductive justice as a fundamental civil and human right and my focus on preventing further erosion of reproductive rights across the nation.
  • Healthcare and addressing these issues: high cost of prescription drugs and general healthcare; disparities along racial, ethnic, economic and residency status; inadequate access; lack of behavioral and somatic health parity; increasing stock profits with decreasing provider benefits; overruling medical decisions by carriers to serve the bottom line rather than serving the patient; overly burdensome prior authorizations and other requirements that inappropriately substitute the insurer's or system's judgment for that of the provider. I have provided medical care to patients throughout my community and seen firsthand the barriers to care my patients face. I am committed to listening, evaluating and executing effective solutions.
  • Economic uncertainty - despite record low unemployment and increasing wage compensation, housing is unaffordable and the wealth gap is widening. At a time when families across the country and dealing with rising costs, I am committed to push for and enact policies to create a more just economy for all. I am a "barrier reducer" working to address the myriad of obstacles people encounter that prevent them from living fulfilling and prosperous lives.
As a physician and scientist, my passion is in areas related to healthcare and science.
Elected officials should have honesty, passion, integrity and a willingness to listen and serve. These are all qualities go deep with me. I come from a family where caring for others is the expectation, not an option … It was engrained in me that service is the price we pay to be on this earth. Whether treating burn patients in the ER, making house calls on bed ridden seniors, performing reconstructive surgery on trauma and cancer patients, or volunteering for international missions to perform cleft surgery, the work is more than a job, it is a way to serve others. I brought this attitude to the Maryland House of Delegate and it would continue with me in the hall of Congress.
I was one of the founders of the Thurgood Marshall Democratic Club in Columbia and follow his lead in how I would like to be remembered "Terri Hill did the best she could with what she had."

Health Care

Even when people have insurance coverage, the out of control cost of premiums, co-pays, deductibles, and prescription drugs are killing them. The back and forth in Washington doesn’t help and has far too many worried about getting any kind of coverage at all. I will be able to contribute constructively to Congress finding a solution that works.

I have experienced America’s health care system from every side – as a patient, legislator, caregiver, family member and physician. That unique experience will continue to inform my legislative work as I take my fight to ensure that every person has access to quality, affordable healthcare, including mental healthcare, to the federal level. I will also continue my work to reduce prescription drug costs, facilitate the development of new, promising solutions to addiction through clinical research, and as only the second female doctor in Congress, I would keep up the fight for reproductive health and abortion rights.


Environment

There aren’t many scientists in Congress, which may be why we have all been forced to suffer through years of anti-science policies passed by climate change deniers. As a scientist, I see the evidence of climate change to be overwhelming and alarming. In Congress I will employ facts and data to pursue right-sized solutions to address this generational problem. I will also push for policies that encourage future generations to acquire the analytical skills necessary to solve problems and compete in a 21st century economy.

Climate change is an environmental justice issue that unfairly burdens poor and urban communities causing higher rates of chronic health conditions, such as asthma, and contributing to rising heat-related mortality. I am committed to ensuring that federal investments and funding are commensurate with the need, reflect a correction for the disproportionate burden borne by these communities over multiple generations, and are committed for the many years required to effect the needed changes and sustained results.

In October I filed a joint resolution asking the General Assembly of Maryland to officially declare a climate emergency, the first step needed for rapid response. We must take action now, in order to survive climate change and address its disproportionate impact on our poor and urban communities. In Congress, I will continue and expand my legislative initiatives to address the root causes of climate change and address its impact including to: decrease energy consumption; reduce emissions; conserve forests; add tree canopy and improve water quality.


Justice

Every American is afforded basic rights by our Constitution, but those rights are under daily attack by the Trump Administration, some members of Congress and even some in the judiciary. As Congresswoman, I will lead the fight to reestablish the civil rights protections that have been eroded and erased by this administration, to ensure no voter is disenfranchised, every person is treated justly by our legal system and the fundamental American values of equity, opportunity, fairness and respect for human dignity are upheld.[4]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Maryland

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
