Neil Parrott

That year, his organization was successful in putting three laws on the ballot for repeal — same-sex marriage, in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants, and a proposed Congressional redistricting map —but all three were upheld by Maryland voters.

Two later petition attempts by the organization — a 2013 bill abolishing the death penalty in Maryland, and a 2014 bill regarding certain protections for transgender Marylanders, nicknamed "the Bathroom Bill" by its detractors — fell short of the threshold to get on the ballot.

Due to the State's legislative redistricting passed in 2012, but not taking effect until after the 2014 General Elections, District 2B and District 2A were combined to create one district. This created a two-at-large member district, District 2A. After winning re-election in his new district in 2014, Parrott continued to serve on the House Judiciary Committee.

In 2012, Parrott founded an organization, MDPetitions.com, to coordinate petitioning laws he opposes to be placed on ballot initiatives.

Parrott was sworn in as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates in January 2011. He was assigned to the House Judiciary Committee.

Born and raised in Maryland, Parrott graduated from Old Mill High School in 1988. He went on to the University of Maryland at College Park where he graduated with a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering in 1994; he subsequently obtained his Professional Engineers License in 2000. He later attended graduate school and in 2006 graduated from Mount Saint Mary's University with an MBA.
