In this episode of Across the Aisle, former Maryland State Senator Bobby Zirkin speaks with former colleague Senator Michael Hough about public service, bipartisanship, criminal justice reform, immigration, elections, and the future of politics.
Zirkin and Hough reflect on their years in the Maryland General Assembly and the value of relationships that cross party lines. A major focus of the conversation is criminal justice reform, including the bipartisan Justice Reinvestment Act. They discuss efforts to reduce unnecessary incarceration, expand treatment and rehabilitation, improve supervision, and maintain accountability for violent offenders. They emphasize the importance of practical solutions over partisan politics.
Immigration is another key topic. Hough discusses his work with NumbersUSA and his views on balancing border enforcement with legal immigration pathways. He and Zirkin debate sanctuary policies, federal-local cooperation, and the need for comprehensive reform.
The episode also covers Maryland politics, including Governor Wes Moore’s administration, state spending, public safety, and juvenile justice. Zirkin and Hough highlight evidence-based approaches centered on early intervention, education, mentorship, and rehabilitation.
