Del. Jay Jalisi (D-Baltimore County) allegedly told staffers they were “stupid” and “incompetent.”

Hernández Reporter covering politics and government in Prince George's County and Maryland Email Bio Follow Ovetta Wiggins Ovetta Wiggins Local reporter covering Maryland state politics Email Bio Follow March 25 at 11:33 PM A Maryland lawmaker is facing discipline from the House of Delegates after an ethics committee investigation found he had subjected his staff — particularly female employees — to bullying and verbal and emotional abuse.
The report on Jalisi’s behavior detailed incidents dating back to 2015 — Jalisi’s first year in office — in which aides complained that he forced staffers to work long hours without compensation, yelled at them and treated them as truant if they went to the restroom or to get lunch. At least one incident escalated to the point where state troopers had to intervene.
Del. Mary Ann Lisanti “The Ethics Committee cannot simply stand by and allow a member to continue to use his stature as a legislator to act inappropriately and abuse and retaliate against staff,” the report said. Jalisi’s “actions have brought dishonor on this Body.” The report says legislative leaders documented multiple attempts to address Jalisi’s conduct. Bush told him in August that he would not have access to paid General Assembly staff if he did not participate in programs to improve his behavior.
In 2015, a judge ordered Jalisi to stay away from his teenage daughter after an alleged domestic violence altercation. He was subsequently reassigned out of the House Judiciary Committee, a panel that oversees domestic violence legislation. Last year, Del. Curtis S. Anderson was stripped of his leadership positions after the ethics committee found he had made inappropriate sexual comments. The ethics committee also investigated a 14-year-old sexual assault claim against Anderson but was unable to determine if the allegation was true.
