Melvin Steinberg


Melvin A. Steinberg, born October 4, 1933 (1933-10-04) (age 78), served as the fifth Lieutenant Governor of Maryland from 1987 to 1995[1] under Governor William Donald Schaefer. He was also President of the Maryland State Senate from January 1983 to 1987, and a member of the State Senate from 1967 until his election to the position of Lieutenant Governor.[1] Steinberg graduated from the University of Baltimore with an A.A. degree in 1952 and with a J.D. degree in 1955.[1]

The relationship between Steinberg and Schaefer was strained, with each publicly criticising the other[2][3][4][5] and extensive coverage being devoted to their personal relationship.[6][7] Despite their differences, they worked together for eight years (1987–1995), winning two elections in the process. Steinberg ran for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 1994[8] launching his campaign pledgind a war on crime,[9] but was defeated by Parris Glendening, who went on to become Governor. Steinberg then took up a career in lobbying.[10] In 1998, he drew criticism for supporting the Republican candidate for Governor, Ellen Sauerbrey, rather than endorsing Glendening in his bid for re-election; Sauerbrey was a critic of abortion and of gun control, positions opposite those held by liberal Steinberg.[11]
