David Fraser-Hidalgo (born November 25, 1969) is an Ecuadorian-born American politician and a member of the Maryland House of Delegates representing District 15 in Montgomery County, Maryland. Maryland's Legislative District 15 is Montgomery County's largest district both in terms of geographic area and population and includes Boyds, Clarksburg, Darnestown, Germantown, Poolesville, Potomac, Dickerson, Barnesville, Beallsville as well as parts of Gaithersburg, North Potomac, and Rockville. Delegate Fraser-Hidalgo was appointed to complete the term of Brian J. Feldman following Feldman's appointment to a Senate seat.[1]

Early life and education

Fraser-Hidalgo was born November 25, 1969 in Quito, Ecuador. He grew up in Montgomery County, Maryland, attending Albert Einstein High School in Kensington, Maryland. In 1992, he earned a B.A. in History from St. Mary's College of Maryland.

For three years, Fraser-Hidalgo served as a police officer in Montgomery County before leaving the police force and entering the business world. He has worked for a number of firms, most recently as an area sales director for Regus. He has also been involved in a variety of volunteer activities in the county, including as a leader in the Boyds Civic Association and stints on the boards of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Fraser-Hidalgo is married and has two children.[1]

Career

Maryland Legislature

In 2013, the retirement of Senator Robert J. Garagiola from the Maryland Senate prompted the appointment of Delegate Brian J. Feldman to fill the remainder of Garagiola's term. This left an open Delegate seat, which was contested by a number of applicants. Fraser-Hidalgo won the final vote of the Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee by a close margin, and on October 21, 2013 was appointed by Governor Martin O'Malley to fill the seat.[2]
