Jazz M. Lewis is a public policy leader, strategist, and proud Prince George’s County native who has spent his career advancing economic opportunity, strengthening Maryland’s communities, and championing policies that support working families.

Lewis brings more than a decade of experience in state, federal, and national public policy, including senior leadership roles in the Maryland General Assembly, on Capitol Hill, and in one of the country’s most influential labor–environment coalitions.

Most recently, Lewis served as the Legislative Director of the BlueGreen Alliance, where he led the organization’s national legislative strategy for clean manufacturing, industrial policy, workforce development, and trade. At BGA, Lewis helped guide federal implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and played a key role in building and coordinating the Alliance’s IRA Defense Campaign, which safeguarded essential climate, manufacturing, and job-creation provisions during a period of intense federal scrutiny. Under his leadership, BGA strengthened its presence on Capitol Hill, deepened relationships with federal agencies, and advanced major national initiatives connecting climate action with economic security.

Before joining the BlueGreen Alliance, Lewis spent several years working for Congressman Steny H. Hoyer, first as the Executive Director of Hoyer for Congress and later as a Senior Policy Advisor in the U.S. House of Representatives. In his federal role, he advised the House Majority Leader on issues including workforce policy, economic development, criminal justice reform, and public safety, and supported the development of legislative and political strategy across the Democratic Caucus.

Lewis was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2017, representing District 24 in Prince George’s County. In 2023, he was appointed House Majority Whip by former Speaker Adrienne Jones, becoming the youngest member to hold the position in state history. As Whip, he helped lead the chamber through some of its most significant legislative accomplishments.

Throughout his legislative tenure, Lewis was also a leading champion for economic development and community revitalization in Prince George’s County. He secured historic investments for the Blue Line Corridor, including hundreds of millions of dollars for infrastructure, small business development, public spaces, and transit-oriented growth. He consistently delivered funding for local schools, healthcare centers, parks, and community organizations, and played a key role in the development of regional strategies to promote jobs, housing, and equitable economic growth.

Lewis is a proud two-time graduate of the University of Maryland, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Government and Politics and a Master of Public Policy. As an undergraduate, he was a student in the College Park Scholars Public Leadership Program, an experience he credits with launching his career in public service.

A lifelong resident of Prince George’s County, Lewis remains deeply committed to Maryland’s future and to the power of public institutions to expand opportunity.
