In addition to serving as a delegate, McConkey is also a real estate broker and property manager for Aegis Management.
As a member of the Republican Party in the Maryland House of Delegates, he serves as Deputy Minority Whip. He is a member of the Judiciary Committee.
McConkey fought in March 2007 to allow for an elected school board in Anne Arundel County. However, a bill was passed that allowed the Governor to select the members from a list. McConkey and Warren Miller were the only dissenting votes.[2]
Another issue that McConkey advocates is limiting privileges for illegal immigrants. He co-sponsored a bill in the House, similar to the one submitted by State Senator Greenip that would require driver's license applicants to prove they are citizens of the United States.[3] Currently, Maryland is one of several states that does not demand proof of citizenship to obtain a driver's license.[4]
