Career
In addition to serving as a delegate, McConkey is also a real estate broker and property manager for Sell DC Real Estate.
As a member of the Republican Party in the Maryland House of Delegates, he serves as Ranking Member on the House Appropriations Committee.
In 1995, McConkey agreed to be disbarred[2]
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.[3]
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.[4] Currently, Maryland is one of several states that does not demand proof of citizenship to obtain a driver's license.[5]
McConkey's real estate license was suspended[6] in 2010 after he pleaded guilty to violating laws that protect homeowners during foreclosure. In 2013, he was reprimanded by the House for introducing legislation that would have personally benefited him.[7]
