James Edward Malone Jr.[1] (July 8, 1957 – December 16, 2024) was an American politician from Maryland and a member of the Democratic Party. He served in the Maryland House of Delegates, representing Maryland's District 12A in Baltimore and Howard Counties from 1995 to 2014. Malone went on to serve as director of the Harford County Department of Parks and Recreation from 2014 to 2016.

Early life and education

Malone was born in Baltimore, Maryland on July 8, 1957, to Margaret Ann Daniels and James E. Malone, a 34-year railroad worker for the Western Maryland Railroad who served in the Maryland House of Delegates for 12 years and later became the sheriff of Baltimore County.[2] He is of Irish descent.[3]

Malone graduated from Cardinal Gibbons High School, afterwards attending Catonsville Community College, where he earned an Associate of Arts degree in 1986. After graduating, Malone worked as a firefighter for the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department, becoming the department's youngest ever president in 1979, and the Baltimore County Fire Department, retiring in March 2007.[4] Malone later joined the Susquehanna House Company Division 5 after moving to Harford County.[2]

Maryland House of Delegates

Malone was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1994, where he represented Baltimore and Howard counties. He was a member of the Commerce and Government Matters Committee until 2003, afterwards serving as the vice chair of the House Environmental Matters Committee until his resignation. In the legislature, Malone was known for his work on highway and road safety issues, as well as firefighter safety regulations targeting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in protective gear. He was also known for prank calling other delegates during floor debates and for "throwing votes" on bills in committee, to the irritation of committee chair John F. Wood Jr.[2]

Personal life and death

Malone was married to his wife, Darlene. Together, they had two children, James Malone III and Danica Crum.[2]

Malone is a leukemia survivor.[3] He died in Havre de Grace, Maryland,[4] from brain cancer on December 16, 2024, at the age of 67.[3]
