}}Michael Erin Busch[1] (born January 4, 1947) is the current Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates in the United States. Busch has been a member of the House since 1987, and Speaker since January 2003. He represents District 30A, which encompasses parts of Anne Arundel County, including the state capital of Annapolis.[2]

Background

Busch was pursued by the National Football League as a running back, prior to a knee injury. Busch then returned to Maryland to coach athletics and teach.

He is married to Cynthia Abbott Busch, with whom he has two children: Erin and Megan and he is an active member of Heritage Baptist Church in Annapolis.[4]

After winning election in 1986 to the House of Delegates, Busch served on the Judiciary Committee, the Economic Matters Committee, which he later chaired, and as Chairman of the Anne Arundel County Delegation.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}}

At the beginning of the 2003 session of the Maryland Legislature, Busch was elected, by his colleagues in the Maryland House of Delegates, Speaker of the House. Speaker Busch is known for his interest in the areas of health, insurance, and economic development, with a focus on health care.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}} During the 2007 legislative session, he sponsored a bill with other members of the leadership, the Children and Working Families Healthcare Act of 2007, which proposed to provide health care access to 250,000 Marylanders and all children in the state.[5]
