Mandel, Marvin, 1920-2015
Marvin Mandel (April 19, 1920 – August 30, 2015) was an American politician and lawyer. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 56th Governor of Maryland from January 7, 1969, to January 17, 1979. He was Maryland's first, and to date, only Jewish governor.
Born in Baltimore, he attended public schools, Baltimore City College, The Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland at College Park, where he earned a B.A. and the University of Maryland School of Law, where he earned an LL.B. Admitted to the Maryland bar, he practiced in Baltimore. Mandel was a member of the Maryland House of Delegates from 1952 to 1969, serving as Speaker from 1964 to 1969. Following the election of Governor Spiro Agnew as Vice President, Mandel was elected to succeed him on January 7, 1969 by the joint vote of both houses of the Maryland General Assembly as the state did not have a lieutenant governor at that time; the office was created the following year. Mandel's executive administration was notable for many reasons. The executive branch of the state government was reorganized, mass transit was expanded, new public schools were constructed, and Mandel helped to grow Maryland business, attracting hundreds of businesses that would eventually create more than a hundred thousand jobs.
