Nestor Aparicio 00:00
Welcome home. We are W, N, S, T, AM, 1570 tasks Baltimore. We are Baltimore, positive. We’re positively down here in Ocean City. Tell you what, when you come to Ocean City, it’s big swag fest here at at Mako. Even Bill Coles in on the swag. He’s got, like an album that says Cole roofing on us. I just want to give him some love. Our friends at the Maryland lottery, Lucky sevens, doublers, as well as pressing your luck, this guy’s not going to put the whammy on me. My one time intern, employee, friend and long time associate, has graduated into the world of government. You know? I mean, I think Sean Stinnett, if there was a question as to whether I could be a duly elected official, or whether you would be an appointed elected official who’s going to become a duly elected official, chances are probably good that you would have been the official before me. You know, like you’re probably more qualified to be a politician than me. Probably How you doing?
Sean Stinnett 00:53
I’m doing good. I’m doing great. You know, I feel like I’m back at home, back at home, at W offering you
Nestor Aparicio 00:59
over the studio, and that would be more you smell different over there. Nice lunch here. How are you now delegate, Maryland, General Assembly. How did you go from Citizen? Sean Stinnett, I looked up and I’m like, and you’re like, I’m gonna be delegate. And I’m like, Yeah, give everyone that story, because I don’t know that people even know how well we know each other, or that you worked here turn of the century, on and in. And I’ve known you 2025, years, and you were a guy that came to me and said, I think I want to work in media. I want to make a difference in the world. I mean, you’ve always been like a community shaper. So this is a I can’t think of anybody better serving the government.
Sean Stinnett 01:33
8I appreciate it. And I remember that day when you and I had had a conversation, you said, look, we got to talk. We got to meet each other and so forth. And we had lunch over at the Mount Washington tavern, which is actually in my current district that I represent now. So that’s perfect, and I’m glad that we solicited one of our great businesses in the 41st district.
Nestor Aparicio 01:55
Well, your memory’s better than mine at this point. So what year was that that Whoa,
Sean Stinnett 01:59
and then you talking? That had to be, I would say, probably, What? What? 2020 I ran that time. 20. I’m sorry, not 2020 I ran early. What? 2000s had to be.
Nestor Aparicio 02:14
2000 Yeah. I mean, I feel like I’ve known you today. It’s yeah, yeah. So tell everybody what you’ve done since you left me 10 years ago, right? And, I mean, you were always on the streets of Baltimore, yeah, trying to make a difference. I’m talking about Freddie Gray. I’m talking about all the marches you were involved in the city and in youth and in really helping people, man, I mean, that’s
8Sean Stinnett 02:37
who you are, right? I mean, that’s just something that I enjoy doing, as far as doing service, doing, you know, work in the community. You know that that’s where got me, that’s who, as far as the my community, my people, is really the reason why I’m here in this position. You know, the opportunity presented, presented itself just by way of Senator, then Senator Jill Carter, she got appointed by the governor, as far as being a judge within contract Court of Appeals, which opened that position. And then from there, the current senator, Senator Dalia Tarr, got selected in that position, which left her position open as delegate. And then it was I was one out of 12 individuals who had submitted their resume and interviewed for the position. It’s just that my collective of work as far as within the community and being consistent every since that about 810, years ago, when I ran originally and lost, but I stayed within the community and stayed within as far as my overall district, let alone Baltimore City. Yeah, I did run. I did run, and learned a lot and understood as far as what it takes, as far as overall, as far as doing having a successful campaign, you know. So I learned a lot from that experience
Nestor Aparicio 03:50
what’s unique. So tell me what a delegate is. Let’s, let’s do Schoolhouse Rock here. Yeah,
Sean Stinnett 03:54
right, right state. Delegate is pretty much an individual who puts, who’s in the position of legislate policy, you know, be able to create certain bills as far as not only bills that are affect as far as the Maryland residents, but even bills, certain bills that affects certain parts of their district, or certain, you know, individuals within the districts. Like there’s a lot of bills that that that reflects as far as the youth, and a lot of bills that reflects as far as business owners and so forth. So we’re putting that position as far as to be able to legislate policy in regards to bills that affects business owners, youth, older adults and so
Nestor Aparicio 04:29
8forth. Unique to be sort of appointed, right, right, right. I mean, you want to be elected, you’re gonna write again right away if you want to contribute. This is my dude. Shawn Stinnett, Sean stene calm, yeah, there you go. That’s two inch suits. So give me your district. Tell me. Tell me what you represent, who you represent, what you’re trying to get done in Annapolis, short track, you’ve been less than a year, right? Yeah,
Sean Stinnett 04:51
less than a year. Actually, the governor appointed me in February. I got sworn in in March. Okay, so I’ve came in. It’s pretty much sort of like last third, yeah, last third of the set. So really, that was sort of, you know, an exhilarating experience, you know, not overwhelming and so forth. But, I mean, it was so many, so many things. Was certainly thrown at me all at once, of course, you know, I came in like two, two weeks prior to Bill cross, and outside of that, I even now serve on the Judiciary Committee, which is a total experience within itself as well. So it’s just been sort of fast paced as far as everything has been going on. Also, not only serve on the Judiciary Committee, but I’m also a member of the Legislative Black Caucus. I’m a member of the Maryland veteran caucus, and also at Maryland of the Latino Caucus. That’s my people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I gotta, I gotta feel that I needed to put myself in the position to be able to represent what my constituents look like as a whole, and those three areas that we have a lot of strong population as far as within the Latino community, as well as, like I said, the veteran community, and then, of course, Legislative Black Caucus. And also, I say that also represent the Muslim community as well, because we have a large population of the Muslim community within our
Nestor Aparicio 06:02
district, your district. Let’s talk about a border, east, west, north, south, where, yeah,
Sean Stinnett 06:06
we’re over so, so just to give you an idea, like Roland Park, all we over to this the more south side as far as Irvington. So we pretty much are in parts of north, north Baltimore City, Northwestern, where I reside in, as well as southwest, southwestern part of Baltimore City. So it’s more of like the Baltimore City County line, but we’re on the quick Forest Park, Forest Park, Irvington, Edmonton village, uplands, of course, as far as Roland Park, Mount Washington, chess wall, you know, West Arlington and so forth. You find a crab cake
8Nestor Aparicio 06:37
somewhere near you. And me, oh, you find great crab cakes. Johnston. Ed is here delegate, Johnston Ed my former intern, friend, employee. All not former friend, still friend. I’m allowed to be friends with delegates getting elected and running now, and that on top of the plate of doing the work. I’ve always found that to be the interesting part for anybody who wants to do this work that, I mean for me, when I was going to run for mayor, you know, I was unorthodox. I wasn’t going to ask for money. I was going short track it. I was going to independent, get signatures and run against Sheila. Had that gone that way, it didn’t go that way, and my whole jam would have been like, I’m not running again, right? I’m gonna run once. If y’all want me, I’m maybe I’ll keep it again, but I’m not like the running part of asking people for money and hosting dinners again like that’s always been the part that makes me itch about politics tonight. Mark elrich here, montgomery county executive, who talked about winning an election with $1 million against a $24 million war chest. Anyone that I feel like there’s some authenticity coming back, that a guy like you, you might not need a billion dollars to win, because you’ll go out and knock door, shake hands, do but in addition to that, doing the work, yeah, she’s been Annapolis,
Sean Stinnett 07:50
right, right, right, and that’s clearly what it I think the advantage that I have. And of course, you know, with the election coming up, you’re going to have everybody, anybody, as far as make their former announcement, but has been disconnected from the community, with the neighbors within that district they want to represent, and that’s where I can say that I’m very different from even though that about eight, almost 10 years ago, that I’ve lost my race as delegate, but I stayed within my neighbor. I stayed within my district in Baltimore City, and being active and fluent and had everybody see me. So I’m not a person that’s going to be coming in saying, hey, yeah, you haven’t seen me in 10 years, but I’m asking for your vote. I’m in charge exactly they consistently, and that’s what I think that the people really needs and wants, as far as they want to see some consistency. They don’t want to see somebody just coming into the neighborhood saying, Hey, I’m just coming around because I want your vote now I’m not going to see you for another four years. You know, I clearly telling them proud of telling people exactly where I live. I live right on the corner, you know, in West Arlington or Hillsdale and elder on. So it’s like, I’m not hard to find, let alone you can find me there, but as well as you can find me in the community, as well dealing with youth, older adults, business owners and so forth. Because, you know my, you know my background is business development overall, because that’s what I do for Maryland Department general services. But overall, I just stay consistent.
Nestor Aparicio 09:03
Um, when you say that, what would constituent services? What does that mean to a delegate? When you’re out, somebody’s got a political question of this or that a government quite they come up, what is the thing you hear the most, where you feel like you can be effective? You know, where you’re gonna put a bill together one day and say, this is effed up. I need, you know, everybody in my day, you know, everybody’s beating on me about this. This is the thing that’s important to my
Sean Stinnett 09:25
8people, right? Yeah, well, the one thing is this, I, you know, and I definitely, I agree what you’re saying. Do hear a small pocket of folks as far as when they understand, as far as the difference between, you know, a state delegate as well as somebody from the local municipality, like a council, city council, yeah, because a lot of times we get, we need
Nestor Aparicio 09:45
Schoolhouse Rock in this country, I’ve seen who’s running it, right? We’re not educated enough, right?
Sean Stinnett 09:53
Exactly, you know. And a lot of people don’t understand, don’t know that. You know, you could register, you register to vote when you’re. 16 years old, you just can’t vote until you’re 18. But you can already, sort of had that leeway, as far as our, you know, have your your voter registration already ready to go, and then when you turn 18,
Nestor Aparicio 10:10
you’re ready, you and Brandon, that was part of your deal will help Brandon get elected, is, oh yes, just registering people to
8Sean Stinnett 10:15
vote, to bring people to vote, you know, on a consistent basis. I mean, that’s, that’s the key, but it’s just overall, I think that, you know, just educating folks as far as what the difference is, however, still, if they have those local issues, you take we don’t we take them, we take them. And that’s what the partnership is all about, as far as, not only on my level, but on the city council level, dealing with, you know, my representatives, Councilwoman, Vice President, Sharon green Middleton, as well as my neighborhood, West Arlington, shares five and six. So we have a partnership, a relationship with Councilman sleifer and so forth. And then, or over in the Eighth District, as far as within, when you look at the district, we have Councilman Paris gray before we had Councilman Christopher Burnett, and then we also have Councilman James Torrance, you know what I mean, so and also now with the council vice president, excuse me, Council President, as far as the Cohen and before was Nick Mosby. So we make sure that we have that collaborated effort, you know, that relationship and partnership with everybody, because we know that something is going to affect, you know, us on a state level, because we’re talking to constituents, and we need to make sure that we bridge that gap and be able to have that fluid conversation, to make sure that we’re addressing the needs of
Nestor Aparicio 11:22
the constituents. Well, what’s the number one need? Then what’s the thing you hear the most about as a delegate right
Sean Stinnett 11:27
now, I think that mental health. I think it, you know, a lot of things, everything
Nestor Aparicio 11:31
8in a city was crying before now, all of a sudden, it’s just sort of like, yeah, right. It’s different,
Sean Stinnett 11:35
because, you know, the pandemic really changed a lot. Changed the strong dynamics with everybody, and especially with young people being at home and sort of, at times, locked up in the house because of, you know, we didn’t know how to really, there was nothing open anyway, right? Exactly, you know, still, but people really didn’t know how, how we were going to respond in that particular manner as far as dealing with the, you know, the pandemic situation. But I think that one of the things my office is really focusing on is mental health, as far as dealing with the youth and so forth. So that’s some one of the pieces of legislation that we’re working on. As far as looking at where we can provide therapists, as far as in schools on a daily basis, yeah, just to be, just to be outlet. Because unfortunately, I had, you know, in a traumatic experience. As far as with one of my, my younger cousins in my, my, my family had committed suicide, and if you saw that, thank you, if you saw you wouldn’t even know, you know. And that’s the thing about it. We sort of have that disconnected. We don’t realize we had that disconnect. Your cousin didn’t feel like they could reach and get you right, right, right, yeah, you know, the parents, they had a dark thought, right, exactly, exactly, you know. And you do after that, and Right, right? You surround yourself with Yeah, and we just got to make sure that we have that fluid conversation and that that that connectedness and just sort of that engagement and so forth to understand and making sure that we’re responding the proper way when we deal with people that’s sort of crying out for help, but not necessarily saying I’m crying out for help,
Nestor Aparicio 12:59
mental health, all right? That’s that shocks me. Shocked me that that’s where your heart and your years. Thanks. So campaign. What’s your campaign? Sean Stinnett, yeah, can’t try to get a contribution from me. What we’ve got to, got to Sean. I’ve never given a nickel to a politician in my life. I did buy a couple rolls of stamps for Tom Harkin for President back in about 9092 when he ran against Clinton. Yeah, I have, I give airtime, and I talked, I had Chris Van Hollen or whatever, but I don’t write checks, because I don’t want to be in the middle of that. But you’re like, you’re my friends, right? Maybe buying a plate.
Sean Stinnett 13:32
I don’t call myself a politician, but I know I represent the community because that’s where my love, that’s where my work, that’s where my heart is, especially it starts at home in West Arlington, where I live at because I would not be in the position that I am in now. As far as representing as a whole, because sort of, they gave me my training ground, you know what I mean, being able to represent the right way. As far as within my
8Nestor Aparicio 13:53
hard times, too, you got a lot of challenges in your district. Oh yeah, you’ve seen you look when I was thinking of running for mayor, my wife and I left the zoo one night and we, we made a right turn out of Druid Hill Park. We went through some challenged areas that downward the drug overdoses there, right, north of, north of, north, near Pennsylvania. Right? To give you an idea where the riot all that’s right, right, I’m driving through there, and we drove through a really challenged area, yeah, and my wife turns me, she said, you know, you get to be the mayor of this part of town too, right, right? I’m aware of that, you know, and I’m not gonna fix everything here if I were the mayor, but I do think there’s a point where, like someone like you that has lived worked in West Arlington your whole life, you’re a man of the people there in the community, and you’ve been with people that where there’s been a murder, where drugs, where there’s been where there’s been Crime, where there’s been victims, where there’s been drama, right? Yeah. I mean, trauma is part of the city culture in Baltimore has been since you and I didn’t have gray
Sean Stinnett 14:49
hair, right? Exactly, dealt with on a regular basis. You know, back then, you know, of course, you know, proud member of 300 men March movement and, and I would say, just dealing with trauma. I mean, you know. My family. I had gone on vacation last week, came back, had gone back in the community because I had to get back to work that fountain that last Saturday. And then all of a sudden, in my district, we have a mass shooting. Five people got shot, including a five year old little girl, you know, to me. And I immediately had ran out and say, Look, you know, enough is enough. And not only we have to step up more as a community, but we need more find ways to de escalate certain situations. We know that it may escalate to something like that in that manner, as far as somebody picking up a gun and
Nestor Aparicio 15:32
shooting why ask you, dad, Ramos, why it’s getting better. What about it’s getting better? And I think all of you who surrounded the mayor years ago, you’re one of the mayor’s guys at that point, bought into not just safe streets, but everything that happened. I mean, the leader of safe streets, I was trying to get him on a show, he got murdered, right, right? I mean, just yeah, just Yeah. I mean, I’d heard nothing but amazing things about him. Yeah, you knew him. I never got a chance to know him. I mean, I got really upset that morning because I thought, Man, that’s like, Man, I wanted to have a show to talk about these issues and but that’s the dark side, right. Since then, we got numbers. We have data that say there’s been a lot of tragedy, but there’s been a lot of
Sean Stinnett 16:14
8progress. Oh yeah, oh yeah. It takes time. It takes time for when the mayor put out his vision, and it takes time for folks to accept that vision as well as things to execute. And I think he’s done a phenomenal job. As far as that, any, any, any proved a lot of naysayers when they thought that it wouldn’t work, that it has been working. You see the decrease as far as in homicides and shooting overall. Of course, he’s not going to,
Nestor Aparicio 16:38
you imagine saying we’re going to fix this by having young black men talk to each
Sean Stinnett 16:43
other, right, right? That’s literally
Nestor Aparicio 16:45
what this is, right. Like if I say that you can’t talk to them animals, oh, they were saying gangster. You trying to get them to deal, right? No, no, no. All of a sudden, if you communicate, show a little love, show a little kind of show the de escalation. What I didn’t understand is so many of these murders aren’t randomly looking for me walking through their neighborhood to kill me, maybe Rob whatever, if they’re a bad guy. But this was really interpersonal turf, my girl disrespect. It literally was something that in hollybird middle would be a fight on the top of the hill, maybe with knives that turns into guns, right, and turns into incredible tragedies that that is at the root. And that was what Brandon was trying to say to me years ago, like, we gotta, we gotta talk, right? We’re not just taking guns away. It’s certainly not incarcerating, right? You know, it’s providing a different, yeah, different choice in life,
8Sean Stinnett 17:44
right, right? And to me, and that, that messaging, that point, as far as it’s us, to us, you know, especially, I would say black men, as far as to go into and talk to one, start at home, because I think that’s what the key missing point, folks are not being taught and educated and really understand, as far as you know from that point, as far as you know what how you should react and what you should do overall, when certain under certain situations. But it’s as far as that I think that we as men need to really can be consistent and really do things differently and really grab in being more engaged, as far as with this use, so they can understand more on just life in general. 300 Man March, yes,
Nestor Aparicio 18:27
decade ago now, right? Yes, your involvement in that, the genesis of that. And look, man, if I were patting you on the back a whole lot, I’d say a lot of that movement. And the first time Trump around, and Freddie Gray in the breakdowns all of that. Having young black mayor, you know, a North Star for young black men in the city, I would think that the 300 men March somewhere out there. There was a 14 year old, that’s now 24 year old, who didn’t find themselves on the wrong side of progress, right? I mean, I don’t know what the genesis of the tongue. I don’t think I’ve ever talked about the 300 I knew you were involved. I don’t know that ever brought you on to even say, The hell is that? What is that? Because that was Freddie Gray related, correct? Yeah.
Sean Stinnett 19:13
Well, no, that was, we were out there before, and really not even myself, as far as the co founders as far as Munir Bahar, as well as then was Councilman Brandon Scott. But they’re, they’re the true founders as far as that organization, and this was years, years before that. They were just more on the lower scale. And of course, by their vision, it was able to expand. But when I came upon that was pre, pre Freddie Gray, we were already out. What was the message? What was, what was that we’re going to do? What? We must stop killing each other. Got it perfect. Okay, we must stop killing each other, and that’s what, that’s what we need. That’s the messaging that we brought out, you know, but because in the communities where we were walking in, you know, you you will see on Friday. It’s a collection of men, whether being black, white, Jewish, you know, Muslim, Christian, you know, everybody was out as a whole, as far as as men talking to and providing resources for individuals. And I think even though that we’re not collectively out now, but I think we’ve all branched off to do our own different things, or set up other organizations that are very similar. Mune Bahar has recreated, or, you know, sort of reinvented core community, which is focusing on that, and even focusing on bringing young people into different construction trades and so forth. Of course, you see with the mayor what he’s great things that he is doing as well, what I’ve been doing as well. And then you have a band of brothers that came about. We are us. You know, other these other Corey
Nestor Aparicio 20:43
8McCray on all the time talking about the responsibility of education and trade and having a job
Sean Stinnett 20:49
Exactly, exactly Senator McCray is, you know, by trade of electrician, you know what I mean. So he’s able to understand and knowing that what he had, he
Nestor Aparicio 20:58
came on me over Coco’s couple months ago, he told me he was at risk. Youth up, you know, seems like he’s always at it together. Man, I could have been in car. I could have been, yeah, a lot of things, besides Senator Cory McCray, exactly, we could all speak to that
Sean Stinnett 21:15
clearly, clearly. We can clearly. Can we just all had? We’re fortunate enough to have the right people in place at the right time to really get us over that hump, or get us what we’re looking for or crying out for at that particular time, and then take it from there. As far as boom, like Cory McCray, you know he’s doing, excuse me, phenomenal work, as far as in his district as well. And I learned from him, as far as from a distance, and even one on one, and his staff has been very supportive, as far as with my staff coming into the legislature and so forth, so. So yeah, those are the type of people that I think we need to really build upon and really look at more and more, as far as in their their background and as well as their current story.
8Nestor Aparicio 21:54
All right, man, I’m done with you with the politics thing. Shawn stenette is here. He is a delegate. Delegate. What’s the 41st 4141 that’s all alphabet soup to me, right, right, right. That’s why we ask, where not what the number is. You’re the number already googling that. So what’s wrong with my Orioles?
Sean Stinnett 22:13
I was really disappointed, you know, when they started really getting because I thought that I could have sworn that somebody had said, we’re not going to do it, sort of like a firehouse sale and everything. So I was really disappointed when they started, you know, getting rid of some, some core key people, Cedric Mullins and so forth. You know that that really hurt my heart. Well, they all come and go. I mean, what’s, yeah, I know, but just in the middle of the season and so forth, that’s where I just did last place you saw my fan favorites, fan favorites, and still we were, what, 10 games out of 500 I’m like, you know, it could change,
Nestor Aparicio 22:45
man, it’s like, I mean, not this year. It wasn’t built for it this year.
Sean Stinnett 22:49
8Well, yeah, I always have hope. You know what? I mean, that’s party, right? That brings me back in our days, back in the day, I remember when, you know, situated, Rafael Palmeiro, and all of those things were happening, and all of that stuff, you know, back in the day where we would get news, myself, Jeremy, conray, Bachman, Casey and so
Nestor Aparicio 23:06
forth, you know, you don’t want to get into that. You got anything on the ravens, they’re gonna win a
Sean Stinnett 23:10
Super Bowl, right? Yeah, that’s what I’m rooting for. Ravens, you know, all the way easy, easy.
Nestor Aparicio 23:15
I mean, I think when you look at them right now, you would just say they have a top three roster.
8Sean Stinnett 23:21
Oh, yeah, there’s
Nestor Aparicio 23:22
no reason they can’t win.
Sean Stinnett 23:24
No, no, just got to stay healthy, right? You know what? I mean, we already lost two cornerbacks for the year, which is, yeah. I mean, our Darius Washington gone, yeah, you know. So gotta get likely. We got the right people in the front office, far as the you know, make things happen and kind of do some adjustments. So it’s like, you know, we always can be critics on one side, but we know that they got the pulse for the team. So, yeah, buffalo, Buffalo. I get tired of hearing them talk about, I mean, we should be talking about the three time MVP.
Nestor Aparicio 23:52
8Well, you know the good news, we’re in a month within a month with three weeks out. Yeah, I’m ready. I’m ready for football. I mean, yeah, I’m ready for baseball. I was done with baseball in June when they were like, I’m ready to focus on,

Sean Stinnett 26:16
8electable Right, right? Long hair. Now, it’s funny. You say that because a good friend of mine is funny. A good friend of mine, Dwayne shorty Davis, told me the same thing, that when I lost about 810, years ago, he just said that you’d be more effective as far as not being elected than elected and look out, turned out, yeah, and to me, it was a work in progress for they because, and that’s the unfortunate thing. Like I said, you’re going to have a whole bunch of people come out the woodwork and say they’re going to run, they want to be, you know, a delegate as well, but have yet to really do anything with significant work within the district, within the communities. Keep up the good work. I appreciate. No you’re I know when

But I’m doing my 27 favorite things to eat this month. Well, you know, I’ve done the crab cakes and I’ve done the breweries. I was gonna do crab soup. I was gonna do cream and go. And then I thought to myself, all of these small businesses, my favorite Chinese restaurant, my favorite snowball stand, my favorite. These didn’t have to be crab cakes, but crab cakes to some degree. So I’m trying to go around town and feature some businesses that might not have a lot of love in that way. My number one place is just a small little local business. My number two place was a small little business. Now they got a couple locations. These are not sponsors, right, right, right, right. Now I’m doing sponsor shows all next week, yeah? But my top four things to eat, favorite things, the are not sponsors, yeah? So I’m gonna, I know you’re following along,
