Nino Mangione

Nino Mangione is an American politician from the Republican party who is a member of the Maryland House of Delegates representing district 42B.

Background

Mangione was born in Baltimore County, Maryland. He attended Towson University, where he received his B.A. in political science in 2009. After graduating, Mangione worked as an intern and later a show host from 2017–2018 with WCBM 680, a talk radio station owned by his family.[1][2]

Conflict of interest

Mangione has come under criticism for various conflicts of interest that could possibly arise from his relation with WCBM 680. While Mangione was a webmaster and a host, WCBM reposted several videos and posts advertising Mangione's campaign. The promotion from the station was not reported as in-kind contributions. Additionally, Mangione's campaign Facebook page reported that Towson University had offered a new scholarship solely for undocumented students, though according to a university spokesman it had never existed. WCBM then created a web page on its website about the scholarship, linking back to Mangione's campaign Facebook page. Mangione has stated that he does not see WCBM posts or his radio show as in-kind contributions to his campaign.[2]

In the legislature

Mangione was sworn in as a member of the House of Delegates on January 9, 2019, and appointed to the Appropriations committee. He serves on the health & social services subcommittee and the oversight committee on pensions.[1]

gollark: The API should probably be designed so that it provides individual cryptographic primitives for more advanced use but has simpler functions with sensible defaults for the really common things.
gollark: Eh, maybe. But if it's a convenient single-module minified library you can include it easily.
gollark: That's probably enough for most usecases.
gollark: I'm thinking:- SHA256- some somewhat sensible password hashing function- ChaCha20/AES256- ECC stuff
gollark: Yes. People often ask "how do I do [some crypto operation]" so just point them to it.
