Marvin Mandel, the 56th governor of Maryland, was the state's first and only Jewish governor. Mandel was born in Baltimore and attended Baltimore City public schools. He attended Baltimore City College and received his law degree from the University of Maryland School of Law. Mandel was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1952, representing Baltimore City. He was chosen as Speaker in 1963 and served in that position until 1969, when he was elected governor by the Maryland General Assembly following the resignation of Spiro Agnew, who stepped down to serve as vice president under President Richard Nixon. Mandel was elected by the people in 1970 and again in 1974. The negative highlight of Mandel's governorship was his 1977 fraud conviction. He was found guilty on 17 counts of mail fraud and two counts of racketeering for allegedly accepting gifts and bribes from racetrack investors in return for his influence. He eventually served 19 months of a three-year prison term until his sentence was commuted by President Ronald Reagan in 1981. His conviction was overturned in 1988 on procedural grounds, though none of the facts of the case against him was ever refuted. Under the administration of Republican Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., Mandel served as chairman of the Governor's Commission on the Structure and Efficiency of State Government. Since 2003, he has been a member of the Board of Regents for the University System of Maryland. Mandel currently practices law and has a home in Annapolis, Md.
