Maryland
Marie Grant was appointed as Maryland’s Acting Commissioner by Gov. Wes Moore, effective Oct. 1, 2024. She was confirmed as Commissioner by the Maryland Senate on April 2, 2025.
Commissioner Grant believes access to quality insurance products for Marylanders is critical to making Maryland more competitive, safe, and affordable.
Commissioner Grant is an attorney and state and federal policy expert with nearly 20 years of experience in policy, strategy, and regulation in both the public and private sectors, mainly in the fields of insurance and health care payment. Her previous roles include assistant secretary for health policy at the Maryland Department of Health and vice president of public policy at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield.
Commissioner Grant began her career with the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, serving as nonpartisan committee counsel to the House Health and Government Operations Committee and the Senate Finance Committee. In this role, she advised on health, life, and malpractice insurance legislation, as well as consumer protection matters.
Commissioner Grant earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Georgetown University Law Center (Washington, DC) and a bachelor’s degree in public health from Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD).
