Senator Dalya Attar proudly represents Baltimore City’s 41st Legislative District in the Maryland State Senate. She was first elected to the House of Delegates in 2018, re-elected in 2022, and appointed to the Senate in 2025 by Governor Wes Moore.

A native of Park Heights, Senator Attar was raised in a working-class Baltimore family by immigrant parents — including a father who came to the United States as a refugee, seeking safety and a better future. Watching her parents overcome hardship and sacrifice for their children deeply shaped her values and fuels her passion for public service.

Senator Attar earned her bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Baltimore and her Juris Doctor from the University of Maryland. She served as a prosecutor in Baltimore City for nearly eight years, focusing on felony narcotics and gun crimes, and has spent the last few years in private legal practice.

As a legislator, Senator Attar brings real-world courtroom experience and a results-driven approach to public service. Known for her boldness, integrity, and relentless advocacy, she has become a strong and principled voice in Annapolis — unafraid to stand up for what Baltimore needs and deserves.

​She is also the proud mother of two children, now 11 and 12, who inspire her work every single day.
