I am also the Host of the NEW Maryland Political TV talk-show, the Reporters' Roundtable, viewed on Cable TV75 and seen at www.reportersroundtable.com.
Who is Hassan Giordano? According to the Baltimore Sun (April 21, 2006), “Hassan Giordano isn’t one of those political types in a three-piece suit, with a fancy degree. He’s the guy who is up at 6 a.m., in a white polo scarfing down waffles, convincing students that politics might save their lives - as it did for him.”
The 33-year-old conservative TV show host, journalist, political strategist, consultant and reporter has been on a roller coaster ride throughout his life but is now riding a wave of success in the political arena. He is the former Field Director for then Baltimore City Council President and current Mayor, Sheila Dixon, former Legislative Aide and Press Secretary to Baltimore City Delegation Chair Delegate Salima Siler Marriott, former State Director for Maryland Voting Rights Restoration Coalition and former Board member for the National Right to Vote.
He has served on a variety of political campaigns ranging from Kevin Slayton’s 45th district wide bid, to Sheila Dixon’s city-wide re-election campaign, to the city-wide efforts of Michael Sarbanes for Council President, to the statewide campaign of the Honorable Kweisi Mfume for United States Senate, where he began his blogging career as the campaigns “Blogmeister”.
In a little under 10 years, he went from the bad boy of the block to the bad boy of politics. Since his political inception he has been premiered on numerous talk radio and television shows as well as in every major newspaper in the Baltimore region. He has received multiple awards including Youth Votes nationally accredited award “30 under 30” recognizing the top 30 people in politics under the age of 30.
He is the former host of his own radio talk show on WOLB 1010AM entitled “ROCing ‘D’ Vote”. He is also the former political analyst for the WEAA 88.9 broadcast Listen Up and 92Q’s Big Phat Morning Show’s VoteYoung program. He now currently helps produce and is the political correspondent for WOLB’s “Empower Hour” broadcast.
He most recently worked as a policy advisor, communications director and community organizer for Justice Maryland, a prison advocate and civil rights organization named City Paper’s 2006 Baltimore’s Best Non-Profit. During his tenure he got passed the State's most comprehensive Prison Re-Entry bill as it relates to Voting, known as the Voter Registration Protection Act. As the Chief author, solicitor and lobbyist of this measure, it is seen by many as a fair and measured approach to reengagement back into the electoral process, to those who have served their time and are committed to leading a hard working, honest life of self-reliance and principle.
He now serves as an independently contracted writer for the Examiner.com; where he is the Baltimore Independent Examiner. (www.examiner.com/x-1899-Baltimore-Independent-Examiner), while also Hosting the leading political TV show as it relates to Politics, throughout the State of Maryland, the Reporters' Roundtable.
