Former Lt. Gov. Melvin "Mickey" Steinberg, dies at age 92
Melvin A. “Mickey” Steinberg, Maryland’s fifth lieutenant governor and a former Senate president known for his political acumen and sense of humor, died Tuesday. A cause of death was not publicly announced. He was 92.
Sen. Shelly Hettleman, a Baltimore County Democrat who represents District 11, the district once represented by Steinberg, described her predecessor as “a thoughtful conciliator who preferred bringing people together to resolve differences than allowing disputes to divide them.”
He parlayed that approach into a career in politics that began in 1966, when he was first elected to the Senate. It ran through 1994 when, after two terms as lieutenant governor to Gov. William Donald Schaefer, Steinberg lost his own bid for governor to Parris Glendening in 1994.
Steinberg’s story is that of a self-made man.
