For three years, Fraser-Hidalgo served as a police officer in Montgomery County before leaving the police force and entering the business world. He has worked for a number of firms, most recently as an area sales director for Regus.

Career

Maryland Legislature

In 2013, the retirement of Senator Robert J. Garagiola from the Maryland Senate prompted the appointment of Delegate Brian J. Feldman to fill the remainder of Garagiola's term. This left an open Delegate seat, which was contested by a number of applicants. Fraser-Hidalgo won the final vote of the Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee by a close margin, and on October 21, 2013 was appointed by Governor Martin O'Malley to fill the seat.[2]
