Early Life

Malcolm was born September 18, 1979, in Lexington, Kentucky. His mother Angela and his father Charles were both natives of Lexington and were both born and raised in Lexington. During his developing years, Malcolm became interested Min politics. Malcolm was a dedicated debater from the early age of 10 years old, competing in many youth debate tournaments around the city and soon after, around the State of Kentcuky.

Malcolm was also very interested in sports and often participated in various sport growing up. Namely, Malcolm played basketball, baseball, and tennis during his youth years. While never playing football, Malcolm was a dedicated Pittsburg Steelers fan from a very young age.

When in high school, Malcolm attended Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, where he further adopted three passions; politics, law, and journalism. During his Sophomore year, he joined the Dunbar student press organization, PLD Lamplighter, which has been known was accelerated student journalism around the state of Kentucky and nationally. Malcolm began to become active within social justice movements of the time and became a lead youth advocate in Kentucky, focusing mainly in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky.

For undergraduated studies, Malcolm attended an HBCU, Howard University, in Washington, D.C..Here Malcolm learned and expanded on many of his interests and furthered his studies. While there, he majored in Political Science and minored in Communications. He graduated near the top of his class summa cum laude.After graduating from Howard University, Malcolm went on to law school at Harvard Law, becoming the first in his family to attend law school.

Career

After receiving his formal education, Malcolm returned home to Lexington and started a practice with one of his closest friends, Justin Lee who had too went to Harvard Law school.. Malcolm continued practiced law in Dixie, until his eventual election win in the October State elections for the Dixie General Assembly.

Dixie General Assembly

In October 2020, Malcolm was elected to the Dixie General Assembly, winning in a three way race between Former Representative John Miller and Former Assemblyman Poliman. With over 40% of the three way vote Malcolm won. Malcolm established himself early by proposing two key pieces of legislation; the Student Journalist Freedom Act and the Pay to Portray Act, which were student centered pieces of legislation to expand freedom for student journalists and their advisors and give university students the right to make money from their likliness. These measures received bipartisan support and greatly helped Dixie Students. By the end of the 15th Assembly, Malcol had a very productive term and decided to run for re-election for his Assembly Seat.

In his re-election bid, Malcolm faced Former Dixie Speaker John Smith and once again Poliman. Malcolm cruised to victory with 60.57% of the vote, securing another term in the Assembly. During the 16th Assembly, Malcolm increased his workload and sponsored many pieces of legislation. Notably, the Dixie General Appropriations and Family Welfare Act, Poll Closing Reform Act, Dixie Labor Empowerment Act, and the Repeal of Dixie Abortion Laws II Act. With this momentum, Malcolm chose to run once more to run for re-election.

In the February State elections, Malcolm ran unopposed and won easily won with 94.44% of the vote. Malcolm again proposed key pieces of legislation such as the the Stand Your Ground Amendment and the Unemployment Waiting Period Repealment Act. Two pieces of legislation that impacted millions of Dixians, especially those unemployed. This session saw the rise and swift fall of the Constitutional Convention proposed by the Left Coalition. Assemblyman Malcolm led for the reconsideration of the Convention after seeing the growing concerns from the public, he noted his reasoning for reconsidering was to get everyone on record once more for such a crucial vote. The vote eventually failed.

Malcolm was again re-elected in the April State elections with 83% of the vote. Since losing the majority, Assemblyman Malcolm and Jeb have led fierce opposition in the new Libertarian-Republican majority.

United States Senate

Malcolm was appointed to the United States Senate on November 19, 2020 by Governor Drunk. Malcolm has served diligently while in the Senate and has proposed numerous pieces of legislation, mainly focused on criminal justice reform. He has been seen as a bipartisan figure who has been able to work across the aisle and deliver for the people of Dixie. One instance of Malcolm showing his willingness to either break from his party to support bipartisan initiatives was when Malcolm voted down two motions to suspend the rules on politicized constituional amendments that were in essence the same, though, one did go a bit further. His rationale was to force compromise between the two sponsors and ensure there was an amendment to appeal to both sides of the aisle. On the area of criminal justice, Malcolm has been a fighter, writing several pieces of legislation which related to justice and civil rights. While in the United States Senate, Malcolm sponsored two pieces of legislation that directly relates to police reform. First, the "Breonna Taylor Prohibition of No-Knock Warrants Act," which finally prohibited the use of no-knock warrants by police across the country. The second piece of legislation passed and signed was the "Police Body Cameras Act od 2021," which statutorily enfoced police officers at both the state and federal level to wear body cameras while doing policing activities. Malcolm has also proposed measures that are within the realm of civil rights, civil liberties, and justice reform such as the "Sixth Amendment Protection Act," which ensures that the United States does not detain any person indefinetly, which secures the 6th amendment protections as guaranteed by the Constitution. Malcolm has also introduced another piece of police reform legislation, the "Show Your Badge Act." A bill to require police officers to show their indentification when conducting police duties. Malcolm has also proposed legislation to crack down on hate crimes within the United States. The bill would grant money to states that establish certain programs to investigate and prosecute hate crimes and offer hotline services for such crimes. Malcolm was decently invested in the April budget talks, mainly fighting for two written provisions, the "Black Farmers and Ranchers Empowerment Act," and the "Student Mental Health Support Act." Two signifiganct pieces of legislation that both expanded economic growth within the Black community, but and the need to support students while in school.
