 Shurberg is a member of both the Bar Association of Montgomery County (BAMC) and the Maryland State Bar Association.Over the past seven years, Shurberg has testified before the Maryland House of Delegates and the Maryland State Senate over issues of importance to his community, with a special focus on voting rights.In 2009, despite several court rulings to the contrary, the State Board of Elections proposed what it characterized as a "technical amendment" to the Election code that would have allowed the Board to permanently remove registered voters from the voter rolls simply because the voter did not respond to a mail notice from the board.
