| Summary:

We report first-time reverberation mapping results for 14 AGNs from the
ongoing Monitoring AGNs with H$beta$ Asymmetry campaign (MAHA). These results
utilize optical spectra obtained with the Long Slit Spectrograph on the Wyoming
Infrared 2.3m Telescope between 2017 November-2023 May. MAHA combines
long-duration monitoring with high cadence. We report results from multiple
observing seasons for 9 of the 14 objects. These results include H$beta$ time
lags, supermassive black hole masses, and velocity-resolved time lags. The
velocity-resolved lags allow us to investigate the kinematics of the broad-line
region.
