Big news! I'm excited to report that the District 18 Democratic Team -- Senator Madaleno and Delegates Carr, Gutierrez, and I -- have just been endorsed by longtime civil rights leader and community organizer Elbridge James.
"As Board President of Progressive Maryland, past Vice President of the NAACP-Montgomery County Branch, and Director of the Maryland Black Family Alliance,* I know it's critical to have hard-working, progressive leaders. That's why I'm proud to endorse the District 18 Democratic Team: Senator Madaleno and Delegates Carr, Gutiérrez, and Waldstreicher.Elbridge James joins Governor O'Malley and Congressman Van Hollen in supporting the Democratic Team as we continue working hard each and every day for the people of Montgomery County.
Working together, these four Democrats have achieved great things. They have fought for social justice and kept faith with our progressive values, ensured fiscal responsibility and corporate accountability, and invested billions in our schools to make sure all our kids have the opportunity to learn. I've lived in Montgomery County for 40 years and fought for civil rights my entire life. When it comes to standing up for social justice, equality, and civil liberties, I stand proudly with the District 18 Democratic Team."
