Hi Team, it’s Angela.

I normally try to keep my emails on the shorter side, but this is a long one.

In my defense, I have a lot to say! I’ve outlined some of my key priorities in this campaign and our fight to build a better Maryland. So, if you can, I hope you take a few moments to read it through!

But if you’re in a hurry, you can support my campaign for the U.S. Senate here, then come back and read this whenever you’ve got some extra time!

Put People First

This campaign isn’t about Angela. It’s about you – the people of Maryland – and the issues that you care about most.

Putting people first on the campaign trail looks like: Listening instead of just talking, having face-to-face conversations, and meeting Marylanders where they are (whether that’s Wegmans, at your front door, or just out on the sidewalk!).

In the Senate, putting people first means standing up to those who undermine the health and safety of our communities. It means making sure that Marylanders can live, work, learn, and prosper in the state we call home.

That’s been my mission since I entered public service nearly thirty years ago. I won’t back down now.

Lead from Experience

I believe that Marylanders deserve a Senator who’s walked a mile or two in their shoes.

I understand firsthand the problems faced by regular Marylanders, because I am one – unlike my multi-millionaire opponent!

I grew up in a working-class home. My parents taught us to look after our neighbors and give back to our community.

And as a working mom, I’ve experienced challenges shared by so many families. I know what it’s like to worry about affordable childcare, public safety, and high-quality education. I know the enormous value of a supportive and close-knit community.

I’ve been there. Those experiences got me into public service in the first place, and they’re the reason I’m still fighting to improve education, expand economic opportunities, and ensure working Marylanders have the tools they need to thrive.

Tackle the Issues That Matter, Big or Small

Maryland is made up of so many diverse communities. As a public servant, it’s my responsibility to understand the unique issues each one faces.

For some, those are big-picture issues like climate change, affordable healthcare, or abortion rights.

Others are concerned about issues that don’t always make headlines, like flood readiness, broadband access, and clean water; veterans’ benefits; recycling programs; treatment for substance abuse and mental health; and addressing historic inequality.

On hot-button and obscure policy issues alike, these issues matter to me because they matter to you. Together, we’ll confront the obstacles that hold us back. We’ll go farther and do better for Maryland.

Wow, Folks! I said at the beginning of this email that it’d be a long one – I wasn’t lying! 

If you’ve made it this far, thank you.

I just have to make one final request.

I need to overcome my opponent’s massive spending and win this ultra-competitive primary before I get to work for Maryland families in the Senate. Can I count on you to chip in $25 to help me pull ahead?

So gratefully,

Angela
