Happy Thursday and welcome to the 3rd edition of the King's Chronicle! Before we dive into what John and the team have been up to over the past couple of weeks, we think it's important to address the (GOP) elephant in the room.
Tuesday's election results were not what we'd hoped for, but they did make one thing clear: in 2022, we can't afford to nominate cookie cutter candidates. We need to elect leaders who represent the diversity of our party, who will progress us forward to a more equitable future, and who won't back down when it comes to fighting for transformative change. John King is that candidate, and he's Maryland's best shot at flipping the governor's mansion blue in 2022. We're not giving up, and neither should you.
Onward,
-Team King
