Friend,

For the last few months, my team and I have been searching for the right person to join me on this journey to build a more equitable Maryland as my partner on this ticket. We set out looking for someone with bold, progressive ideas and a love for this great state. And, friend, I’m proud to say that we found her and today I am sharing that news with you.

Joining this ticket to become Maryland’s next Lieutenant Governor is Michelle Siri! Michelle is coming to us with experience as a former Assistant Attorney General of Maryland, Board President of Maryland Planned Parenthood, and Executive Director of the Women’s Law Center of Maryland. A graduate of the University of Maryland Carey School of Law, Michelle is a proud Marylander raising her family in Baltimore County, and I am proud to have her join the team.

Michelle is a first-generation Iranian-American who has spent her entire life as a champion for women’s rights. From her work as an Assistant Attorney General to her legislative advocacy experience, Michelle has been a leader in the fight to create a more equitable Maryland and has been crucial in the fight to raise the minimum wage, pass pay equity laws, and ensure a women's right to abortion care is never infringed.

Michelle is exactly the type of courageous and thoughtful progressive leader that we need on our team and I know that she will be an incredible Lieutenant Governor. We’re in this for our fellow Marylanders, and I look forward to working with her to build a state government that acts as a transformative force for good and to serve Maryland the best we can — and I hope we can count on you to join us. Will you help us jumpstart this ticket with SIRIous momentum by endorsing our official campaign ticket today?

Grateful as always,

John King
