Dear Friend,
We’re so excited to announce our first electoral win of 2022! Congratulations to our endorsed candidate Edward Burroughs, who won the special primary election for the District 8 seat on the Prince George’s County Council in a blowout victory [[link removed]] last week.
We're proud of Edward and we feel honored to have played a role in his campaign. His big win shows what we can accomplish when we come together to back candidates advocating for transformative change, even when we’re up against corporate money and an entrenched political establishment.
We hope Edward’s victory will be the first of many for progressive political candidates across Maryland this year, but we need your help to ensure that our electoral work in 2022 is a success! Here are two major ways you can support our election team:
(1) Donate to our New Era Political Action Committee — this fund supports our endorsed candidates and progressive electoral agenda [[link removed]]
(2) Sign up to volunteer with our election team in the coming months — join us for canvasses and phone banks to contact Maryland voters [[link removed]]
As our campaigns for this year’s elections ramp up, we’re also attentive to the need to protect voting rights across the country. Please join us in calling on President Biden and members of the Senate to take urgent action on voting rights to neutralize new state voter suppression laws. The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act would help defend our democracy in every state, and time is of the essence.
In Solidarity,
The Progressive Maryland Team
