Friend — a recent in-state poll found that education is the #1 issue for Maryland Democrats in 2022 which is HUGE news for John and our campaign. As the only Democratic candidate with kids in public school and as a lifelong educator who has been making a difference in and out of the classroom his entire life, no one understands better than John how to improve our education system.

John King is, without a doubt, THE education candidate in this race and our path to victory is more clear than ever before. But, now it’s all hands on deck to spread the word about John and our movement to elect a teacher as governor of Maryland. 

Can we count on you to rush your first donation so we have the resources to share John’s bold policy plans with voters across the state?

John knows firsthand the life-changing power of public schools because school saved John’s life after his parents passed away, and the teachers who gave him a second chance inspired him to become a teacher himself.

John has an educator’s perspective as a former high school history teacher, a middle school principal, and a University of Maryland professor.

John has dedicated his career to fighting for equity in education as the leader of an education civil rights organization and as the 10th U.S. Secretary of Education under President Obama. 

John is also a proud public school parent of two girls who grew up in Montgomery County public schools.

We need someone like John with the experience and vision to make Maryland schools thrive and ensure every student, no matter their zip code, race, or background, has a fair chance and opportunity to succeed. If you support an educator for governor, will you make your first donation today?

Together, we can make sure that John becomes the next Democratic Governor of Maryland.
