Team — the primary election in our campaign to flip Maryland blue is just around the corner, and this morning we received one of the biggest endorsements yet: The Baltimore Sun.

Here’s what the Sun had to say:

"All of the Democrats running for governor have correctly identified the need for greater public investment in Charm City, but Mr. Perez, 60, offers the best opportunity to achieve that end, having already established strong relationships with local officials, state lawmakers and Democrats in Congress. If anyone can coax much-need transit aid from the Biden-Harris administration, for example, it would surely be the former labor secretary for Obama-Biden. And Mr. Perez can talk about racial injustice and police reform with no shortage of expertise, having served as head of the civil rights division within the U.S. Department of Justice. Jobs, addressing racial equity, improving transit infrastructure and housing security, providing greater access to broadband in underserved communities and addressing climate change are all worthy planks in the Perez platform."

This is a truly humbling endorsement, Team. Over the last few weeks, our campaign has clearly seized the momentum in this race. I feel it on the ground too when I’m talking with voters face-to-face.

It’s clear that when folks learn more about what our campaign stands for, we earn their support. But this race is extremely close, and to win, we need to get our message out far and wide across Maryland. I can’t do that without your help.

We’re so close to the finish line and we need to leave it all on the field, my friend. Will you chip in $20 and help me bring jobs, justice, and opportunity to Maryland — and flip this state blue in November?

Thank you so much for everything you do. Let’s win this thing.

With gratitude,

Tom
