Winning rural communities

The Democrats lose 90% of the rural counties in America. They lose because we regularly run candidates who do not know the people, culture, challenges, and opportunities of our communities. We know that this rural-urban divide is dangerous for America because it fosters grievance and political pol…

The Center

Mass shootings across the nation. The rollback of reproductive rights. Crime. Gas prices. High inflation and the risk of recession. Andy Harris has done absolutely nothing for our community - and yet, we have paid him more than $2 million dollars over the last 12 years. We have a Democratic primar…

June is pride month - a time to recognize the contributions of the LGBTQ community to our nation and to honor those who have fought to bend the arc of history towards justice. From the Stonewall Riots of 1969 to the landmark Supreme Court case of Obergefell v. Hodges recognizing marriage equality,…
