A Note about Ben Jealous

Did you know that the next Governor of Maryland will appoint 4 judges to the state’s highest court? How about that under Larry Hogan, Maryland’s schools have fallen from 1st to 6th in the nation? Or that healthcare premiums are doubling every year?

Ben Jealous was just endorsed by President Obama, and for good reason. As a civil rights leader and successful businessman, he is a smart progressive with great ideas for our state. Check out the flyer below for an easy way to help his campaign.

See you out there!
