People-Powered Slate in Maryland
Real change doesn’t just happen in Washington — it’s built from the ground up.
From state legislatures to county councils to school boards, down-ballot races shape the policies that impact our daily lives: housing, education, workers’ rights, public safety, and economic justice.
That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse a powerful slate of candidates across Maryland — leaders who are ready to take on corporate power, fight for working families, and deliver real results in their communities.

Why Down-Ballot Races Matter
In a state like Maryland, where Democrats dominate, the primary is often the election — and that means the real choice is between different visions for the future.
Will we elect candidates backed by corporate interests and the status quo?
Or leaders rooted in grassroots movements, ready to deliver bold change?
These down-ballot races are where we build the foundation for real progress — from passing stronger labor protections to investing in public education and holding powerful interests accountable.
Maryland has the opportunity to lead — but only if we elect leaders who will fight for working people at every level.
When we organize, we win. ✊
