Why I’m Running & Why Your Support Matters

I am running for the Democratic Central Committee in Baltimore and Maryland’s 46th District because strong Democratic victories start long before Election Day.

Central Committee members are the party’s grassroots organizers. We recruit candidates, register and turn out voters, support Democratic nominees, raise funds, fill critical vacancies in public office, and build lasting party infrastructure at the neighborhood level, similar to my Block Captain Program. This work takes time, energy, and resources.

After running for City Council in 2024, I know firsthand how much organizing, coordination, and voter engagement it takes to win elections and keep our city moving forward. I am committed to doing that work for Democrats across District 46 and Baltimore, not just during election season, but year-round.

If elected and if the position is vacant, I could possibly serve as the Treasurer for all of Baltimore, positioning myself for greater roles down the road. I also want to refocus the party on issues that will encourage greater voter turnout and that impact all individuals, not just a small segment of the party. For Baltimore, that includes public safety, equitable property taxes, better infrastructure, and more economic opportunity by attracting more business.

Your contribution will directly support grassroots organizing, voter outreach, party-building efforts, and the tools needed to strengthen Democratic turnout ahead of the June 23, 2026 election and beyond.

Together, we can build a stronger, more organized Democratic Party in Baltimore that reflects our values and delivers results.

Thank you for your support.
