District 2 Delegates to the Democratic National Convention Choose 7

DUTIES: Convention delegates elected in the Primary are part of the state delegations that officially select their party’s presidential candidate at the party’s national conventions. Presidential nominees are not elected directly by the voters in the Primary. Rather, voters in each state choose delegates to represent them at the national conventions.HOW ELECTED: Democratic voters will elect delegates to their national convention from each Congressional District (CD), with the number based on the number of Democratic voters in that district. Each Congressional District will elect approximately equal numbers of female and male delegates, with some non-binary delegates included within the state total. Each candidate’s gender will be listed under their name on the ballot. The presidential candidates will receive delegates in proportion to their share of the vote in that district. For additional information see the party’s rules on the party s website.

QUALIFICATIONS: How does your experience prepare you for the duties of a convention delegate?

My parents always instilled in me that just because you start with nothing, does not mean you have nothing to offer. As a son of immigrants, I have dedicated my life to service and making sure everyone has a voice. My work in the Democratic party reflects this devotion and I am ready to bring that passion to the convention.

SELECTION CRITERIA: What factors were most important in deciding to pledge your support to this candidate?

We are at a critical juncture in our nation. We can either move forward and continue the progress we have been making, or move backwards and risk fracturing the institutions of our democracy. President Biden has presented a bold vision for America that includes investing in our education system, upgrading our aging infrastructure, combating climate change, and fighting for working families. I am excited to pledge my support for him.

Marianne Williamson is of good will towards all people. She has a profoundly positive vision for the betterment of each individual and society at large. Her major policy proposal of an Economic Bill of Rights for the 21st Century stands as a testament to the power of We the People. It is important to note her feminism, womanism, and motherism as her guiding light for an ethics of care. She proposes a moral bottom line as a response to corrupted cultures, corporations, and politics. Choose LOVE.

QUALIFICATIONS: How does your experience prepare you for the duties of a convention delegate?

As a Maryland State Senator, I have the opportunity to be in the community a lot and to hear directly from constituents about what is important to them. This informs my work as a legislator, and it will be invaluable if I am elected to be a delegate to the convention. I have attended 2 conventions as a delegate (one was virtual), understand the process as well as the district, and will be able to represent the views of my district as needed.

SELECTION CRITERIA: What factors were most important in deciding to pledge your support to this candidate?

President Biden has been an incredibly productive leader. In the face of very difficult political headwinds, he has been able to get things done that are having a tremendous impact on individuals' lives and the life of this nation. He has led us out of COVID effectively, gotten resources to families and workers in need, is rebuilding our infrastructure and is committed to a greener and cleaner environment and an economy that works for all. He is also pro-choice, which is critical!
