KENSINGTON, Md., July 27, 2017 — Today, Maryland Delegate Jeff Waldstreicher, a Democrat, released a list of community leaders supporting his campaign for State Senate. The release follows Waldstreicher’s official announcement that he is running for State Senate, which occurred last week. The senate seat is being vacated by Sen. Rich Madaleno, who formally announced his candidacy for Governor.
“The list of key supporters is a diverse one,” said Henriot St. Gerard, a community activist in Wheaton. “African American, Latino, Asian American, disabled, and LGBT leaders are well represented. The list includes men and women from all corners of Legislative District 18, including Wheaton, Silver Spring, Lyttonsville, Kensington, Chevy Chase, Rockville, Garrett Park, and Bethesda.”
Waldstreicher stated: “I’m humbled that these community leaders are supporting my campaign for State Senate. These diverse activists represent a broad racial and geographic cross-section of our County. Together, we’ll join together to fight for our community’s values, stand up for justice, and resist the Trump administration at every turn.”
