PM Endorsed Candidate Corner  Let us know if you want to help us elect our slate of progressives. We have needs and opportunities in Prince George’s County, Montgomery County, Baltimore County, and Baltimore. We’re supporting County Council candidates and candidates for the Maryland General Assembly in these jurisdictions. Contact Yves or Devane for more information. You can learn more, too, from our posts and individual candidate websites and social media pages.  Montgomery County Alert for Voters: Beware the group calling itself “Progressives for Progress” that popped up in the last 90 days and is flooding our mailboxes with their slick mailers. There is nothing progressive about them! This group got put together with  contributions from dozens of development companies and other real estate entities or individuals that have dealings with them. They want to advance their interests, not the interests and needs of everyday MoCo residents. This is their attempt to gain a powerful grip on our local government, especially the office of County Executive (they are backing businessman David Blair.) Many of these wealthy donors, especially the founder of this PAC, contribute big bucks to the Republican party! They hope their name will confuse voters so help spread the word about who they really are.Â
