A Maryland Juice reader forwarded us the following email blast from Gov. Martin O'Malley's campaign. His statement announces an endorsement for State Senator Rob Garagiola in the 6th Congressional District race. After O'Malley's email, we print a press release from the Garagiola campaign.
GERMANTOWN, MD – Governor Martin O’Malley endorsed State Senator Rob Garagiola today for the Democratic nomination in Maryland’s 6th Congressional District. Governor O’Malley cited Senator Garagiola’s 10 year proven record of winning fights for progressive causes, and urged Progressive Democrats to rally behind Rob on Tuesday.
“In the State Senate, Rob has been a leader in creating green jobs and developing a renewable energy industry in Maryland. He’s been a courageous leader in our efforts to expand healthcare coverage to more Maryland families and to build Maryland’s #1 ranked schools, and he was one of the key figures in helping pass marriage equality in Maryland. He has never shied away from casting the difficult and tough votes necessary to move our State forward,” said Governor Martin O’Malley
“Marriage equality, green jobs, expanded healthcare coverage for families – these are just some of the progressive battles we’ve waged together,” said Rob Garagiola. “As Democratic Majority Leader in the Senate, my mission for ten years has been to protect our progressive values, and Governor O’Malley’s endorsement testifies to what others have said – there’s a real choice for progressive Democrats on Tuesday.”
Rob was previously endorsed by over 25 organizations, including leading progressives like MoveOn.Org, Human Rights Campaign and Progressive Maryland, all citing him as the only Democratic candidate in the April 3 primary with a proven track record of fighting for progressive priorities like clean water, green jobs, marriage equality, workers’ rights and quality public schools.
For example, in endorsing Rob, Progressive Maryland said that “Rob Garagiola has a proven track record of not just voting for progressive causes, but championing them. Marriage equality, the Dream Act, green jobs, a woman’s right to choose – Rob Garagiola has been a leader on these progressive issues.”
“I am honored to have the support of Governor O’Malley, MoveOn, Progressive Maryland and the 25 other progressive groups that know I am the only one in this race who will go to Washington DC and remain true to our progressive Democratic values.”
