Team King for Maryland Weekly Recap - July 1, 2022
Government and Politics
July 4, 2022
We are just 18 DAYS away from Primary Election Day!
And we just received the best news: a NEW POLL puts us in the top 3 in this crowded primary, with 23% of likely voters still undecided!
This is a great sign of our growing momentum, but we still need to bring undecided voters into the fold. As long as we have the resources to communicate through television, digital advertising, mail pieces, and more, John will win on Primary Election Day. Can we count on you to contribute $50, $20, or just $5 now to show your support before our July 3rd public fundraising deadline and help John take the lead in this crowded, competitive race?
Keep reading to learn more about our last week here at Team King HQ and find out what we're up to next!

In the News
WASHINGTON BLADE: As governor, I will fight to make Maryland an inclusive state
“This Pride month and beyond, LGBTQ+ Americans need more than empty allyship from politicians, governments, and corporations — they need someone who will stand with them and provide tangible support. I’m running for governor to be a real defender, ally, and advocate for LGBTQ+ Marylanders, and to make our state a safe place for all Americans to live.”
FOX5: SCOTUS reaction shows American divide
BALTIMORE SUN: Some Maryland politicians, candidates for governor vow to strengthen state abortion laws in wake of Roe decision
" 'You know, we feared for a long time that they’re going to be coming for birth control, for LGBTQ+ rights, for [in vitro fertilization], and Justice [Clarence] Thomas’s concurrence confirmed that,' said Siri, the lieutenant governor candidate alongside King’s campaign for governor, which has been endorsed by Pro-Choice Maryland."
WTOP: Meet the Democratic candidates for Maryland governor: John King
"One of the things I bring uniquely to this race is deep experience in education at every level. I started out as a high school social studies teacher, as a middle school principal — led schools at the local level and state level, before coming to work for President Obama as secretary of education."
