Dana Beyer-The dynamic, Progressive leader we need
Elections are at their very core about choices. It is about making personal choices to elect the people who we feel will not only best represent us, but push forward the vision of the society we’d like to see. That is why I’m proud to stand with, and support, Dana Beyer for our senator from District 18.
As a steering committee member of Progressive Neighbors, I know firsthand the kind of progressive, dynamic leadership Dana will bring to District 18 and to Montgomery County. She’ll be a voice for those unorganized and voiceless, as well as fight for us on a plethora of issues ranging from an affordable, public option for our healthcare, to a more equitable tax code. It is of my firm belief that the effort Dana is waging is not just a campaign, it’s a movement.
It is a movement that embodies the stories and the shadows of those so often left out of our public discourse and collective wealth. It is a movement for a more inclusive, generous, fair society. It is a movement to push our politics, and our party, the Democratic Party, to the left, once and for all.

Our society is at its very nucleus a mosaic of visions and dreams. Dreams pushed forward by dedicated visionaries who wanted to see something better, who truly wanted to, as Gandhi said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” We have the power as a people to change the way our society looks, to right the wrongs of leaders before us, and to attack head on salient issues such as income inequality, climate change, and the lack of access to Democracy by those forgotten. All these things can be corrected via a Progressive vision for our society and by bringing back to life the politics of respect for principle, respect for all, and respect for our earth. That’s why I’m proud to support Dana Beyer as she carries her vision, our vision, to the forefront, and I hope you will too.
