“We are thrilled to endorse Anthony Brown as the next Maryland Attorney General. He has spent his career serving our country in uniform and working tirelessly on behalf of Marylanders. He has led on key issues like strengthening commonsense gun laws, enhancing the fairness and effectiveness of the criminal justice system, and fighting for voting rights, and we expect that he will continue this work as Attorney General.

“Thank you to DAGA for their support and endorsement. As a life-long public servant, I’ve dedicated my career to bettering the lives of all Marylanders. From the State House to Congress, I’ve fought for equality and progress every step of the way. And as Attorney General, I will continue to implement change to empower communities. I will always work to protect Maryland families and keep communities safe, and I look forward to working with everyone at DAGA in the weeks and months ahead to win in November to do just that.”
