🚨 ENDORSEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

Elect Better Leaders PAC is excited to endorse Brandon Thompson (Brandon for MD) for the position of Maryland State Delegate in District 2A. This legislative district encompasses the eastern and southern portions of Washington County as well as the northern part of Frederick County.

Brandon has led efforts in demanding full transparency from DHS regarding the proposed ICE detention facility in Washington County. He’s provided the general public with video and photo information that both the federal government and Washington County government have kept secret. We’re confident that the transparency that Brandon is committed to providing will follow him to Annapolis—and that’s exactly what we need right now.

A little note about Brandon Thompson:

🇺🇸 Served in the U.S. Army for 5 years
🔫 Advocate for the 2nd Amendment
🔵 Democrat running to flip a red seat
📷 Professional photographer and videographer

See you on the campaign trail, Brandon!!

Elect Better Leaders PAC is ecstatic to announce the endorsement of Pastor Les McIntosh for a position on the Board of County Commissioners in Washington County, Maryland.

Les is an example of the need for diverse leadership in Washington County with the ability to reach across the political aisle to collaborate and connect for positive change. He has expressed a commitment to further investment in public safety, noting a need for support of both volunteer and career fire departments, as well as public education—to invest in the future of our students and the educators that are leading the way. As a fierce leader in the community as a Pastor, a small business owner, and a community organizer, we believe that Les will bring necessary attention to uplifting our most vulnerable populations while continuing to support both small and large business growth in Washington County.

Check out his website for further information: https://mcintoshforus.com

We can, and we will, win this thing, Les!! ✅
