The biggest challenge we face.

'I get the same question from the people I meet across the country—from Iowa to New Hampshire to South Carolina: How are you going to heal the divisions and the wounds in our country?

This is the biggest challenge we face as a people. All my life I’ve brought people together over deep divides and very old wounds, and that is what we need now in a new leader. We cannot keep talking past each other.

We are one. Our cause is one. And we must help each other if we want to succeed.

Eight years ago, Americans voted for change in Barack Obama. He brought us back from the brink of a full economic collapse, saved the American auto industry, and today we’ve had 70 straight months of job growth.

Now, we need to build on his progress. And the best way to keep moving forward is with new leadership—not by turning back the clock.

I have worked across the aisle to get things done in Maryland, and I will bring the new leadership we need to forge a new consensus on the many issues that face our country.

Join me on that journey and support our campaign: https://martinomalley.com/donate' https://martinomalley.com/donate/?source=sem-aoi&ms=sem-aoi

Thanks,
