Anderson-Walker’s  Selection Brings Experience, Balance to the Ticket

Bowie,  MD - Today, Peter Franchot announced  that Prince George’s County Councilmember Monique Anderson-Walker is joining his ticket as the candidate for Lieutenant Governor.

On  joining the ticket, Anderson-Walker said, “My public service is rooted in an understanding that we are all in this together. I’m excited to work with Peter on delivering a better quality of life for all Marylanders regardless of zip code. We’ll begin delivering  those forward-looking results that our communities can see and feel on day one of our administration.”

Franchot  remarked, “I’m inspired by Monique’s commitment to community and her innovative, pragmatic solutions to the challenges Maryland families face. Together we can restore our citizens’ faith in the competency of government, and deliver results – not rhetoric – as we begin to build back better from the COVID-19  pandemic. We have a bedrock commitment to strengthening and expanding the middle class and our combined vision and experience will do exactly that.” 

This  announcement marks an important milestone in Maryland’s gubernatorial cycle. The Franchot Anderson-Walker ticket represents a formidable coalition of statewide recognition and relationships, deep roots in Maryland’s largest community of Democratic voters,  and considerable combined fundraising capacity. Moreover, the balance of age, gender, race and perspective creates a ticket well-positioned to ensure millions of Marylanders see and feel the representation they deserve. Together, Peter Franchot and Monique  Anderson-Walker solidify the ticket’s front runner status and provide Democratic voters with a choice they can feel confident will win the General Election.
