The endorsements from leaders across the district are particularly important because they affirm that this is a grassroots campaign by and for the people of the 6th district. It showcases the widespread support and involvement of our community in shaping the future of our region. This campaign is not just about me; it’s about all of us coming together to create positive change and ensure that the voices of the 6th district are heard and represented effectively in congress.

Jeneen Stewart

Frederick County Resident
“As a parent, educator since 2000, Principal, licensed trainer from the International Institute on Restorative Practices, leader for the Maryland State Department of Education Restorative Practices Work Group, trainer for the Maryland Center for School Safety, graduate of Howard University, graduate of George Washington University and current Doctoral Student At Hood College the intersections of all that I advocate for can be summarized by truth and service. In every election across this country it is not only essential but a requirement to elect individuals capable of working with ALL people to listen, learn, empower and act accordingly using data to drive decisions. We can’t rely on individuals who are not taking a stand against double standards, inequalities or blatant discriminatory policies and practices. We need to continue the work of collaboration and collective impact. We need to elect people whose lived experiences, training and intelligence allows for strategic, visionary and inclusive leadership. As a result, I endorse Destiny Drake West who has experience that matters both on Capitol Hill and in the real world. She has demonstrated the ability to advocate, approach opportunities with insight and acquire admiration from some of
the best political and public officials I know!”
