Overview
Democratic primary voters in Frederick City, voters under 50, voters of color, college educated white women, and progressives need to see, read, and see on the go that there’s a real choice in this election:
Growing up in the school shooting generation inspired Joe Vogel to take action and get involved. As a Latino immigrant, a member of the LGBTQ community, and a community leader turned Maryland State Delegate, Joe is an unwavering champion for common sense gun reform, equity in our healthcare system, and protecting abortion rights, including his opposition to a national ban on abortion.
Delegate Joe Vogel has spent his time as a state legislator helping codify abortion rights in Maryland. This legislative session, Joe is advocating for security grant funding to protect our abortion clinics as they continue to face threats following the overturning of Roe v Wade.
Co-sponsored HB0705, the Right To Reproductive Freedom Act which established the fundamental right of every Marylander to have reproductive freedom, enshrining abortion rights in the state.
Sponsored HB1091, the Protecting Reproductive Health Care Clinics Act, which would establish the Reproductive Health Care Clinic Security Grant Program to assist abortion clinics in the state with security and safety costs as patients and providers are faced with increasing threats of violence.
Joe has been a champion for common sense gun laws and responsible gun ownership. In Congress, he will continue to fight for the stronger gun laws that will keep our kids and communities safe from violence.
That’s why unions and local leaders across all five counties are endorsing Joe Vogel for Congress. Some endorsements include:
Maryland State Education Association (MSEA)
Sierra Club
Amalgamated Transit Union
Association of Flight Attendants-CWA
Frederick County Council President Brad Young
Montgomery County School Board Member Grace Rivera-Oven
Cumberland City Council Member Laurie Marchini
Boonsboro Mayor Howard Long
Kitzmiller Mayor Robert Reckart

April McClain-Delaney is running as a Democrat, but the circles she runs in tell a different story. She is a multi-millionaire who hosts lavish Christmas parties with extreme anti-abortion Republicans Paul Ryan and is friends with Tucker Carlson.
Tone should be respectful. Any contrast drawn should be about the candidates’ approaches to governing and those in their close circles.
Voters do NOT need to see hard-hitting negatives.
April McClain-Delaney claims she supports abortion rights, but she calls John Roberts, the Chief Justice who led the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade and wrote the opinion allowing corporations to give unlimited money to political campaigns, a “good friend of ours.”
It’s important that voters know that April McClain Delaney is a Potomac multi-millionaire with a history of donating to an anti-choice politician, Senator Jim DeMint.
April Delaney’s Donation History:
Delaney made max out contributions to anti-choice politicians like Senator Jim DeMint,
12/20/2005: April Delaney contributed thousands to Senator Jim Demint. This was after the Senator said that gay people and unwed single mothers shouldn't serve as school teachers and that Planned Parenthood should be defunded.
10/09/2012: April Delaney called Chief Justice John Roberts, one of the architects behind the overturning of Roe V Wade a 'good friend of ours'
From close ties to Tucker Carlson, to hosting lavish Christmas parties attended by the likes of Chief Justice John Roberts, Paul Ryan and other extreme Republicans, her friends and interests couldn’t be further from Maryland’s 6th Congressional District
