Anthony Brown Endorsed By Montgomery County Councilmembers

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Montgomery County Council President Gabe Albornoz and County Councilmember Andrew Friedson this week endorsed Congressman Anthony G. Brown in his bid to become Maryland’s next attorney general.

Albornoz and Friedson join Montgomery County Councilmembers Will Jawando, Sidney Katz, Craig Rice, and former Montgomery County Councilmember Valerie Ervin who've endorsed Congressman Brown’s candidacy.

“Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and his decades-long career, Anthony has been a champion for equity and justice in our communities. He is not someone content to stand by when he sees injustice. He’s an advocate for the vulnerable and will fight tooth and nail to ensure every community in Maryland gets the resources they need,” said Montgomery County Council President Gabe Albornoz. “As our next Attorney General, Congressman Brown will push to ensure a fair playing field for every Marylander, in public health, public safety, education, transportation and beyond.”

Brown is no stranger to politics, having served as Maryland's lieutenant governor from 2007-2015. Prior to that, he served eight years in the General Assembly, rising to the positions of Vice Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and Majority Whip of the House of Delegates.

He currently serves in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Prince George’s and Anne Arundel Counties.

Brown is one of four candidates vying for the job of Maryland's next attorney general.

Michael Anthony Peroutka (R), Jim Shalleck (R) and Katie Curran O'Malley (D) are also campaigning for the position after Maryland's current attorney general, General Brian E. Frosh (D), announced last year he would not seek re-election.
