Andy Ellis
Green - Candidate (website)
Lieutenant Governor (Owen Silverman Andrews) is a long time activist for Palestinian Human Rights.
Campaign website has a page devoted to Israel/Palestine. It is titled “Maryland is complicit in Genocide.” It focuses on BDS, Israeli as an Apartheid State and the need to end funding to the Maryland Israel Development Center.
NOTE - Because Ellis is a Green Party candidate, he will only appear on the general election, not the primary. Pro-Palestinian voters are encouraged to register with a party during the primary so that they can focus on shaping which Democrats/Republicans make it to the General Election. Doing so does not affect who you can vote for in the General Election.
