While we don’t have the capacity to provide a comprehensive resource outside of Montgomery County, we have trusted friends in nearby counties/cities and they have shared the following pro-Palestinian human rights candidates.

All Counties

Governor

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.

Allegany, Frederick Garrett and Washington Counties

D6 Congressional Rep

Ethan Wechtaluk (Democrat)- Candidate, (website)

When asked on a podcast (minute 19:27) about Israel’s assault on Gaza, he said “this is the easiest question that you are going to ask me. It is the literal definition of genocide. As far as AIPAC funding, I have been very clear. I don’t support Israel’s actions. If AIPAC gave me money, I would return to sender. ..You don’t kill journalists, health care workers, innocent people. That’s not defense. That is murder.”

Endorsed by Track AIPAC for committing to NOT TAKING AIPAC funds.

Baltimore City/County

D7 Congressional Rep

Mark Conway (Democrat)- Candidate, (website)

Endorsed by Track AIPAC for committing to NOT TAKING AIPAC funds.

D3 Congressional Rep

Austin Dyches (Democrat)- Candidate, (website)

Posted on his website: "Not another dollar for genocide. Not another bomb for apartheid."

The United States sends $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel every year, our tax dollars funding the bombing of hospitals, schools, and refugee camps. We have watched in horror as tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians have been killed, entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble, and a population starved and displaced.

This is not a conflict between two equal sides. This is a nuclear-armed state, backed by the world's largest military power, waging a campaign of annihilation against a captive population. American politicians from both parties have enabled this genocide with our money, our weapons, and their silence. We will not be silent.
