Annapolis, MD—Maryland Democratic Party chair Kathleen Matthews issued the following statement on the results of the 2018 gubernatorial election:
“Though we came up short, I could not be more proud of Ben Jealous for running a people-powered campaign focused on the issues facing Maryland families. Ben’s vision, and the new generation of activists he inspired to get off the sidelines, will have a lasting impact on Maryland and they have made us a better Democratic Party.
“I look forward to standing with Ben as he continues to fight for working families in Maryland.”
