MONTGOMERY COUNTY HISPANIC DEMOCRATIC CLUB ENDORSES ALI FOR SENATE
Hispanic Democrats Cite Challenger Ali’s Commitment to Immigrant Rights and Quality Education
(GAITHERSBURG, MD)- The Montgomery County Hispanic Democratic Club has announced their endorsement of Delegate Saqib Ali in his campaign for Maryland State Senate in District 39. The Club’s president, Oscar Ramirez, cited Ali’s commitment to diversity, immigrant rights, and quality education.
“Saqib will be a strong ally of the Hispanic community in our State Senate. He understands that a diverse Maryland is a strong Maryland. Saqib will fight to ensure that immigrants in our state are treated justly and that all Marylanders enjoy access to a world-class education,” said Ramirez.
In the House of Delegates Ali has spoken out against a proposal to divert public funding to private, religious schools. He has also consistently opposed all forms of racial profiling and promoted mass transit solutions that extend further mobility to Marylanders of all backgrounds.
“As the son of immigrants, I believe strongly that Maryland needs to welcome all Americans, regardless of their date of arrival in our great country. We must do so not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because it will help power our state’s economy,” said Ali. “I am humbled to have the support of the Hispanic Democratic Club. If elected I look forwarding to working with them to promote our public school system and protect the rights of all Marylanders.”
Ali, who lives in Gaithersburg, was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2006 and represents Maryland’s 39th Legislative District, which includes Washington Grove and parts of Gaithersburg, Germantown, North Potomac, Montgomery Village and Derwood. In the private sector, he works as a software engineer. Ali received a Bachelors and Masters Degree from University of Maryland College Park in computer science. Ali and his wife Susan are proud parents of two young daughters, Sofia and Sascha. You can learn more about Ali and his campaign by visiting www.Ali4Senate.com.
