Ali Team Powers through Outage

Even a massive Montgomery County-wide power outage could not stop the Ali for Senate volunteers from working their hardest to talk to every last District 39 voter.  When the Ali Team noticed our campaign office was powerless this morning, folks didn’t pack up and head home.

Instead our one-of-a-kind volunteers migrated down the street to a coffee shop (with power and internet) to get to work!

We all thank the PEPCO workers who are working hard to bring power back to county residents and wish everyone without power a safe and speedy return to the grid.

I have had children in Montgomery County public schools for the past 18 years, since September 1992. I appreciate the excellent education that my children have received; however, I have also seen the impacts of budget constraints including large class sizes and cutbacks in music and arts education. All four of my children had high school classes that they wanted to take and that would have been beneficial for their applications to college, but that were not offered at their particular school.

I support Saqib because he wants to work to protect the budgets our public schools already receive and reinvigorate them with more resources. Saqib won’t let our tax dollars be diverted from our public schools to private, religious institutions. We simply cannot afford to be redirecting funds away from our needy public schools in these tough economic times.  Our state must demonstrate a sustained commitment to public education. Saqib Ali is the only candidate in this race who understands this. Please join me in supporting him.

Coming Together to Move Maryland Forward

This weekend was another great success.  Tens of volunteers moved through our campaign office, and made it out into the community to knock on doors and talk to voters in the blistering heat!

On both Saturday and Sunday Saqib spoke at fundraisers, where dedicated groups of individuals helped to ensure that we will have the resources we need to remain competitive in the closing months of this campaign.  We are proud that 81% of Saqib’s funding comes from individuals, and not special interests.

Testimonial Tuesday: Shyam Lakshmanan

I am currently a rising senior at Quince Orchard high school and believe strongly that we must do more to protect the environment. I am a strong supporter of Delegate Saqib Ali in the upcoming District 39 State Senate primary because of his devotion to environmental activism. Saqib has promoted policies like reducing Maryland’s carbon emissions and protecting the oyster population in the Chesapeake Bay. His leadership on environmental issues earned him a score of 100% on the League of Conservation Voters 2010 scorecard, while his opponent, Nancy King, received a score of 60%. Saqib’s strong record on the environment has also earned him the endorsements of the Sierra Club and League of Conservation Voters.

I know that as our state senator Saqib will continue his efforts to protect Maryland’s environment and I look forward to doing my part to help get him elected. Please join me in supporting Saqib Ali for State Senate!
