Celebrating Pride Month - Richard Madaleno, first openly gay Maryland gubernatorial candidate


Currently, Maryland is heading to the primaries so, to all my Maryland friends, get out and vote!  This year, we have the first openly gay gubernatorial candidate for Maryland.  Richard Madaleno was born in Fort Lauderdale but grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland.

He was elected to Maryland's 18th District in the House of Delegates in 2002.  In April 2006, he ran for and won the Senate seat for District 18.

He announced his candidacy for governor in July 2017.

One of his commercials has raised some eyebrows and a lot of ire.
