Make your plan to elect Donna Edwards:

Environment Maryland staff have worked with Donna for years in her capacities as a campaign finance reform activist and later, Member of Congress. She knows how Congress works and she has a history of prioritizing investments in science, clean energy and public transportation. As climate change increasingly takes a toll on our environment, health and well-being, we know Donna’s care for, and expertise on, these issues will be crucial.

Edwards had a consistently strong environmental record in Congress, including supporting the cleanup of the Chesapeake Bay. In addition, she’s always been an advocate for our parks and open space. She has always approached her environmental work with spirit and creativity, while representing her constituents and building broader support for change.

Maryland’s environmental community has recognized Edwards for her good work close to home. Notably, she won the Maryland Sierra Club’s 2007 Conservationist of the Year Award for founding the Campaign to Reinvest in the Heart of Oxon Hill.
