Progressive Democrats of America was founded on specific progressive principles. Each Tuesday, PDA features a progressive hero, a group, or even a concept that “Trumps Trump.” Today, we honor Progressive Democrat State Senator Roger Manno, who is running for Congress. In weeks to come, we’ll recognize other exciting candidates.

Our endorsement standards are exacting. From among several strong candidates, Maryland State Senator Roger Manno stands out in terms of commitment to our progressive priorities as well as experience both in Annapolis and on Capitol Hill. Therefore, we’ve endorsed Sen. Manno for Congress in Maryland’s 6th District.

Roger supports Healthcare Not Warfare

Sen. Manno took the lead on several issues including the environment, healthcare, labor, education, immigration, voting rights, budget, services, and jobs. He’s worked with us on all those and more. In a crowded and talented field, one candidate deserves our endorsement. That candidate is Roger Manno.

Roger Manno said, “I’m honored to have the support of Progressive Democrats in my race for the 6th Congressional District. I’ve worked alongside PDA for Healthcare as a Human Right, for the Equal Rights Amendment, to stop Global Warming, to ban Fracking, as well as for economic and social justice.”

Here are a few highlights of Sen. Manno’s progressive public service: As a staffer in Congress, he worked for Medicare For All / H.R. 676 from Day 1 in 2002-2003. As a Maryland legislator, he voted against the $11.4M estate tax giveaway for the top .2%, against allowing garbage burning as ‘clean energy’ tax credits, and against huge giveaways to corporations.

He led in the struggle to ban fracking, help patients gain healthcare and afford medications, facilitate voter registration, lift the arbitrary deadline from the Equal Right Amendment, and much more. No other candidate in this primary contest can match this record. That’s why PDA gives Roger Manno our highest endorsement.
