About this candidate

From mdresist.com:My name is Gabriel Sorrel, and I'm running to be a representative in the Maryland General Assembly for District 19. I believe Democrats need to do more to earn their voters' support. More to stop Trump and his allies. More to expand the social safety net. More to communicate their vision to the public. Every vote for me is a voice in agreement with those statements and the principles I've outlined. My hope is no matter the results of this upcoming election those voices will be heard.
