Animal-Friendly Candidates Need Your Vote and Your Help

Maryland Votes For Animals released their early political endorsements for Maryland Senate, the House of Delegates and Anne Arundel County in the 2010 elections. These five Senate, twelve House and one Anne Arundel County Council endorsed candidates have all demonstrated leadership on humane issues and a committment to make animal protecction a priority for Maryland

These endorsements are a first significant step in MVFA's missionto bring animal protection issues to the mainstream of Maryland political action.  We live in a state where cruelty to animals has become a daily occurrence, so voters must unite to take a stand against the suffering.  In fact, the single most important thing any citizen of Maryland can do to help animals is to use the power of their vote to help elect humane legislators to office.
