Martin O'Malley

At the end of our time, Governor O’Malley looked me in the eye and thanked me for my time. We shook hands and he was off to yet another event for the evening. As I walked out of the coffee shop that evening, I was deeply encouraged. I felt as if I had just encountered the kind of politician that I never believed possible, one who deeply embraces their faith and is boldly committed to demonstrating how it propels them to act for justice and progress. Governor Martin O’Malley is the kind of politician that our nation needs at a moment such of this. One with fierce commitment to integrity and justice, the humility to learn and listen to the least of these, and the boldness and bravery to fight for the future their heart believes is possible. O’Malley demonstrates that for progressives, faith and politics don’t have to be separate, but in fact, are powerful partners that can bring people from all walks of life together for the common good of our nation.
