Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown Endorses Clinton


"Hillary Clinton has the experience, the ideas and the strength to lead America along the path of progress," Brown said. "She is the best candidate to restore our standing with our global allies, to support our soldiers at home and abroad, and to improve the quality of life for all Americans."

Recognized by Newsweek as one of the leaders of a "new generation" of African American political figures, Brown is seen by many from across the nation to be a rising star in the Democratic Party. He currently serves as the Chair of the National Lieutenant Governors Association Southern Executive Committee.
