I'm Tekesha Martinez and I'm running for Congress. I grew up here in Western MD, raised in foster care. I converted my traumas and pain into love and dedication for my hometown. Now, I want to bring that attention to all of #MD06 . I'm not rich. I rent. I share a car with my four

So grateful to be designated a Gun Sense Candidate by @MomsDemand . Low-income communities of color, like the one I grew up in, are disproportionately harmed by gun violence. As a single mom, I will fight day and night for our kids' safety and our community's peace of mind.

Today is Tax Day. For too long, Congress has prioritized tax breaks for the rich and big corporations instead of lowering taxes for the working and middle class. If elected to represent #MD06 , I'll work to pass legislation that makes sure the rich finally pay their fair share.

From MoCo to the mountains, I've witnessed so many people get fired up about serving their communities. That is the glue that keeps #MD06 together. Our particular needs are different, but we are united by a passion to serve and demand better for ourselves and our neighbors.

Leaders cannot spend their way to understanding the issues our communities face. As one of the few candidates in this race who lived in #MD06 before getting into this race, I am rooted in the Western Maryland communities I will fight for everyday in the halls of Congress.

Are you a renter? A product of foster care? A working class mother who feels let down by every system that was supposed to keep you safe? I don't have to remind you- they don't make it easy for people like us to succeed. I need you on my side.

I was born and raised here, fighting through the foster care system, teen motherhood, and much more. I decided I was not going to be a victim, so I doubled down, stayed in my hometown, and began serving my community by mediating conflicts and ministering through poetry.

Across the country and in #MD06 voters often see our government working for corporations instead of the people. My campaign won't take a cent from corporations, and I will fight to end corporate influence in politics. RT if you support Congress putting people first!
