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.

Proud to be designated a Gun Sense candidate for #MD06 . On day one in Congress, I will fight to pass legislation that includes background checks on all gun sales, extended risk protection orders, and safe gun storage laws to address gun violence at its roots.

Our thousands of grassroots donors prove every day that this is a campaign powered by the people. With a little over 3 months until the election, we can't waste any time in getting the word out. Your contributions will help us bring it home on May 14th!

Electing some #MD06 representation that was born, raised, and actually lives in Western Maryland? I'm standing on business. In pink.

As the only Mayor running to represent #MD06 , I know what it takes to deliver results for constituents year-round. Rather than focusing on ideological fights that turn into gridlock, I will aim to create change for every #MD06 resident, from Mountain Maryland to MoCo!!

I am proud to have raised the most contributions under $200 in 2023. This is grassroots. While other candidates rely on millionaire donors or their own wealth, I'm proud to have working and middle-class folks power our campaign right here in #MD06 .

I'm thrilled that Frederick Co is opening an Office of Agriculture!! Farmers generate $180+ million for Frederick, and our local and natl govts must come together to provide more resources for farmers who are critical to #MD06 's economic development.

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!
