GOVERNORS, ATTORNEY GENERAL, CABINET
SECRETARIES ENDORSE JORDAN COOPER
Bethesda, MD, April 26TH, 2018 – Four
statewide elected officials announced their endorsement of Jordan Cooper’s
campaign to represent District 16 in the Maryland House of Delegates.
Governor Parris Glendening had this to say of
his endorsement: “As Governor I championed Smart Growth strategies that
preserved open space, reduced commutes, and respected our environment. Jordan
Cooper has spent years serving his community on civic boards where he has
advocated for Smart Growth policies. I endorse Jordan because of his commitment
to improving the quality of life for all Marylanders and for ensuring that our
communities and our environmental resources will be protected for future
generations."
Governor Harry Hughes and Lieutenant Governor
Mickey Steinberg joined Glendening in their support of Jordan’s candidacy.
Fellow District 16 resident and former
Attorney General of Maryland Doug Gansler praised Jordan’s work ethic,
comprehension of complex policy issues, and commitment to public service. On
June 26, 2018, Gansler said that he will cast one of his three delegate votes
for Jordan Cooper.
Regarding Jordan’s plan to create cost
savings for Marylanders on their monthly health insurance premiums, former
Maryland Health Secretary Van Mitchell said that “Maryland can no longer afford
not to have universal health insurance coverage. I support Jordan’s plan to
expand Medicaid as a public option, creating long term savings for Marylanders,
and I fully endorse his campaign.” Former Business and Economic Development
Secretary Dave Edgerley likewise offered his full endorsement to Jordan’s
campaign.
