ANNAPOLIS, MD – Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller endorsed Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States. She issued the following statement:
"Adlai Stevenson said, 'Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.' President Biden is the quintessential example of this. His lifetime of dedication to our country shows what true patriotism looks like.
"From beginning his public service journey as a county councilman in 1970 to becoming one of the youngest U.S. Senators in history, Joe Biden's commitment to our nation is unwavering. He served as Vice President to the first Black American President and now holds the highest office in the land, dedicating over 50 years to public service.
"President Biden has always been a proud partner for Maryland. His unwavering support during the FSK Bridge collapse brought hope to our state in one of its darkest moments.
"President Biden understands the threats we face to our democracy. He prioritized our nation's future in an ultimate display of patriotism, by placing country above self-interest. As he has done for more than five decades, President Biden continues to be the leader we need.
"Both President Biden and Governor Wes Moore, who served our nation in uniform, exemplify true patriotism - something the country needs now more than ever.
"I am honored to follow their lead and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. When Vice President Harris is sworn in as the 47th President of United States in January 2025, after almost 250 years, a woman of color will write our nation's next chapter-one built on inclusivity, opportunity, and hope, showing the limitless possibilities that lie ahead for every young person in our nation."
