Dr. Dana Beyer wants to shake up Maryland’s leadership.
 
“People should vote for me because they want someone looking out for them, not just taking orders from the antiquated leadership,” she said. “We need a new approach to very serious economic difficulties if we are to reset our economy and move forward, building a better world for all.”

In her bid to represent Maryland’s 18th district in the state’s House of Delegates, Dana plans to serve as a powerful voice for the marginalized and vulnerable. In her job as a staff member for Montgomery County Councilmember Duchy Trachtenberg, Dana has helped advocate for seniors and mental health rights. Dana also passionately fought for the passage of a law that banned discrimination based on gender expression or identity.

On that note, Dana’s experience in fighting for LGBT equality is extensive. She serves on the Board of Directors of the National Center for Transgender Equality, the Human Rights Campaign’s Board of Governors, and Equality Maryland. She also helped found Basic Rights Montgomery, which successfully fought against an attempt to overturn Montgomery County’s transgender anti-discrimination law.

With her local political, governmental and advocacy experience, Dana has walked the walk. Furthermore, as a physician Dana brings a special skill set, analytical approach and compassion to politics rarely seen.
 
When she wins her election, Dana will become the first openly transgender individual to ever win election to any state legislature in the country – an enormous milestone. Help Dana break this barrier and serve the residents of her district by contributing to her campaign today.
