He could become the first Iraq veteran elected Governor
When Army Colonel Anthony Brown received his mobilization orders for Iraq, he left his post in the Maryland House of Delegates and began a ten month tour with the 353rd Civil Affairs Command.
One year after his return, he was elected the state’s Lt. Governor, and you would be hard pressed to find someone who has done more to help veterans re-acclimate to life at home after overseas deployments.
His work passing the Veterans Behavioral Health Act has helped those coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan receive the mental health care they need, and the Veterans Full Employment Act has driven Maryland’s unemployment rate for veterans well below the national average.
Now he’s running for Governor and VoteVets is honored to support his campaign. Lt. Gov Brown has an urgent campaign finance deadline that ends when the state’s General Assembly officially begins at midnight. Can you contribute $5 to his campaign right now?

Anthony Brown has a chance to become the first Iraq veteran to serve as a Governor.
Let’s help him realize that goal.
