First Lady Michelle Obama Rallies Baltimore to Get Out The Vote for Anthony Brown and Ken Ulman on Tuesday

Press Release

Today, First Lady Michelle Obama drew over 1,500 supporters to a packed rally at the War Memorial Building in Baltimore, as Maryland prepares to turn out the vote for Anthony Brown and Ken Ulman on Tuesday. In her remarks, the First Lady highlighted the importance of voting on Election Day as well as the clear choice Maryland faces at the ballot.

"This is an important election and you have the opportunity to make history by voting for Anthony Brown for Governor," said First Lady Michelle Obama. "Anthony answered the call to serve our country, spending 30 years in the U.S. Army. He's a dedicated public servant ready to take on Maryland's toughest challenges, but he needs your voice and your vote. I hope you'll join me in supporting Anthony Brown for Governor."

"I'm honored to have First Lady Michelle Obama in Baltimore to help us get out the vote in this critically important election," said Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown. "The First Lady knows that the only way to build a better future for our families is by making our voices heard at the ballot box. Together, we'll build a brighter future by extending new ladders of opportunity to all Marylanders -- that work begins on Election Day."

In addition to the First Lady and Lt. Governor Anthony Brown, speakers at the rally included Howard County Executive Ken Ulman, Governor Martin O'Malley, Senator Barbara Mikulski, Senator Ben Cardin, Congressman Elijah Cummings, Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, Congressman John Sarbanes, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Baltimore City Council President Jack Young.

The First Lady's visit continued the Brown-Ulman campaign's strong momentum, coming on the heels of visits by President Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton to rally voters during the Early Vote period.

On Tuesday, thousands of Brown-Ulman volunteers across the state will work to get out the vote to win this election.
