We are proud to endorse Laurie-Anne Sayles, who will make history as the first Caribbean-heritage member of the Montgomery County Council. Board members spoke emotionally about their pride in endorsing CASA in Action Executive Director Alonzo Washington for reelection as Delegate in the 22nd district.
CASA in Action will play a significant role in engaging Black and brown voters from across the state to elect these dynamic candidates. In making endorsements, the CASA in Action board, democratically elected from activist committees across four states, reviewed voting history, questionnaire responses, history with the organization and its members, and electoral viability.
