It gives me great pleasure to endorse Tazeen Ahmad’s candidacy for Delegate

representing D 16 in Annapolis. Tazeen is exactly the person you want to represent us in the General Assembly. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the people and procedures necessary to get things done in Annapolis. She will do an amazing job on our behalf, because she doesn’t just listen to what people say, she hears them. Tazeen understands the challenges of living and thriving in Maryland and in D16, and she will work her hardest to ensure that legislation that is considered by the General Assembly will help all of us meet those challenges.

environment is outstanding. I am proud to endorse Tazeen’s campaign to be a D-16

"I have had the opportunity to work with Tazeen on many important issues. In these perilous times, I want a leader like Tazeen, who will stand up and act for justice and support our rights. She’s not one to be mumbling platitudes and doing nothing. She is in the tradition of JR and CVH. Tazeen For Our Times!" 

Former Executive Director, Emerge Maryland

Tazeen's long history of volunteer public service makes her the right choice for District 16 Delegate. She has dedicated countless volunteer hours to advocating for equity in representation and amplifying the voices of those who have been excluded from the conversation. Tazeen's work in advocating for victims's rights and the unhoused provides her with insight into where the gaps in services exist. She can bring her experience to the General Assembly to help close those gaps. The people of District 16, Montgomery County, and all of Maryland will benefit from her knowledge, dedication, and experience.
