Our Team
Senator Waldstreicher is proud to run for re-election with an amazing team of legislators. The District 18 Democratic Team is Senator Waldstreicher and Delegates Al Carr, Emily Shetty, and Jared Solomon. They are united as friends, lawmakers, colleagues, and teammates. Together, they work to ensure that our community has a strong, responsive, and progressive team in Annapolis.
This past legislative session Senator Waldstreicher and his teammates played a pivotal role in passing The Relief Act, which provided $1.5 billion to struggling families, businesses, and nonprofits. In addition, they helped secure a Montgomery County mass vaccination site and even organized their own vaccine clinic in Wheaton. Together they’ve delivered record investments in our schools and parks, and fought for critical pedestrian safety improvements. The District 18 Democratic Team has held dozens of community events and town halls and successfully assisted over 1000 residents with constituent service issues.
