VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: JANUARY 2018

bOBBY b: OUR GO TO GUY FOR UNDERSTANDING LOCAL LAWS

Bobby B joined Represent Maryland when we were in a time of flux. It was just before the 2016 elections, and a lot of volunteers were getting burned out on politics. We actually took a break from being very active right after his first meeting, but he stuck with us anyway!
Bobby has been a great resource by helping us find where to look for answers, and working through problems. As one of our volunteers most informed about the current status of campaign fiance in MD, he co-wrote our Small Money Certification Criteria for 2018 elections. Bobby is consistent, keeps educating himself  and is eager to help, qualities that make him an invaluable volunteer!


Name: Bobby B
City: Germantown, MD
Age: 33
Time with RepMD: 1.5 years

How did you find out about RepMD?
A friend mentioned he'd gotten involved and it sounded interesting so I searched them out.

What made you want to volunteer with RepMD?
I liked the grassroots approach to taking on this massive issue that is deeply intertwined with all our other problems.

Why do you think getting big money out of politics is important?
Because this is the problem we have to solve before we can seriously address virtually any other problems within our society.

What is your favorite provision of the AACA and why?
Public campaign financing, because it addresses the problem of corruption most directly.

Besides fighting corruption, what else do you like to do?
Spend time with my family, and home brew beer.

What do you think the biggest problem our country is facing is?
Our government has been warped to protect and entrench those who are already powerful, while ignoring regular people.

Anything else you'd like us to know?
A couple favorite quotes I've found helpful when helping RepMD move the needle on some important work:
- Work the problem, not the person.
- Find error, not blame.
:-)
