Progressive news, politics, actions true to a movement for a government truly by & for the people. Progressives - more than simply anti-conservatives, or an alternative liberal name. We feel democratic rule; stand & value action over talk, facts over corporate media spin, honesty over double-speak, people over profits, transparency, accountability, change + diversity over obedience to power. Our big stick to stop class, family, economic sector, or corporation from becoming establishment.

My name is Ashwani Jain, and I am a Democrat running for Congress to represent Maryland’s 6th Congressional District which includes Northern Montgomery County as well as Frederick, Washington, Allegany, and Garrett Counties.
While I would be the first Millennial and first Asian-American ever elected to represent Maryland in Congress, I am specifically running because I have comprehensive policy solutions that will open the doors of opportunity for our community.
This is an open seat with no incumbent, and Maryland's Primary election is on the 14th of May.
My top policy priorities include:
- Combatting the influence of corporate money in politics and campaigning.
- Making public college free as an investment in our future.
- Establishing a system of Medicare for All which includes access to reproductive health.
- Increasing the minimum wage to $26 by 2030 to account for inflation, cost of living, and productivity.
Please feel free to ask any questions regarding my policies, the Congressional election, my experience campaigning, or anything else!

Too begin, all are doomed to lose the primary. Only 1 is doomed to lose the general--Uncommitted. So rather than picking what is now a single issue candidate in Uncommitted, pick the candidate who honestly supports the most progressive issues. For me, that's Cenk Uygur. Open to others still. It's tempting to write in Barbara Lee or Gretchen Whitmer or AOC. We need more than a single progressive issue candidate/meme.
