Craig Hayes is the pro-labor & pro-democracy reform candidate running for Maryland State Delegate in District 22 to bring a new generation of leadership to Annapolis. Craig believes that all Marylanders should have a meaningful voice in every election. That is why he supports electoral reforms like proportional ranked choice voting, special elections for state legislative vacancies, and public financing for elections. With nearly two decades of experience organizing political campaigns and working directly with elected officials and community leaders, Craig will be ready on day one to represent the people of District 22.

“I refuse to stand by idly while ICE prepares a massive operation to snatch my neighbors off the streets and send them across the state to an illegal detention center in the county where I was raised.
In the fight against creeping fascism, we must not only protect but strengthen our democracy and declare that this heinous ideology has no quarter in the state of Maryland. ”
