MVFA has released its first round of Endorsements for Humane Candidates in the 2014 Election!
Your vote is the powerful reason why you and your Maryland Votes for Animals-PAC (MVFA) has been so successful in promoting animal welfare in the

Maryland legislature over the past four years.  To keep this momentum going, your vote is crucial in the upcoming election now more than ever. 
 
You are the voice for all of Maryland's animals and they desperately need you to SPEAK UP and VOTE for MVFA Endorsed Humane Candidates for the Maryland General Assembly! 
 
What to do to make a real difference for animals with your Vote:  
 
Early voting is June 12th to June 19th.  Primary Election Day is June 24th.
 
CLICK on the MVFA Endorsed Humane Candidates list to see the candidates for the House of Delegates and the Senate who have been endorsed Humane in this round of endorsements for the Primary.  Write down the Humane Candidates for House and Senate in your District, then, GO VOTE for the animals!  Easy, quick, and critically important to saving lives! 
 
MVFA's future success for the humane treatment of Maryland's animals is in your hands.  Please vote for Humane Candidates.  It's the main thing that really does make a difference.
 
As Dr. Joseph Lamp, Chairman of MVFA said:  "Our all-volunteer staff has worked tirelessly, vetting the politicians and scrutinizing their voting records over the last 4 years.  But now it's up to loyal MVFA supporters to keep animal welfare issues in the forefront by winning at the voting booth!"  

*Please note, if there is not an endorsed candidate for your District in this round, please keep an eye out for future endorsements!

How does your vote help animals?
 
It works like this.  Humane Legislators, like humane champions Del. Barbara Frush and Sen. Joanne Benson, lead the way by sponsoring important animal bills like the life-saving and successful spay/neuter bill.  The Spay/Neuter bill, initiated by MVFA and several years in the making, resulted in a statewide spay/neuter program that is launching this year.  That program will literally save thousands of lives each and every year, and help end the suffering of thousands more across the state.  Other Humane Legislators sign on as needed co-sponsors of bills, or help pass animal welfare legislation favorably out of Committee and onto the Floor, where Humane Candidates ensure important animal bills become law. 
 
Make no doubt about it.  YOUR VOTE is what is keeping animal welfare on the front burner of the Maryland legislature.  MVFA-endorsed Humane Legislators are those representatives willing to champion and vote for animal protection legislation.   Please CLICK on the MVFA Endorsed Humane Candidates list, write down the Humane Candidates in your District, and GO VOTE!
 
And be sure to share this page with your friends and family so they can know who the Humane Candidates are in the upcoming election!  A link will be posted on the MVFA Facebook page too! 

P.S: Don't know your Legislative District? Find it at the Maryland Board of Elections website.  Once your info is up, click the tab labeled "My Voting Districts" and look for "Legislative District".   Your Senate District is the number, and your Delegate district is the number plus the letter.  E.g.  If it says you are in "Legislative District" 27B, that means you are in Senate district 27, and House of Delegates district 27B.
* Don't see a humane candidate listed for your District?  Keep your eye out for future endorsements - evaluations of the candidates are ongoing by our all-volunteerstaff working around the clock for Maryland's animals!
