The Maryland NOW Political Action Committee consists of the above named officers and a representative of each chapter in our state organization.
The Maryland NOW PAC requests any interested political candidates in the state to take a few minutes to request a questionnaire.
For Federal Office
If the candidate is seeking a federal office, these endorsements are made through the National NOW PAC, based at our national offices in downwon Washington, DC. These requests are handled through Maryland NOW’s state president. Write to her at president@marylandnow.org
For Maryland
For Maryland statewide offices, please contact us for a questionnaire, which a candidate completes and returns to the Maryland NOW PAC staff as directed.
We suggest that all candidates read our Statement of Purpose carefully, and review our PAC history. The 2018-2022, and the 2022-2026 cycles are posted on this page.

Working to elect women to political office in our state has been a major organizational priority throughout Maryland NOW’s history. Our PAC is active at the state level, so in addition to legislative campaigns, we also make endorsements in county or judicial campaigns in the state of Maryland
We cannot endorse in Federal campaigns, such as for the U.S. Congress and for national office. We can, however, make recommendations to the National NOW PAC for federal and national races. Our PAC makes those recommendations to National NOW based on our communication with our members in that District on the way they feel this race affects them.
Our PAC is made up of a representative from each of our member chapters. We also seek input from areas of the state where we don’t currently have as many chapters, so if you’re in such an area we’d love to hear from you and include you in our process. We currently use SurveyMonkey to distribute PAC Questionnaires to candidates running for statewide office. The PAC members meet, usually through videoconferencing, to discuss and make endorsements.
