Progressive Cheverly

Adam Ortiz, the two-term Democratic mayor from Edmonston, has received the endorsement of the organization Progressive Cheverly in his bid to fill the open District 5 Prince George's County Council seat vacated by David Harrington, who replaced the deceased Gwendolyn Britt in the state Senate. 

According to their website, www.pipeline.com/~progchev/index.htm, Progressive Cheverly serves to promote "economic fairness, social justice, basic human rights, a sustainable environment, a tolerant society and world peace through a more informed political dialogue and active participation in civil society and the democratic political process." 

Terry Doyle, a spokesperson for the organization, told PolitickerMD.com that the group endorsed Ortiz because of his “environmental concerns” and “long-term concern about Prince George's Hospital.”
