The Sierra Club proudly endorses
Raaheela Ahmed
for State Senate District 23
Raaheela Ahmed is a national nonprofit executive and democracy advocate. She has served as the Student Regent on the University System of Maryland Board of Regents, and as an elected member of the Prince George’s County Board of Education from 2016 to 2022. During her time on the Board of Education, she led efforts to address climate change. Raaheela Ahmed supports 100% clean energy, water and air; zero-emissions transportation; eliminating landfill and food waste; preventing artificial intelligence data centers that damage neighborhoods and increase our energy and water bills; and environmental justice policies.
It’s Time for a New State Senator
During his 8 years in office, the current state senator has not originated any meaningful legislation to improve the environment. Instead, he complains about environmental efforts without suggesting improvements. Raaheela Ahmed will be a strong advocate for clean energy, improving transportation options, and preventing data centers from causing higher electricity prices.
Raaheela Ahmed is also endorsed by the Prince George's County Education Association, Third Act Maryland, and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) Action Fund.
