Howard Progressive Project

HPP is proud to endorse Vanessa Atterbeary for Howard County Executive. A native Howard Countian, attorney, and former chair of the Maryland House Ways and Means Committee, Vanessa has spent over a decade in Annapolis championing public education, gun safety, and equity, and she's ready to bring that same tenacity home. A victory for Vanessa would make her the first Black woman to serve as Howard County Executive, a milestone long overdue in a county as diverse as ours. We believe she will be a tremendous asset to Howard County and our entire community.
