A familiar face in the local community, Laurel has an extensive understanding of the downtown area, service and retail industries, as well as Dorchester County’s tourism industry. Her involvement in community programs such as the Dorchester Center for the Arts, the RFC Train Garden, and Blackwater Adventures’ kayak tours demonstrates her commitment to enriching the city’s cultural heritage and youth development.
Laurel’s campaign focuses on open communication, stronger community connections, and healthy progress for Cambridge. Her unique blend of skills and passion for the community make her an exceptional candidate to represent Ward 1.
Voting will take place on June 6, 2023, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church located at 205 Maryland Ave. Absentee ballot request forms are available on the city’s website at choosecambridge.com.

About Lower Shore Progressive Caucus: The LSPC is a political and activist organization that covers Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties. The Lower Shore Progressive Caucus is unaffiliated with any political party and is committed to empowering working people. We do that by building a Progressive Movement both locally and on a larger scale to elect progressive representatives, enact progressive legislation, and create a government that represents the many, not just the powerful few by working to solve the economic, political, social, racial, and environmental injustices we face.
