A CHAMPION FOR MARYLAND

Joe was born in Uruguay and immigrated to the U.S with his parents when he was three years old. From being a community leader to being a State Delegate in Maryland, Joe Vogel is a reflection that anything is possible in this country. In his career, Joe has led bipartisan legislation to address some of our most pressing challenges like addressing the fentanyl crisis and making major investments in mental health services. 

He brought more mental health professionals into Maryland public schools and amended Governor Moore’s Educator Shortage Act which ensures that Maryland students will have a world-class education while having access to mental health resources when needed. For the fentanyl crisis, he gained bipartisan support to pass the Josh Siems Act which helped improve fentanyl testing processes in Maryland hospitals.

Joe has spent many years in advocacy, starting at 15 years old when he volunteered for Obama’s campaign. In 2016, he joined Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign as well. He did not give up when Donald Trump won, jumping into the fight to advocate for gun-violence prevention, reproductive rights, and LGBTQIA+ rights. 

Joe has continued to organize in his community and fought to increase education funding for Maryland students by founding Learn it Together, a nationwide education nonprofit that provides free tutoring for children of essential workers. Joe is ready to continue fighting for Marylanders if elected to Congress.
