FOR STATE SENATE DISTRICT 41

Today, the legacy of segregation, blockbusting, and disinvestment is visible across Baltimore. The city’s future depends on breaking the cycle of displacement and disinvestment. The road ahead is about power as much as policy. Baltimore must ensure that residents have real decision-making authority by choosing real representation.

Born in the 1970's and raised in Southeast Washington, DC, Ayo Kimathi came of age under the leadership of Mayor Marion Barry. Mr. Barry was a powerful man who transformed activism into policy and policy into opportunity. Like many D.C. youth, Ayo directly benefited from Barry’s Summer Youth Employment Program, which gave thousands of young people their first jobs and sense of purpose. That experience showed him firsthand how visionary leadership can change lives and how government, when rooted in the community, can empower rather than exploit.
