Riverdale Park, MD – Today, Eve Shuman announced that her campaign for District 3’s
County Council seat has raised over $88,000 in six months. Shuman’s campaign currently
possesses a war chest of $58,000 cash on hand that will help propel the first-time candidate
to office.
Eve amassed an army of 266 donors from across the state and the country. The campaign
received donations from progressive advocates, community members, and politicians from
places like Maryland, Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, Texas, and Minnesota. Donors were
impressed with Shuman’s energy, compassion, tenacity, thorough progressive policy
platform, and vision for Prince George’s County.
Corey Slavitt, a voter in District 3, donated to Shuman’s campaign because she was tired of
“forever politicians using a revolving door” of political seats to stay in office. Slavitt stated,
“so even though I'm suddenly on an unexpected austerity plan, I feel compelled to chip in”
because “it is time for Eve Shuman to fill the District 3 seat.”
If elected, Eve Shuman would be the first person of color to hold the District 3 County
Council seat. She stated, “our people-powered movement is resonating with voters and
they are trusting us with their money during a global pandemic. I plan to continue to work
hard, spread our campaign’s message, and win the County Council seat because Prince
Georgians deserve a leader who will promote equity, opportunity, and diversity in our
community.”
