Social Media Photo Contest

Social Media Photo Contest

I use social media to provide quick updates on how I’m working for you in Washington and in Maryland. It’s a great way for us to stay in touch. But my Facebook and Twitter cover photos could use an update. That’s why I need your help.

If you have great photos of Maryland’s Sixth District, I hope you will join the Social Media Photo Contest for the Sixth Congressional District. Your picture could be our new cover photo!

Please refer to this page for more information on contest rules and how you can enter today!
