FOR MD-01

Meet Dan Schwartz

Running for Congress wasn’t part of the plan. But these aren’t normal times. Dan is a regular guy who loves his family, community and our country. For over 14 years, he’s worked with state and federal regulators to protect consumers from financial misconduct and abuse. While the Trump administration, Elon Musk and Congressman Andy Harris have worked to cripple the ability of the federal government to protect Americans, Dan is a consumer watchdog who has worked to hold financial institutions accountable and put money back into the pockets of consumers. He’s a Democrat more than ready to help Marylanders fight back against MAGA extremists in Congress.

Meet Dan

Cutting waste, fraud, and unnecessary bureaucracy is crucial to achieving economic development. However, protecting Americans from collateral damage is non-negotiable.

Congressman Andy Harris is the leader of a small group of MAGA extremists in Congress who are wreaking havoc with devastating cuts to food, water, bridge, nuclear and air safety – endangering citizens while crashing the economy, vaporizing retirement accounts and gutting consumer protections. Andy Harris has done nothing to stop the Trump administration from driving our country off a cliff. And only holding two in-person town halls in the last six years shows that Andy Harris has long since tuned us all out.

Dan Schwartz believes Maryland deserves better.

Dan is a consumer watchdog who got his start after the 2008 financial crisis. Working with state banking regulators across the country and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Dan has helped protect consumers from financial fraud. 

A different kind of Democrat than what we’ve seen lately in Washington, Dan believes in letting the hard-working people of Maryland keep more of what they earn while protecting what makes our state special. Dan understands that working-class Marylanders need a voice in Congress who works for them, not someone who only listens to billionaires and the farthest extremes of his party.

Dan and his wife Megan live in the historic community of Bellevue, Maryland, once the heart of the state’s famous African American crab and oyster processing industry.

Dan’s commitment to fighting for working class families isn’t just professional – it’s personal. Megan is a family nurse practitioner in Dorchester County, where she sees firsthand how limited choices for specialty and mental health care, rising prescription drug costs, under-funded hospitals and insurers who only know how to say “no” are devastating families.

Dan will work to stop the never-ending grift, economic malpractice and gutless oversight in a Congress more concerned about their own jobs than ours.

In Congress, Dan will:

  • First off, listen to constituents. Unlike Andy Harris, Dan pledges to hold monthly town-hall meetings.
  • Support a ban on members of Congress trading equities, options, and crypto. He will represent you, not use inside information to enrich himself.
  • Fight dangerous Trump policies like spending freezes and unnecessary tariffs that cripple the state’s farmers and result in higher costs of living for Maryland residents.
  • Fight grift in Washington and protect consumers from corporate greed.
  • Restore public safety and trust in government by supporting and strengthening the vital programs that keep our water, food, bridges, and airlines safe.
  • Invest in Maryland’s future and protect its environment so working families can live in our state and benefit from its amazing natural resources.
  • Improve access to healthcare and stand up for patients’ rights.
