Two nonbinary candidates make history with election to Maryland’s Democratic Central Committee

After months of campaigning, and then breaking barriers as the state’s first openly nonbinary candidates elected to the Democratic Central Committee, Tia Hopkins and Antonio Bowens both know that now the real work begins. Hopkins, 34, reported being inundated with calls and messages from local well-wishers in light of the win. Votes will be certified this week, according to Hopkins.
