Former nonprofit executive Jon Baron has selected Natalie Williams, who has a long history in District politics as a former spokeswoman for Marion Barry and a former Ward 8 president, to join his ticket in his bid to become Maryland’s next governor.
Williams, who began her career in television journalism, lives in Prince George’s County and serves as a communications executive for the Maryland Business Roundtable for Education. She has worked as a senior staff member with the D.C. Council and the D.C. Board of Education.
Baron, one of 10 candidates vying for the Democratic nomination, said Williams brings more than 20 years of experience in government, communications and community engagement to the team.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to have Natalie join the campaign,” Barron said in a statement. “She’s had an incredible career in public service — from her executive roles in leading nonprofit organizations to her launch of a foundation to increase breast cancer awareness and her extensive work in government and local news.” Read more at The Washington Post.
