With Honor Endorses Rushern Baker for Congress in Maryland’s 5th District
National bipartisan organization dedicated to electing veterans to Congress backs Baker in open-seat race
Baker leads significantly in early polling
WASHINGTON, DC — With Honor, a bipartisan organization dedicated to electing military veterans to Congress and promoting principled, cross-partisan leadership, today endorsed Rushern Baker, an Army veteran, in his campaign for Maryland’s 5th Congressional District.
With Honor is one of the most respected bipartisan organizations operating in federal elections, known for backing candidates who demonstrate integrity, a commitment to collaboration, and a willingness to put country over party.
Through its affiliated PAC, the organization has helped elect and support dozens of members of Congress from both parties who are committed to governing responsibly and working across the aisle.
“I’m honored to have the support of With Honor,” said Baker. “This is a moment that demands serious leadership—people who know how to govern, work across the aisle, and deliver results from day one. That’s how I’ve led throughout my career, and that’s exactly how I’ll serve in Congress.”
Baker, an Army veteran and two-term County Executive of Prince George’s County, led one of the most significant economic and fiscal turnarounds in the region—strengthening the local economy, expanding access to healthcare, and restoring credibility in government. He is running for Congress to bring that same results-driven leadership to Washington—focused on lowering costs, expanding access to affordable healthcare, and standing up to Trump.
In their endorsement, the organization said, “As an Army veteran, State Delegate, and Prince George's County Executive, Rushern Baker has delivered results every step of the way. He is ready on day one to lead in Congress for the people of Maryland’s 5th District and we are proud to support his campaign.”
With Honor’s endorsement signals growing momentum behind Baker’s campaign as voters begin to engage more closely in the race. The organization’s support highlights Baker’s reputation as a serious, experienced leader who can be effective from day one and work across the aisle to advance meaningful solutions.
Maryland’s 5th Congressional District is an open-seat race following the retirement of longtime Congressman Steny Hoyer, making it one of the most closely watched Democratic primaries in the country.
Baker currently leads the field significantly in early polling and has built a broad coalition of support across Prince George’s County and Southern Maryland.
