Anita Mpambara Cox, candidate for Senate, District 19 serves her community as commissioner on Montgomery County’s Charter Review Commission, and chair of Gaithersburg City’s Multicultural Affairs Committee. As a homemaker, Anita is running a “kitchen table” issues campaign to address the issues of concern to families. Education is first among them. Rising prices, out-of-control crime, high taxes, risks to personal freedom and folding businesses are close behind.

As founder and volunteer president of her international educational non-profit, she has provided almost 4 million school meals to rural children in her native Uganda in addition to other literacy and micro-finance programs benefiting over 15,000 families to alleviate poverty. In the US she started “Concrete Steps” post-COVID to help children catch up on pandemic lost learning as a tutor dedicated to helping bridge the education and digital gaps.

Anita will bring the same visionary hands-on leadership, experience and determination to help children and families in District 19 with her background in education, business, economics and immigration
