Dear Friends,

Bill Romani, a long time member of the Maryland Chapter, has announced his candidacy for an open seat in the House of Delegates 46th district (South Baltimore, Canton, Highlandtown). In addition to his teaching and research at the University of Maryland and his work with the national and local chapters, Bill has been very active in his community with a number of non-profits focused on providing access to health care for low income patients and quality education for inner city students.

There has not been an open seat in the 46th district since 1994. As a result, this election is a rare opportunity to make sure that there is a physical therapist in the legislature to help prepare the state’s health care system for reform and prevent encroachment on our practice act by other professions.

Please consider helping Bill win this September’s democratic primary by clicking HERE to make a contribution, to volunteer to knock doors or call voters, or to spread the word about Bill on Facebook and Twitter. For those of you who live outside of the Baltimore area you can still sign up to make phone calls right from your home pc or laptop! Visit billromani.com to contribute, sign up, or find out more information about Bill and his campaign.

In 2003 Bill founded the University of Maryland’s Service Learning Center to provide physical therapy services to uninsured residents of west Baltimore. The following year his non-profit, the MammoJam Music Festival, Inc. started using live music performances to raise money for uninsured and low income women to receive breast cancer screening and treatment. In 2009 MammoJam helped subsidize over 40 mammograms and funded an outreach translator at Harbor Hospital to recruit woman from predominantly Latino clinics to receive free breast cancer screenings.
