OMalleys Son: Mission for Father to Include People with Different Obstacles in Economy
Manchester, NH, Dec. 28 At a briefing organized by RespectAbility last week on the disability vote, several campaigns sent their New Hampshire state directors and other representatives. Gov. Martin OMalley sent two individuals his N.H. State Director John Bivona and his son William, who was in town for the Democratic primary debate a few days earlier.
OMalley is just one of three campaigns, along with the Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush campaigns, to have met with RespectAbility in all of its state-specific meetings in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada showing that he is interested in having a strong relationship with disability groups.
This has definitely been a big issue of his, not only now that hes been on the campaign trail, but you can look at his record back in Maryland, OMalleys oldest son William said while attending the briefing on behalf of his fathers campaign. Its been a mission for him to include people with different obstacles in the economy, and thats one thing that he can say that not many other people running on either side can say.
In OMalleys home state of Maryland, 622,682 people have a disability. Of those who are of working age (18-64), 40 percent are employed, which is higher than the national average. According to the most recent Annual Disability Statistics Compendium, Maryland increased employment of people with disabilities by .5 percent from 2012 to 2013.
