DemBiz Welcomes Delegate Michelle Maldonado

Michelle Maldonado is an entrepreneur, tech leader, public servant, mother, and wife focused on building stronger, safer communities. Michelle has spent her life working in difficult environments, bringing people together, and finding solutions that make our tomorrow better than today.

Michelle is a former corporate and tech attorney turned business leader who has worked to strengthen compassion, civility, and accountability within tech companies, corporations, governmental organizations, and law enforcement. Whether it’s supporting our veterans, or working with U.S. Customs during the last presidential administration, helping Flint, MI, heal in the wake of the water crisis, supporting community leaders in Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd, partnering with United Nations peacekeepers and humanitarian aid workers, working with youth in our community, or supporting Congressional staffers’ recovery following the January 6th insurrection, Michelle has brought people together to find solutions.

Michelle made history as the first woman and first person of color to represent her district in the more than 400-year history of the Virginia House of Delegates. As Delegate, she has led efforts to modernize our economy to keep pace with changing technology, strengthen public schools, protect our reproductive rights, fight for good-paying jobs, make housing more affordable, and keep our communities safe from gun violence.

Now, Michelle is running for Congress to keep taking on the tough fights, solve problems, and create pathways to opportunity. She knows that when we work together, everyone is that much stronger.
