The Democratic Business Council of Maryland (“DemBiz”) was established to provide a voice to business oriented democrats in Maryland. We believe that a vibrant economy is a Democrats best friend.  At DemBiz we work to change the perception that Maryland as not business friendly and to advocate for policies which are business friendly, but with a democratic bent. The organization was modeled from the Democratic Business Council of Northern Virginia which was established over 15 years ago and been very successful.

DemBiz Maryland holds meetings where democrat business owners can have constructive dialogues with elected leaders regarding business policies. We believe that the relationship between business and the democratic party is important. Business is jobs, business is the economy, business is our standard of living. We want a voice for those interests within the democratic party. 

For too long Maryland has been viewed as not being business friendly. Our founding members were tired of the perception that Maryland Dems are hostile to business and wanted to demonstrate that Maryland and its democrats welcome business.

We want to advocate for policies that are business friendly. We intend to do it without copying republicans. We do it better. We respect workers. We respect families. We respect diversity. Because of that we can and will build a better and more successful business environment.
