Bio

Ed Boyd grew up in the suburbs of Miami, Florida. He enrolled in the United States Navy soon after his high school graduation and served during the U.S./Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

After being discharged from the military, Ed became homeless for a brief time and soon became involved with the Community for Creative Non-Violence (CCNV), the homeless advocacy organization headed by activist Mitch Snyder. Ed also lived in Vermont before moving to Baltimore, where he resides today, working as a recruiter for a temp employment agency.

Ed Boyd and his running mate, James Madigan, are seeking the Green Party nomination for Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Maryland.

Campaign Issues

Of note, he is opposed to the proposed Maryland Inter County Connector superhighway project (he will be the only anti-ICC candidate on the ballot), and his campaign has called for the re-regulation and "Marylandization" (state takeover and control) of the state's electric utilities (this position is also unique among the gubernatorial candidates).

Endorsements

On July 6, 2006, the Democracy for America affiliate Democracy for Baltimore officially endorsed Boyd's candidacy for Governor.
