Rush Baker IV grew up entrenched in politics, with his mother a congressional staffer in Washington D.C. and his father a state legislator in Maryland. Baker hasn’t pursued office, but he remains active in politics in Maryland and explores political themes through art. When the opportunity to be one of Maryland’s 106 delegates arose, he knew he wanted to be a part of it. Baker is one of thousands of delegates from around the U.S. who gathered at the United Center in the heart of Chicago, Illinois, for the Democratic National Convention this week to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris and Vice President Tim Walz.
