A former Baltimore radio host who departed WBAL Radio last week has decided to run for a U.S. House of Representatives seat.
Yuripzy Morgan announced her campaign for the Republican nomination on Monday. She has been the host of the “Yuripzy Morgan Show” since 2019. Morgan said she will miss her radio family, but she can no longer sit back and watch as issues go unresolved.
“I’m running for Congress District 2,” Morgan said in an Instagram post. “I can’t just talk about the issues; I have to fix them. We have a long way to go and a short amount of time to get there.”
During her press conference Monday, Morgan took aim at Maryland politicians who she said have been in office for far too long.
“Places like Baltimore, Dundalk, Essex, Glen Burnie, Brooklyn Park – you helped build this state and this country,” she said. “These politicians may have forgotten you, but I won’t. I won’t because I still believe in the America that you helped build.”
According to WBAL Radio, Morgan came in fourth during a previous run for the 2nd Congressional District in 2016.
As for Morgan’s old show, newcomer Kimberly Klacik will fill the void until management decides what to do with the daypart.
