I am Joseph Gomes, a husband, father, and dedicated social worker with a strong commitment to youth empowerment. I am focused on fostering positive changes for our youth and working-class families.

Over the past 29 years, my family and I have proudly called Prince George’s County, Maryland, our home. My wife Mary and I, along with our children Benedicta, Matilda, Peter, and Matthew, are active members of the Roman Catholic Christian community at St. Mark’s Catholic Church in Maryland. My educational journey includes a Bachelor of Commerce degree and Master of Commerce (preliminary) from Dhaka University. I earned a professional diploma in medical billing and business consulting from Prince George’s Community College.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in various social and community groups, churches, civic associations, and local government councils. Currently, I serve as Vice President of the Prince George’s County Calverton Citizens Association (CCA) and am actively engaged with the Prince George’s County Beltsville Police Division VI Citizen Advisory Council (CAC). For nearly three decades, I have dedicated my efforts to serving the local community through the Bangladesh Christian Association Inc. (BCA) in the greater Washington DC Metropolitan area, holding roles such as director, general secretary, and president. Together, let us work towards a brighter future for our community and our nation.
