Congressman Al Green (D-TX).  In September he introduced H.R. 5407, the Transparency in Policing Act (TIP) of 2014, "which would require state and local law enforcement agencies that receive funds from the Department of Justice to acquire body cameras for use by their law enforcement officers."

Ed. note.  Congressman Green seemed to be the only elected official to address the rally.  Democracy in Action did find one somewhat crumpled flyer from Larry E. Ealy, a longshot candidate from Ohio running for President in 2016.
