"A tale of two districts"

Maryland's 8th District sent Chris Van Hollen to Congress less than six years ago. In that short time Van Hollen has taken on a number of leadership positions in both the party and the Congress, and he is becoming a nationally familiar face for the Democratic Party. Right next door is our own 4th District, which has been "represented" by Al Wynn for about 15 years now -- more than TWICE as long as Van Hollen. After all that time he holds NO leadership position higher than chair of an obscure subcommittee. There is no evidence that Wynn has any discernible political philosophy beyond staying in office. Even if you don't care about your Representative's ideological purity, you'd hope that he could at least gain enough influence to bring his own district some tangible benefits, right? Wynn hasn't bothered. So even when he tries to brag about the pork he's brought home, the amounts are invariably paltry -- a few hundred thousand dollars here and there. Small compensation for the many corporate giveaways that he's faithfully enabled over the years. The 4th District is one of the most progressive in the country. It deserves a REAL progressive representative. More than that, it deserves a representative who's energetic and ethical. Vote for Donna Edwards!

— Samuel Glover
