Edwards Versus Wynn

There is another article about the Edwards-Wynn race for the Maryland 4th District in today's Washington Post. I am a resident of that District, and I support Edwards.

Excerpt:

Prince George's County lawyer Donna F. Edwards has raised more in campaign money over the past four months than U.S. Rep. Albert R. Wynn, a sign that what was once an upstart effort to oust the eight-term incumbent has turned into a serious challenge......

Edwards's latest filings reflect previous reports. She received the bulk of her money, 95 percent, from individual donors.......

Wynn has been largely funded by political action committees, including many that represent large companies and industry groups. Seventy-one percent of money raised in the latest period came from PACs.....

Independent groups, including the Service Employees International Union and the League of Conservation Voters, have been pouring money into the district in independent efforts to oust Wynn. They say that he has catered to corporate interests and allied himself too often with Republicans.......

The liberal group moveon.org recently bought more than $150,000 in TV ads, and the League of Conservation Voters has spent more than $120,000 since December. All told, more than $1.2 million in independent expenditures have been logged against Wynn......

But last week, the political action committee of the National Association of Realtors reported that it is spending more than $300,000 on an independent effort to support Wynn.

Comment: I have no doubt that in this District, people should vote with the Employees International Union, the environmentalists, and MoveOn.org, and against the realtors. JAD

Vote for Donna Edwards!

Democracy for America

says about Donna:

We know where Donna Edwards stands. She is the consistent progressive in the race we can count on to fight for our values everyday, not just during election season. Yet, her opponent Al Wynn has been on the run, flipping positions and double-talking his record since the campaign started.

While Donna has stood up against the war in Iraq since the beginning, Congressman Wynn voted with Bush on Iraq from day one. With Democrats like Al Wynn, the GOP doesn't even need to run a Republican. Support Donna Edwards today with $15 and let's kick Bush Democrats out of Congress.
