Former Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (D) announced Thursday that she will run again for her old seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Edwards had been gearing up for a campaign for several weeks, after Rep. Anthony G. Brown (D) announced he would vacate the seat to run for Maryland attorney general.
“The fact is, our congressional district no longer gets our fair share from Washington. We’ve got to fix that. And I will,” Edwards says in a two-minute campaign launch video. “And I’ll go back with more seniority than most of the people in that building. That means clout to make sure our district has not just a seat at the table, but a seat at the front of the table where the decisions are made.”
