Edwards confronts black lawmakers over refusal to back her

[Tate]

AP called the race for Van Hollen. As far as DNC people go, he's not the worst. Disappointed that Edwarss lost tho, really hope she stays active going forward

 

[the next guy]

They're both giving up their seats.

I hope Jamie Raskin wins the primary for Van Hollen's seat.

Anthony Brown, Glenn Ivey, and Joseline Pena-Melnyk are going for Donna's seat. Brown's corny ass prolly gonna lose again

Md. House race no easy comeback for ex-lieutenant governor

Brown should pull this off, or go lobby cause it's over.

Feel bad for Donna, voted for her but not unhappy CVH won either

She's gotta start her run at hogan tonight

Yeah, sadly.

 

[dennis roadman]

Yeah, sadly.

MD DNC needs to stop eating its own and downgrade Brown and throw all they have (which is a lot) behind Edwards to get hogan gone

No way such a blue state should have him at the top

her letter to supporters

When I announced my candidacy for the United States Senate, I said I wouldn’t run away from who I was or the life I’ve lived.

I’m a black woman, a single mom who struggled to put food on the table and pay for childcare, a woman who walked into a Planned Parenthood when she needed healthcare, an Air Force brat, and just one of the millions of women who has received unequal pay in the workplace for my equal work as a lawyer, systems engineer, and non-profit executive.

Those experiences shape who I am as a person, my values, and how I legislate in Congress.

History was talked about a lot on this campaign, and it should be -- because history matters.

It matters for the hundreds of young women and girls I met who watched me run for this Senate seat and thought “this is something I can do.”

Who will look to the nation's space program, boardrooms, workplaces, and know that they belong.

I think about when I was a young girl and my dad was stationed at Andrews Air Force base. After church on Sundays when the weather was nice we would go to the hill outside of the U.S. Capitol and I would look up at that big white building -- I never dreamed that could be my office.

I hope for all the women and girls across Maryland and the country that I helped shatter that idea -- even just a little bit. Because for every girl who’s never told she could run for Congress, run for Senate, be an engineer, or go to law school, I want to say to you right now -- you can do this.

Be what you want to be, do what you want to do -- you can be anything you dream of.

This campaign for the U.S. Senate ends tonight, but the values that drive us to fight for what we believe in, and the dreams I hope we inspired in young people to change the face of our democracy, never will.

Thank you for being a part of this with me,

Donna

DMV and NY been looking for their Obama since 2004 tho. Brown was it. Hell he had the military experience as well. He's not good at retail politics.

NY has Hakeem Jefferies.

Van Hollen defeats Edwards in heated Democratic primary for Maryland Senate seat

Rep. Chris Van Hollen won a hard-fought Senate primary that exposed racial and gender divisions within the Maryland Democratic Party, defeating Rep. Donna F. Edwards for the nomination. He will compete in November for a rare open Senate seat — Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D) is retiring after serving 30 years.

African American turnout reached record levels, exceeding 2008 when President Obama first ran and outnumbering white voters, according to exit polls. Yet the candidate who would have been Maryland’s first black senator and the second black woman to ever serve in the U.S. Senate fell short.

Moments after conceding at a union hall in Prince George’s County, Edwards gave a passionate, 13-minute speech criticizing “her friends in the state Democratic Party,” which she said is on the verge of “an all-male delegation in a so-called progressive state.” She said Democrats cannot continue to ignore women and people of color.

At a Bethesda Marriott packed with a crowd of 300, Van Hollen praised Edwards “for being a strong advocate for Democratic Party values and priorities.”

As a senator, Van Hollen said, he would fight to reduce gun violence, combat climate change and “end the scandal of mass incarceration.”
