They’re 70 years old and older, they’ve served two decades or more in the Maryland General Assembly, and they’re not about to retire.

This is the best reason to vote for the A. Kaye Kenney's who are not career politicians but new faces with fresh ideas. We need to rid ourselves of those who won't retire but instead want to hold their positions of power. It becomes an ego trip for them.
Of course there's much to do...because most of them have been doing NOTHING for YEARS!
I will be voting AGAINST EVERY long time incumbent this election and I'm hopeful there are many other Americans doing the same thing.
These people have had more than enough time to to the JOB!
