Ben Jealous, the Democratic candidate for Maryland governor, has pledged to deliver an all-Democratic congressional delegation if he’s elected.
At the Baltimore County Democratic Party Unity Dinner in Timonium on Thursday, Jealous warned his fellow Democrats that Republican Gov. Larry Hogan would work to place more Republicans in Congress.
Jealous, who is trailing Hogan among county voters according to recent polls, said he would make sure there are none.
“Our congressional delegation is on the ballot this November — not just their re-election, but their districts,” Jealous told the audience. “I would send eight Democrats to Congress and he would send four — and four Republicans.”
Whoever is elected governor in November will oversee the state’s redistricting process after the 2020 census, although the governor’s plan would need the approval of the Democrat-controlled General Assembly.
Maryland’s congressional delegation is currently made up of seven Democrats and one Republican: Rep. Andy Harris. Democrats outnumber Republicans by about 2-to-1 in Maryland, in terms of registered voters.

Listen to him.
ReplyDeleteYou think the Second Amendment is the END of his focus?? He will have NO PROBLEM making sure that, as an OPPOSING VIEWPOINT, YOU get no play.
Your voice will be silenced and eliminated.
Newspapers will print only what HE likes.
Don't even TRY to get your name on a ballot.
Debates??? LOL! They don't need no stinkin' debates.
You cheer. They deliver.
If you don't like what's getting delivered, you can be "re-educated" so your thinking is clear.
Or just killed.
It might be too late to say this now, but you better be careful about what you cheer for.
They pay attention to THAT....
