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

WASHINGTON (AP) — Eighteen months after he lost a bid for the state’s highest office, Maryland’s former lieutenant governor is finding that a safely Democratic seat in Congress is no easy consolation prize.

Anthony Brown is in a three-way battle with a former prosecutor and a state delegate for an open seat in the state’s 4th District, which borders Washington. He’ll have to persuade Democrats who were either disappointed he lost the race for governor or didn’t vote for him. He also has to ask for fresh contributions from donors who helped him raise $21 million only to see him lose to Republican Larry Hogan.

Poor Tony, the consummate Democrat "Brown has taken in $617,000 in contributions but has already spent $785,000, the report shows. The loan leaves him with $224,000 left to spend." Wait, wasn't he in charge of that whole MD Health Exchange,too?

We didn't want him then and we certainly don't want him now...he touts his desire to maintain the POSPOTUS legacy....ya right!

We're trying to survive it - we don't want any more!
