Congratulations to your son for throwing his hat into the ring, and to his family, whose love and support are always crucial, and to you and your husband. You have every right to be proud, Lorraine!

Thank you so much Paul. It's truly courageous to run for Congress in this climate and we're so proud and supportive of our son and his family. Your moral support means everything. In the long term I'm sure Michael is going to have an amazing impact on our politics. He's from one of the most challenging areas, Maryland being so deep purple, with both sides cooperating in ways that boggles my mind. Look at Larry Hogan. I could never support a Republican no matter how "moderate" but they eat that shit for lunch. They are so much stronger than me. Okay end of rant. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Fantastic for your son and for the great state of Maryland. Some districts have a bounty of well-qualified candidates while others have a dearth but an almost overwhelming number of bad faith actors running for office.

Thank you for reading and commenting, SPW. It sounds like you're a MD local. It's a crazy state right?

No, I could just wish. I’m a North Carolinian, a once purple state that has been hijacked by the Federalist Society right wing. Even the NC Supreme Court is heavily right wing now too. New maps will probably lead to even more seats going to republicans 😭.

Oh! NC is so beautiful, like FL, TX, ID, all being destroyed by the MAGA infiltation. Hope we can claw back soon.

If I lived in the 3rd district I’d vote for Michael! Maybe he can help us here in Baltimore.

I sent back a reply to the photo, but I don’t know if it was sent through to you because I received a message saying it was an unmonitored mailbox.

Congratulations and good luck to Michael! Unfortunately, I just reported yesterday that Congress died, but maybe Rep, Coburn can revive it.

Yes this is really challenging but he doesn't back down from a good fight. They love where they live and it's an important seat!
