...Representative-for-life from Maryland, representing half of Baltimore City, which makes his district ultra-safe, and most of Howard County, which is out-populated by the city.

, D-Md., and chairwoman of the Maryland Democratic Party, is expected to run for her late husband’s House seat, according to a report.

Rockeymoore has not yet said whether she plans to run, The Washington Examiner reported.

The Maryland Democratic Party released a statement that Rockeymoore would not be making announcements while she grieves.

#3 ...There needs to be a 28th Amendment:

1) No person shall be named nor elected to a vacant seat in the House of Representatives or Senate if they are directly related by blood or marriage to the previous office holder.

2) Any person who is disqualified under the above standard may run for the office at the second general election following.

Not even the Soviets did this crap.

#8 ^ Shakedown artist who has extorted millions from Johnson and Johnson and other corporates regulated by her hubby's committee.

This is corruption hidden in plain sight. Not even trying to hide it. Avenatti-ish.
