US House Maryland District 7: Meh
Kweisi Mfume
incumbent, leans on credentials as generally positive force as house representative in the 80s and 90s with no serious communication of stances or issues[2]
floats between high paid consultant positions like AT&T in recent decades, giving speeches to keep name recognition warm so he could swoop back into some random office, unfortunately returning to public office in 2020 to edge out a new generation of leadership. that election featured his 1984esque newspeak description of himself as a “progressive moderate”; he and cumming’s widow both claimed elijah would wanted them to succeed him, a fairly gross effort to retroactively put words in their dead beloved’s mouth — you can see my review of him in those elections here[a] and here[b]
Tashi Davis
emphasizes naval career but has very uninformed and sloppy opinions about international relations and war; unlike Mfume, actually has written priorities and issues on website — but it is just generic run of the mill fluff about the military and environment, minor tweaks to existing programs, bare minimum nearly meaningless content that is essentially lorem ipsum placeholder text[3]
Elihu Eli El
mostly short generic blurbs on the issues with little differentiation from but then descends into a random essay with no connective theme that reads like a middle school homework assignment completed the morning of [4]
Wayne McNeal
