Doing my part for a fresh governing perspective and a better America.
My Senator is number 5 on the Senate list, but he's retiring. And I will vote for a 52 yo black woman to succeed him.
She has a very good record as a County Executive. Also a chance to make the Senate a bit younger and more diverse was attractive to me.
Sadly too many white, male baby boomers running for reelection will have major funding advantages over their challengers.

Yes, I've already decided on my vote. The other major candidate is a very wealthy businessman, 68 yo white guy.
Btw, if my present guy (Cardin) wasn't retiring, I'd be voting against him in the primary anyway. He's done a good job. But I want a younger generation and a more diverse one in charge of our government.
