Donna Edwards

by digby

I’m on the road and unable to post much today, but I’m sure you’ve heard about the blogosphere’s campaign to raise $100,000 for Donna Edwards to defeat egregious Bush Dog Al Wynn in the primary. Here’s James Rucker of Color of Change:

“Black Americans have long relied on Black elected officials like Al Wynn to represent their interests in Washington, and far too often, they find those leaders unaccountable and compromised. Al Wynn has repeatedly worked against the interests of his Black constituents, siding instead with big business and the wealthy special interests that fund his campaigns.

Today, we’re saying enough is enough. Donna Edwards, Wynn’s opponent in the Democratic primary, has been a powerful advocate for policies that benefit the Black community, especially low-income Black folks. She has an excellent record of public service, and we are confident that once in office she will serve her constituents with integrity and accountability.

While Nancy Pelosi holds a fundraiser this weekend in support of one of the least accountable members of the Congressional Black Caucus, we’re asking Black folks to stand up, demand better representation, and support Donna Edwards for Congress.”

All folks should stand up with them.
