I've gone on about how much I hate Van Hollen before, mainly because I know he's an android fueled by eating kittens and babies. But he's the darling of my district...
So...
Redistricing in 2002 made this Montgomery County-based seat reliably Democratic, and incumbent Chris Van Hollen coasted to a 75%-25% win in 2004. Van Hollen has proven himself to be an activist liberal, assailing some of the parliamentary controls used by the Republican majority, and a defender of federal jobs -- a key constituency in the Washington, D.C. suburbs
Given the partisan breakdown of the district, expect a 3rd term for Van Hollen in the fall.

Public Transportation is Inadequate
We need to fix the environment
Our Highway and Road System is over capacity
Gang Activity is at an all time high
Drugs are becoming a major issue in our county's best schools
Housing is no longer attainable, let alone AFFORDABLE
Social Security is simply broken
Also, the sky is blue. Sorry... BLUE!
