Former Rep. Donna Edwards Announces Bid to Represent the 4th District Again
Former Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (D) announced Thursday that she will run again for her old seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Edwards had been gearing up for a campaign for several weeks, after Rep. Anthony G. Brown (D) announced he would vacate the seat to run for Maryland attorney general.
“The fact is, our congressional district no longer gets our fair share from Washington. We’ve got to fix that. And I will,” Edwards says in a two-minute campaign launch video. “And I’ll go back with more seniority than most of the people in that building. That means clout to make sure our district has not just a seat at the table, but a seat at the front of the table where the decisions are made.”
In 2008, Edwards became the first Black woman elected to represent Maryland in Congress and she held the seat until the end of 2016. She lost Democratic primaries for U.S. Senate in 2016 and Prince George’s County executive in 2018.
