[quote=Anonymous]David Krucoff is a candidate running against Eleanor Holmes Norton for US House Delegate, right at a time where DC Statehood may well become a reality.

National Republican elites would like nothing better than to have a replacement for Holmes Norton that opposes DC statehood.

Indeed, Krucoff supports the same solution national Republicans support: making DC a part of Maryland.  This solution is opposed by both DC [b]AND[/b] Maryland.  The only organized support this solution has is from Republican elites.  Here's the Koch-funded Cato Institute, which has spent money on experts to oppose DC statehood (because DC statehood would weaken Koch-network conservative donors' power) taking Krucoff's position: https://www.cato.org/blog/how-about-retroceding-washington-dc-maryland
