[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2018 election results for Maryland's 6th Congressional district:

Jamie Raskin (D), 216,679 (68.2%)
John Walsh (R), 96,525 (30.2%)
Jason Wunder (L), 4,853 (1.5%)
Other/write-in, 273 (0.1%)[/quote]

Let's discuss how gerrymandered his district is, his efforts to create it and his hypocrisy in crafting H.R. 1 and all those amendments which where not even printed before they reached the rules committee. Sorry, to burst your bubble. [/quote]

Let's discuss your reluctance to acknowledge that voters re-elected him by an overwhelming margin in 2018, which was after 2016 and 2017.[/quote]

I am not reluctant to acknowledge the voters in a GERRYMANDERED district re-elected him. His actions, before he ran for that gerrymandered district, for decades were to set himself up to run in a made-to-order district. (DeLaney won in the district crafted for someone else and I couldn't have laughed any harder. DeLaney is a good man.)[/quote]

Exactly. YOU PERSONALLY might disagree with Raskin, but you would be a minority in his district. Raskin reps the woke/progressive/resistance/anti-Trump position, which is prevalent in Montgomery County, especially Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Bethesda, and Rockville. 
His actions before he ran for Congress were to be elected 3 times to the Maryland State Legislature in District 20, each time unopposed.

You may not like his political beliefs, his actions, himself personally, the 8th Congressional district, or the 20th Maryland General Assembly district, but the fact is that the majority of voters in his districts have supported him in elections in 2006, 2010, 2014, 2016, and 2018.
