[quote=Anonymous] Actually it looks like Raskin is in a pickle. https://www.marylandmatters.org/2021/11/04/md-citizens-redistricting-commission-finalizes-congressional-legislative-maps/ [img]https://i2.wp.com/www.marylandmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-03-at-8.21.46-PM.png?ssl=1[/img] Takoma Park and most of Downtown Silver Spring will be in District 4 along with Prince George’s County. The district will be D+95 so it’s the safest D in the universe but it will be probably 85% Black, and Raskin is white and Jewish. The rest of MoCo will be District 8, and some in 6. The far upcounty is probably not enough to compete with a rural R so that district will flip and MoCo will be represented by a Republican. That leaves the 8th with Raskin vs. Trone. Will Raskin win a primary running from outside the district and without his Takoma Park/Silver Spring base? I can’t believe I’m saying this but progressive hero Raskin appears to be in trouble.
