Kondner has the difficult task of running as a conservative in a strongly liberal district. Disturbed by the political apathy he attributes to an irresponsible Congress, he vows to support term limits and reduce the maximum PAC contribution. But after getting less than 20% of the vote in April's special-election runoff against rival Elijah Cummings, he'll have to battle that apathy--and beat...
...Hampshire Governor and the son of a former Second District Representative, Bass has political blood. And with a few exceptions he is conservative, from voting for a balanced-budget amendment to supporting welfare reform.
