The Washington Post and Gazette Newspapers Endorse
Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards
For Congress in Maryland
Reps. Hoyer, Van Hollen and Edwards, and Mr. Kratovil.
Saturday, October 25, 2008; A14
“WHEN VOTERS in Maryland's 4th Congressional District, which stretches from Prince George's County into Montgomery, dislodged Rep. Albert R. Wynn in the Democratic primary this year, they put considerable faith in the potential of an energetic but untested newcomer, Donna F. Edwards. Ms. Edwards, a civic activist, had proved herself to be an effective advocate for causes such as raising the minimum wage and curbing domestic violence. But could she produce results in Washington? Four months into her service, which began when Mr. Wynn resigned and she won a special election, Ms. Edwards has shown that she deserves a full term in Congress.”

Prince George's choices for Congress
Thursday, Oct. 23, 2008
“Edwards, the newest member of the state's delegation who won a special election in the Fourth District after the incumbent Albert Wynn made an unceremonious early exit following a primary loss, has been a quick study. Parts of her district, which includes Prince George's County, have the highest mortgage-default and foreclosure rates in the state and Edwards recognizes the need for reforms in banking and bankruptcy rules to assist those in legitimate need.”
“Edwards, of Fort Washington, has been fully engaged in studying details of complex legislation and champions progressive causes fitting her district.”
