STATEMENT OF DONNA EDWARDS, CANDIDATE FOR MARYLAND’S 4TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT REGARDING CONNECTICUT PRIMARY VICTORY OF NED LAMONT

TEMPLE HILLS, MD (AUGUST 9, 2006) – “Lamont’s victory is a referendum on the war in Iraq,” said Edwards. “Today voters in Connecticut sent a message to President Bush and all Republican sympathizers: change the course.

“Albert Wynn is Maryland’s Joe Lieberman.”

“Wynn has taken a go-along-to-get-along approach to the Republican legislative agenda. Wynn has voted with Republicans on the Iraq War authorization, the Bush-Cheney Energy Bill, the Bankruptcy Reform Bill, and the Net Neutrality Bill. It’s time for Mr. Wynn to answer for his record. Even Joe Lieberman didn’t vote to repeal the Estate Tax for the wealthiest Americans.”
