Do we want Donna Edwards to run? EDITED, with Survey.

DFA is asking.

'In the discussion around who will be Sen. Mikulski's successor, one name keeps popping up that should ring a bell for all Maryland Democracy for America members: Rep. Donna Edwards.

DFA worked closely with Rep. Edwards in her first Congressional race. She took on a Wall Street Democrat and, with the help of the progressive grassroots, pulled off an exciting win.

Since joining Congress, Donna Edwards has gone to the mat for working families in Congress time and time again. She was the first member of Congress to introduce a bill to overturn Citizens United, and she was a leading advocate in the House for the Violence Against Women Act.

Donna Edwards is a true Elizabeth Warren Democrat -- and exactly the kind of voice progressives need more of in the Senate.

Many Democratic politicians are already expressing interest in this Senate seat. We want to make sure that all of the best possible candidates are considered -- that's why we are teaming up with MoveOn and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee to make sure that progressive voices in Maryland are heard.'
