winterbadgerI just discovered that I've been redistricted. My street used to be part of Maryland's 4th Congressional District, which is represented in Congress by Donna Edwards. Now, it would appear, it's going to be part of the 8th, which is represented by Chris Van Hollen.
Now I don't have anything against Rep. Van Hollen. He was born in Pakistan, which is kind of cool, and comes from a Foreign Service family. He's only four years older than I am. He's served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as a staffer. He has a good record on policies that are important to me, like clean energy, gun safety, the environment, campaign finance reform, and (sensible) animal rights. He's stood up to the Israel lobby.
But I liked being represented by Donna Edwards. :-(
