Kathleen Matthews, the wife of MSNBC personality Chris Matthews, has entered the Democratic primary to replace Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who is running for Senate.
Matthews on Wednesday launched her campaign for Maryland’s 8th District House seat from downtown Silver Spring, vowing to fight for a litany of liberal causes, including equal pay for women, abortion rights, and raising the minimum wage, according to The Washington Post.
Matthews is a former local news anchor. She most recently served as an executive for Marriott Hotels but stepped down from that position last month as she geared up for the House race.
Matthews’s name recognition, and her family’s deep political ties, could help her stand apart from the huge field of Democrats seeking to replace Van Hollen.
Still, she’s never run for elected office before and faces a deep field of experienced state-level officials in the primary.
So far, Maryland Dels. Kumar Barve and Ana Sol Gutierrez are in the race, along with Will Jawando, a former aide to President Obama, and state Sen. Jamie Raskin.
A handful of other Maryland delegates and county officials are also believed to be eyeing the race in a safe Democratic district.
Van Hollen cannot run for reelection to the House because he is seeking the Senate seat left open by the retirement of Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.). Maryland law prevents candidates from running for both.
Was Van Jones not interested in running? Or the "Dude, that was like two years ago!" guy?
I wonder if he gets a thrill going up his leg if his wife gets to to speak to Congress, as well.
I’m shocked to find out he’s married. And that she’s not transgendered.
He probably channels Obama when he bangs her.
With his fascination and leg tingling love for Obama I assumed he was gay.
He’s a Democratic Party tool.
Queen Kathleen!!! That’s what spittin Chrissy calls her.
Will Chris give up his show for the duration to avoid any hint of favoritism? Will pigs fly?
access.
Doubtless she has an authoritative opinion on the effective operation of all of his legs.
“vowing to fight for a litany of liberal causes, including equal pay for women, abortion rights, and raising the minimum wage”
Abortion is already legal and equal pay has been the law for nearly 40 years. So where is a new idea?
Too attractive to be a liberal, maybe she’s a republican “mole”.. :)
Wife of Chris Matthews running from House
She either deserves a medal for putting up with the unhinged, slobbering buffoon for all these many years... or she's just as nutty as he is. Either way, her judgment should be a key issue in this race.
Chrissy Matthews is married?
Does she beat him up?
I have to say this is the worst picture ever. She looks transgender. I have seen her on his show and she isn’t that “masculine” looking.
Gotta be 15 years younger than he.
I wondering if she and Chrissy paid more in taxes than required.
