"I am running as a Green because I can no longer say that I am a Democrat," reads a handbill that Schade is distributing. "While the Democratic Party was once the party of working people, women, minorities, the en-vironment, civil rights, social jus-tice, etc., it is no longer." [SNIP] Because of redistricting, Democrat Dana Dembrow-who has been viewed by many as the most progressive delegate in District 20-will no longer represent Takoma Park. Delegate John Hurson of Bethesda (Dem., previously of District 18), has been redist-ricted into District 20. Democratic Dele-gates Peter Franchot and Sheila Hixson remain in District 20.
The three delegates who garner the most votes in the general election this fall will serve the district in Annapolis for the next four years.
