(against that harris idiot, MD's first cong dist.)

*Veterans are running for office in record numbers this year because they believe Washington is broken. What's more, they know the same sense of duty, commitment to results, and the integrity and discipline they have been trained to live by, make them uniquely well-positioned to fix it. . .

Former Army Ranger Jesse Colvin, who is running to represent Maryland’s 1st Congressional District, is perhaps a perfect embodiment of the unique qualities of leadership veterans possess and of the trajectory that has led them to where they are today.

The 9/11 attacks inspired him to learn Arabic, study in Egypt, teach English in Syria and ultimately join the Army, where he earned a coveted position within the 75th Ranger Regiment. He served four tours in Afghanistan. Then he used the GI-Bill to get a graduate degree from Columbia University and embark on a business career. We need leaders like him more than ever.'>>>
