Abstract

When Maryland State Delegate Kathleen Dumais left her District 15 seat in Montgomery County recently to join the circuit court as judge, the County Democratic Party appointed its chair, Linda Foley, to fill the position. This led to questions about whether the appointment process is truly open and democratic. Sunil Dasgupta talks to Delegate David Moon from District 20 in Montgomery County about his push to reform vacancy appointments. Very local news. Music from DC area Southern soul band King Soul.
