A very nice political story in Baltimore MD / Maryland politics. I thought it might get some national play, but haven't seen much coverage.
With the recent election of Sheila Dixon as Mayor, for the next 4 years all the important political offices in Baltimore Government are held by women, and very substantial women at that. As a Baltimore resident for nearly 30 years I am hopeful for strong and effective leadership.
Hopefully this will encourage young women in our area what is possible by hard work, education and an ability to compromise and see an elective office as a potential for good.
best regards from MD to all the dKos readers.
