What Would You Ask a Senate Candidate?

What Would You Ask a Senate Candidate?

I'm meeting Congresswoman Edwards this Saturday in Baltimore - she's running for Senate in Maryland. I know she's progressive, but I have specific concerns. I want to know if she has ideas on what can be done about the police brutality problem, and de-escalation, and how we are "over-arming". I will ask about jobs for ex-offenders. I will ask about the erosion of voting rights.

Some of these are state issues, so I'm not sure what can be done, but I still want to hear her thoughts.

What would YOU ask?

And as a sitting Congressmember, she's presumably seen it.

1. What... is your name?
2. What... is your quest?
3. What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I think that about covers it
