Kathleen Kennedy Townsend on Principles & Values

Former Democratic Challenger MD Governor

Build on Glendening's accomplishments, with different focus

Townsend began her bid for governor yesterday with an afternoon rally in Annapolis that was designed to present a unified Democratic front and a sheen of imperviousness around her quest to become Maryland's first female chief executive.

The lieutenant governor, in her 27-minute address, said she would build on the accomplishments of the Glendening administration but would offer a different focus on solving transportation problems & determining what gets taught in the state's classrooms.
