Heidi SchmidtGuestBurn the Talking Points HostHostSo District 31 elects three delegates.

Like, keep complaining about the same things and keep voting for the same people and nothing's going to change.

Right.
That makes a lot of sense.
You touched on something that I think our listeners need to really be aware of.
I think that people, I don't know how many people have been keeping up with Anne Arundel County.
