One of the other races is that of the u. S. Senate. We have asked candidates to talk with us about the issues and we are talking congresswoman Donna Edwards representing the 4th district.

Reporter because you are joining us via satellite, there will be a delay but you picked up an endorsement from Marilyn Mosbey, and today is the anniversary of the death of freddie gray. Howd this play in . I am grateful for Marilyn Mosbey stepping up, and i am sure that well bring the kinds of services, the transparency to government and opportunity that baltimoreians deserve. Reporter freddie gray, does that play a role . That will keep people from coming participate . No. I have been able to zero bust precipitation since early voting has begun in maryland and today has been particularly robust and i expect that through the next two days, through thursday and then election day on april 26.

Do you think that the federal government should provide dedicated funding for repairs . Or is it up to maryland, virginia, and d. C. . Let me say first of all i think that metro is the nations Transportation System and we have a obligation. Our federal employees, agencies and the opening of the government depend on a Transportation System that works. I was instrumental in making sure that we had federal oversight of metro so that key can unconfer uncover some of the safety issues and work with the general manager and make sure that its functioning in the 21st century in a safe way. I think its important for the federal government to step up for resources in addition to the metro. Reporter so have you been happy with how the money has been spent up until now . I think clearly the reports that were done demonstrate that we have real challenges in making sure there is accountability in metro spending but the reality is we have not invested in the way we need to in the general operation and maintenance of e not a new system anymore. It will require continued investment by the jurisdiction and by the federal government as a partner to make sure it functions not just for the federal government but millions of people who come from the other states visiting the District Of Columbia and surrounding area. Reporter congresswoman, help us to understand the one true difference between you and the congressman. He got the post endorsement and said he is a team player and is part of the democratic leadership. The Washington Post said that you are an allergy to compromise. What separates you two . I think thats an outrageous statement and i tell you i bring a unique view to the senate and representing the families, middle class families, those struggling, and my perspective as an africanamerican woman, a woman who has raised a son mostly on my own for the last 27 years and he is a grown man and i can provide a unique perspective on the struggles middle class families are facing, having jobs and wages that allow them to meet responsibilities, and making sure that our which were can children can do better than we do, and i think this is a representation for maryland that is sorely needed in this transition, and look. The fact is on our voting records, we have similar voting records but the reality is i bring a unique perspective, one that is clearly missing now and i think the business of get along and all that stuff, people want to deliver jobs, opportunity, education to the systems across the state. They want to make sure that we have an economy that can compete in the 21st century and dont want to just go along to get along. They want someone to get in and fight for maryland and fight for middle class families. Im prepared to do that. Congresswoman edwards, thank you for joining us. And best of luck to you.
