MD Democrats could have nominated Donna Edwards in 2016.
MA has 1 white female(Elizabeth Warren) and 2 black male(Edward Brooke and Mo Cowan) They could get Ayanna Pressley in 2026 when Ed Markey decides to retire.
How would US Representative Rashida Tlaib do statewide in MI in 2024 or 2030 when Stabenow decides not to seek re-election?
WA could get US Representative Pramila Jayapal in 2028 when Patty Murray decides to retire.
