Lyndon Johnson called them red hots.
Johnson was the majority leader of the US Senate. Mitch McConnell’s job.
The red hots were the liberal Democrats – passionate on civil rights and other issues but not very good at counting votes and getting bills passed.
Bernie Sanders is a red hot. I am not.
I’m working on many issues for next year’s legislative session.
At the top of the list: keeping the Preakness at Pimlico, redeveloping the rest of that site, and funding our children’s pre-kindergarten-12th grade education.
I’m also working on other education issues, lead poisoning prevention, and election security.
Not ready to talk details yet because private conversations come first. My goal is to get the bills passed.
