[RP TownTalk] Mr. Washington Goes to Annapolis

[Chris Currie]

A glittering resume and the support of the entire District 22 delegation to
the Maryland General Assembly were not enough for Kisha Brown, as
Hyattsville resident Alonzo Washington rode an inspiring up-from-poverty
life story and the patronage of recently departed Delegate Justin Ross to
overwhelmingly win the endorsement of the Prince George's County Democratic
Central Committee and appointment by Md. Governor Martin O'Malley as the
district's newest State Delegate.  Read about Washington's stunning victory
in the December issue of the *Hyattsville Life & Times*:
