The latest foray into Democratic Party primaries by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, is targeting former Maryland Rep. Donna Edwards: a progressive who is running to represent Maryland’s 4th Congressional District, a seat she held from 2008 to 2017.
The contest between Edwards and corporate attorney Glenn Ivey had been relatively quiet.
