Chelsea Manning stelt zich verkiesbaar voor senaat VS
Chelsea E. Manning, the transgender former Army private who was convicted of passing sensitive government documents to WikiLeaks, is seeking to run for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, according to federal election filings.
Ze moet het daarbij wel opnemen tegen de zittende senator Benjamin Cardin die z’n fondsenwerving prima in orde heeft:
Cardin, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has an extensive fundraising base in Maryland and is not considered particularly vulnerable to a challenge from any known figures within the state.
