Clinton or Sanders? Check out Martin O'Malley.
'Why can’t the media give Martin O’Malley a fair shake? From the few words he was allowed to utter in the Democratic presidential debates, he looks like the strongest candidate. He polls low because no one knows anything about him.
Are the ups and downs of the Clinton/Sanders horse race really more important than our country’s next four years?
O’Malley doesn’t carry any of the Clinton baggage. He hasn’t forgotten climate change. He has more concrete plans than rhetoric.
He’s younger than the other two candidates. He has Homeland Security credentials, having chaired the U.S. Conference of Mayors Homeland Security Task Force.
As mayor of Baltimore from 2000 to 2006, O’Malley reduced crime, achieved the city's first budget surplus in decades while cutting property taxes to the lowest level in 30 years. He was named by Time magazine “one of America’s top five big city mayors.”
During his governorship from 2007 to 2015, Maryland recovered all the jobs lost during the recession, reduced the cost of college tuition, maintained the best public schools in America for five straight years, invested in renewable energy and green jobs, repealed the death penalty, passed one of the toughest firearms laws in the nation, expanded pre-K education, and increased the state’s minimum wage for most workers to $10.10/hour.
Why is this candidate being left out in the cold?'
