Maryland sorely lacking women in Congress

‘red wave,’ Maryland election reflected Republican identity issues,” Nov. 13).

Clearly, the bulk of the states do a lot better job of valuing and utilizing the talents of women for congressional positions no matter their political persuasion. There seems to be a deterioration in this regard of late in Maryland. Term limits might be one solution to cure this electoral inequity fostered by the power of incumbency.
