It's not only the Presidential candidates that will be on the ballot in Maryland tomorrow. Local political primaries will as well. One race is receiving national attention – that of eight term Democratic US Representative Al Wynn. He usually wins the general election with over 80 percent of the vote, but this year, he is facing a tough primary challenger, who is campaigning on the platform that Democrats are not listening to the demands of the people.

Donna Edwards is identified as a progressive candidate trying to unseat incumbent Wynn. Edwards has never been an elected official. She co-founded the National network to End Domestic Violence. As a lawyer she also worked to reform lobbying laws. Edwards is making a congressional run because she says her opponent has become entrenched in Washington and has stopped looking out for his constituents.

"Voting to authorize the war in Iraq. Voting to fund it up until recently. Voting with the banks and credit card companies on a .. law that President Clinton vetoed and many members of the Democratic caucus said is one of the worst anti consumer legislations ever," Edwards says.

Her message is being well received. At a Maryland metro stop election unspun spoke to about twenty voters – all of whom backed Wynn in the past. Every voter said they were voting for Edwards this year.

"I think it's time for a new generation."

"I'm just tired of old faces in Congress."

"He didn't practice what he preached."

That was June Langley, Donald Davis, and Sicilia Smith. They say they want new blood in the Capitol. Smith says she doesn't like Wynn's initial support for the war. Wynn says Edwards has distorted his stance on Iraq.

"I said in 2004 before Donna Edwards was even on the scene that the Iraq vote was a mistake and that the war was a mistake. My vote was a mistake," Wynn says.

This past year Wynn voted five times to end the war, and also voted against war funding. But Edwards says his initial support for the war shows a lack of judgment. The two faced off against each other in the last Democratic primary here . . . Edwards lost by only three percent of the vote. Her campaign's money was low at the end that race. But recently she has out raised representative Wynn. But Eighty percent of that money has come from out of state contributors . . . like Emily's List and the Progressive Democrats of America. Wynn says that is telling.

"Her campaign is basically an out of state driven effort to control the seat, and they don't have our interests at heart," Wynn says.

Edwards has failed to receive Democratic establishment support. The county commission and members of Congress like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are throwing their support behind Wynn. Edwards is popular in the wealthier Montgomery County, She is focusing a lot of her ground movement in the lower income Prince George's County. Her message is resonating with local voters. Edwards says she is optimistic about Tuesday's results, but she knows it hinges on one thing, "Its all about the votes now isn't it?" Edwards asks.

Local officials expect more primary voter turnout than usual because of the high profile presidential primary.
