Democrats spar in Congressional debate – Montgomery County Sentinel
March 3, 2016ROCKVILLE – Metro served as a uniting issue for Democrats competing in the 8th Congressional District primary during a debate hosted by the Montgomery County Sentinel Saturday night while the candidates offered different views on campaign funding.
Department of State deputy assistant secretary for House Affairs Joel Rubin (D) said he’s “just about given up” on Metro.
“I’ll have dedicated staff working on Metro every day,” he said.
Rubin cited the federal contribution limit to a candidate’s campaign of $2,700 as the standard that should apply even for self-financing.
“Why should one individual go over that just because it’s their campaign? I think that’s wrong,” said Rubin.
