Maryland Senate Delegation Second Most Liberal in the Nation

cardinmikulski.jpgAccording to political magazine National Journal, Maryland's U.S. senators are among the most liberal in the nation. Sen. Ben Cardin tied with four other senators for the number-one slot, while Sen. Barbara Mikulski landed at number eight. Only Rhode Island—which had both of its senators tied with Cardin in the number-one slot—had a more liberal senate duo. Maryland's delegation to the House of Representatives ranked as the 6th most liberal in the country.

Depending on your political leanings, this will either come as an affirmation or a call to action in the coming elections. Check out the full rankings here.
