Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te Sen. Barbara Mikulski, te wahine roa rawa atu i te hitori o te Kaunihera, i kii i te Mane kaore ia e rere mo te pooti hou. 'E whakapau ana ahau i taku wa ki te kohikohi moni, ki te kohikohi ranei i taku wa ki te whakaara i te reinga?' Ko te 78-tau-tau o Maryland Democrat, i tana tuarima o nga tau, i kii ia ki a ia ano i a ia e whakaaro ana mehemea ka whai i te ono o nga wa i te tau e whai ake nei. 'E kore ahau e hiahia ki te whakapau i taku wa ki te whakatairanga i ahau. E hiahia ana ahau ki te pakanga mo te iwi,' i kii ia i te huihuinga purongo i te takiwa o Fells Point o Baltimore. 'Kei te whakapau wā ahau ki te whakaari i te mea ka mahia e au <unk>, ki te mahi rānei ināianei, me te mahi i taku e pai ai?' I whakapuaki a Barbara Mikulski, he kaitono o Maryland i whakaatuhia i te tau 2012, kaore i whakauruhia e tana mahere mo te heke mai te Kaunihera.

Ko Martin O'Malley, e whakaaro ana ki te tono mo te tohu perehitini a te Manapori, me te Reipa a Bob Ehrlich. Ko ia te wahine tuarua o te Senate Democratic ki te whakapuaki i tana reti i tenei tau, whai muri i a Barbara Boxer o California. I roto i te uiuinga o te tau 2014, i kii a Mikulski ko tana huarahi hei tiamana mo te roopu Appropriations ko te 'ki te arotahi ki te taangata me te atawhai. Ko ngā uara tawhito.
