An article in the Howard County Times revealed that Representative John Sarbanes has $391,122 cash on hand – less than all but two members of Maryland’s congressional delegation. But political scientists say the two-term Democrat is in no danger of being unseated. "I don’t think anybody should be particularly alarmed by that number," said Thomas Schaller, associate professor of political science. "If it were half that, maybe."
The article, “Sarbanes’ light war chest not an issue, pundits say,” ran September 3 in the Howard County Times.
