Decision Day Near for Foundation Leader's Congress Bid

A Washington foundation leader will learn tomorrow whether she will be the newest member of Congress.

Donna Edwards, executive director of the Arca Foundation, in Washington, is the favorite to win Tuesday’s special election to represent Maryland’s Fourth Congressional District.

Ms. Edwards, a Democrat, defeated Rep. Albert R. Wynn, who now holds the seat, in the Maryland primary in February.

Mr. Wynn has since decided to vacate his seat — a decision that is expected to allow Ms. Edwards to get a head start in Congress and solidify her effort to win the seat in November’s general election.
