WASHINGTON — I’m in my kitchen at my home in northwest Washington doing dishes and not paying much attention to the cable news show that’s on when, to my surprise, as I pass the television, I see an ad with a House member from Chicago touting someone running for a Maryland Senate seat — a candidate I’ve barely heard of.
But there was Rep. Jonathan Jackson, D-Ill., in an ad I now see popping up all the time on my local television, endorsing someone I bet most folks in the Chicago area don’t know — Rep. David Trone, D-Md.
