Would you vote for her because she was a Navy SEAL?
Decorated veteran Kristin Beck caused a media firestorm when she publicly came out as a woman in 2013, and just two years later she is launching herself back into the fray to run for Congress.
Beck had served in the U.S. Navy SEALS as Christopher Beck for 20 years and 13 deployments before she made her transition. During her tenure as a member of SEAL Team Six, Beck earned 29 medals for her service and valor, including a Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

Honestly, whether she was a Seal or Transgender plays little into whether I would vote for her.
What is her political philosophy? Is she consistent in it? That's what I really care about in my elected representatives.

Of course, I don't live in Maryland, so I really don't care that much, but her platform is in my post.

Capt Richard I P. I don't either, but I do live in VA, and MD policies have a nasty way of affecting VA (& vice versa). Thanks for the link!
