Calls mount for Democratic lawmaker to resign over use of racial slur


Larry Hogan (R) and Prince George’s County executive Angela Alsobrooks (D) — called Wednesday for the resignation of Del. She told another white lawmaker that when he campaigned in Prince George’s on behalf of a candidate last fall, he was door-knocking in a “n----- district,” said Del. She blamed racism for what she described as the under-funding of education in Prince George’s and other majority-minority jurisdictions. Rockeymoore Cummings, the state Democratic Party chair, said African Americans comprise about a third of the voters in Lisanti’s district. Many of those residents live in Edgewood, Md., said Denise Perry, the chairwoman of the Harford County Democratic Central Committee and an Edgewood resident.
