Kimberly Klacik is a favorite and a rising star in the Republican Party. She brought a lot of attention to Baltimore's growing problems, especially the need for the city to have opportunity zones.
Despite that, she wished Mfume luck and told him to be prepared to be held accountable.
We gave it our best shot! So proud of my team. It’s sad someone that doesn’t lift a finger could win a congressional seat just by name, but this is not the end.

This is still a win. Congratulations @Mfume4Congress. Prepare to be held accountable like never before. Thx CD7! https://t.co/u7SGe10vKB
