Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), who has served in Congress longer than any woman in history, will announce at a news conference Monday that she is retiring from the Senate after five terms in office, three people familiar with her plans said.
Mikulski, 78, was the first woman to chair the powerful Appropriations Committe, a post she had to give up this year when the Democrats lost control of the Senate. A social worker turned politician, she has been a forceful presence on many pieces of legislation, passionately liberal on certain issues but also committed to working closely with Republicans.

The good think is you can’t gerrymander a senate seat in MD.
MD just elected a republican governor and, before massive gerrymandering, had a 4-4 split on house seats.
Will be interestding if Andrew Harris, ths only republican congressman, will make a play or if Dan Bongino will run again...or could former Governor Erhlich return to run?

The funny thing in the whole MD4BUSH Freerepublic/Washington Post scandal is that the reporter outed her as homosexual. As if that was a secret in Maryland.

She is one ugly witch. Hopefully she will keep her fat, ugly, liberal mouth shut when she retires.

So. The old bag can’t browbeat anybody any more with any power to back it up so she’s taking her ball and going home, so to speak. A disgusting woman in any world.

Retiring at 80? Seems awful early for a senator.
