"A different campaign" - Eric Fingerhut

B"H

A different campaign By Eric Fingerhut
Orthodox congressional candidates bring Jewish text study techniques to campaigning
Given the vagaries of gerrymandering, somewhere over the years there might have been congressional candidates from separate districts who lived on the same street.

It's unlikely, though, that the two candidates also belonged to the same Orthodox synagogue, and ran a campaign platform originating with Torah lessons they delivered at shul.

But, that is just what is happening in Maryland's Montgomery and Prince George's counties.

The candidates are Jeff Stein and Moshe Starkman. They live on opposite sides of the congressional district dividing line of Arctic Avenue in Rockville, and they are the Republican candidates for U.S. Congress in Maryland's 8th and 4th Districts, respectively, facing Reps. Chris Van Hollen (D) and Albert Wynn (D).
