Axios - Dave Harden, a Democratic challenger for Congress on Maryland's conservative Eastern Shore, is getting a huge response by focusing on maddening, seemingly arbitrary federal regulations.
- Why it matters: "[N]itpicky government rules remain a potent and under-appreciated source of populist anger against Democrats, especially in rural areas," writes Farah Stockman, a member of the N.Y. Times editorial board.
Harden, a 59-year-old former USAID official, is running to unseat Rep. Andy Harris, the lone Republican in Maryland's delegation.
- Stockman asks: "Can Democrats flip the script and win over conservative districts, particularly small-business owners in those areas, by speaking out against government red tape?"
