C. Anthony Muse Thinks He's It in Senate Bid | Political News and Opinion from a Multicultural Point of View

C. Anthony Muse, a well-known minister who leads the Ark of Safety Christian Church in Upper Marlboro, MD, and a state senator representing southern Prince George’s County, will take on U.S. Sen. Benjamin Cardin in the April 3rd Maryland Democratic Party primary and thus seek to become the first African American in history to represent the state of Maryland.

Muse, 53, announced his intentions at The Camelot by Martin’s Banquet Hall in Upper Marlboro recently before an estimated crowd of 2,000.

“I have traveled this state and people have told me that this country is going in the wrong direction,” he said. “I love this country and I love this state and people need to know that it is all right to have change.”

Muse noted that his opponent, Cardin, has been in public office “since I was 10 years old.”
