Ex – Md. Rep. Bentley to Run Again

BALTIMORE (AP) — Former Rep. Helen Bentley, once the highest-ranking woman in the Nixon administration, announced Tuesday she will run for the seat she held for 10 years.

Bentley said she offers experience in national and international affairs that the Democratic candidates in the Second District, which includes part of Baltimore, cannot match.

The 78-year-old Republican made her announcement to about 200 people on a pier across the Baltimore harbor from Fort McHenry.
