Roughly Speaking

1:39: Erin Cox, The Sun's State House bureau chief, talks about the Democratic candidates lining up for the 2018 primary in the hopes of challenging incumbent Republican Larry Hogan.

21:31: Heather Mizeur, the liberal Democrat who unsuccessfully ran for the gubernatorial nomination in 2014, has a new project: MizMaryland: Soul Force Politics. After retreating to her farm on the Eastern Shore for more than two years, Mizeur has re-emerged with her new organization, with a goal of bridging the political divisions, a daunting task in the time of Donald Trump. The project, the subject of a recent story by Erin Cox, involves a blog, a podcast and training camps for women interested in civic engagement.
