“Baltimore gives her a base near the natural resource she needs — smart political people — in a city that is the opposite of Washington, D.C., in that that is earthy, with real people, real American problems, and in an East Coast time zone with affordable accommodations and a great nearby airport,” said O’Comartun, a city resident who is a principal at 50 State, a political consulting group. “It’s a great opportunity for us to have a champion in the White House if she wins and to elevate our issues on a national stage during the campaign and to have 100 young professionals come to the city.”
