Kate Whitman, daughter of former Governor Christine Todd Whitman, announced her candidacy today for a congressional seat in the 7th district.

"I'm running for Congress because I believe I can provide the type of first class representation and constituent service that the people of the 7th Congressional District want and deserve," Whitman said in a statement. "People are tired of politics as usual in Washington, and as a small businesswoman and mother of two, I will bring a unique perspective that will achieve results."

Small businesswoman?  She is the paid executive director of a political action committee her mother founded and co-chairs and "runs her own consultancy business" though no one knows what she consults on. That last one is the same line Mike Ferguson foisted on us in 2000 -- she takes advantage of her mother's contacts to get paid for doing little.

Before this she was the communications director for the New Hampshire Republican Party when the party illegally jammed the Democrats' phone lines on election day.

If you want to bring a small businesswoman mother of two to Congress, Linda Stender is your candidate.  She's not only brought up her kids, but also ran the family florist and has spent 20 years as a Councilwoman, Mayor, Freeholder and Assemblywoman.  Stender has the experience, the know-how and the intelligence to make a difference in DC.

Whitman has her mother.
