Potential Andy Harris opponent supports assault rifle ban, universal health care (episode 371)

Michael Pullen, a Democratic candidate for congress in Maryland's 1st District, has staked out progressive positions in a bid to win his party's nomination and challenge incumbent Republican Andy Harris. Pullen, who spent 24 years as the attorney for Talbot County, says he supports a federal ban on assault rifles as a way to stem mass shootings. He also supports universal health insurance, or ----Medicare for all.---- Pullen opposes oil drilling off the Maryland coast, but supports the establishment of a wind farm in those waters and full funding for the Chesapeake Bay cleanup. He is one of six Democrats seeking the nomination in Maryland's June 26 primary. Two other candidates, Allison Galbraith and Jesse Colvin, already have given interviews, and those recordings can be found in the Roughly Speaking archive.Links:http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/harford/aegis/ph-ag-harris-town-hall-0307-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-harris-offshore-drilling-20180209-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/environment/bs-md-offshore-wind-distance-20180312-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-trump-budget-maryland-20180212-story.html
