Amie Hoeber is running to represent Maryland’s Sixth Congressional District in the House of Representatives:
Amie is a graduate of Stanford University and resides in Potomac, Maryland with Mark Epstein, a senior executive of Qualcomm. They are members of the B’nai Tzedek synagogue. She has one son, two stepsons, and four grandchildren.

Shockingly, the Maryland USA Super PAC has spent over $200,000 on independent expenditures supporting . . . . Amie Hoeber:
