Donna Edwards is addressing Metro’s largest union this weekend, but members of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 expecting to hob-knob Saturday with the pro-union Democratic congresswoman may be disappointed.
An invitation obtained by The Washington Examiner says that Donna Edwards is treasurer of the Maryland/DC AFL-CIO. Does Rep. Donna Edwards have a union job on the side?
Nope. A photo posted online by the AFL-CIO shows that’s another Donna Edwards. Compare the two:

A spokesman for Rep. Donna Edwards, who represents Maryland’s 4th congressional district in Prince George’s and Montgomery counties, said he makes sure to always put “Representative” in front of his boss’s name.
“Outside of a couple of goofy Google alerts, I can’t say there’s been a ton of confusion,” said spokesman Benjamin Gerdes. “It’s just one of those random things.”
