Who was that woman in the red dress?
We thought we'd provide a little more information about that mysterious woman who appeared on page 3 of today's Baltimore Sun.
Our colleagues, reporter Brent Jones and photgrapher Elizabeth Malby, were assigned yesterday to cover a Baltimore reception of the Weinberg Foundation, at which $100 million in grants to non-profits were distributed.
The event attracted some of the most powerful and well-known figures in the state, including Sens. Barbara A. Mikulski and Ben Cardin. The photograph, however, featured someone you may not recognize: Kristin Jones.
For those of you who don't know, Jones certainly ranks among the influentials in Maryland. As the top aide to House Speaker Michael E. Busch, Jones's fingerprints are on much of the important legislation that comes out of Annapolis, particularly in the area of health care.
Her name and image aren't regularly publicized, however. Today, we thought we would rectify that. (She's also half of a notable Annapolis power couple, but Andy Green says we should let her stand on her own merits.)
