  Kathleen Kennedy Townsend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend (born July 4, 1951) was lieutenant governor of the U.S. state of Maryland from 1995 to 2003.
Townsend was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, and spent most of her childhood in McLean, Virginia, though she attended school in nearby Montgomery County, Maryland.
The Townsend campaign was also hurt by the unpopularity of Governor Parris Glendening, who had implemented a partisan racial redistricting proposal that was overturned by Maryland's highest court and who had been involved in a marital scandal during the latter half of his second term as governor.
