The edits regarding Fudge's position as a front-runner or heavily favored to win a district are not appropriate beyond what is verifiable and quotable. It doesn't matter if the district is heavily Democratic, that she will "probably" win or "may" be sworn in earlier than others...this article is about Marcia Fudge, not political predictions. Just because CQ Politics says she may be sworn in earlier than others doesn't mean it belongs in this article.
The facts (at least some of them) are that the district is heavily Democratic, that she is likely to win (which is now quoted and sourced), and that she is running in two elections. The edits I've removed contain unnecessary hyperbole and WP:PEACOCK wording, such as: The district is so heavily Democratic that Fudge is overwhelmingly favored in November. "So heavily favored" and "overwhelmingly" are not encyclopedic words; this is an encyclopedia, not Wikinews and not a soapbox. Also, use of the word "may" is a WP:WEASEL word: If she wins as expected, she may be sworn in sooner than any other Democratic freshmen, giving her a leg up in seniority.
Also, regarding her church, we do not have a citation that states which branch of Church of God her church is affiliated with, so it is incorrect to wikilink to the (Anderson) version in the absence of such a citation. The cite we do have simply states Church of God.
I welcome other points of view to improve the wording of the article on these (or other) issues. In fact, I will be contacting the Wikiproject Ohio folks to see if others can weigh in on this article. Frank | talk 17:01, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Please understand that although I created this article, my concerns are not in any way related to WP:OWN. I just think that this article - like all articles in the project - should conform to standards and policies, and the edits I've removed are because they don't conform, not because I didn't write them.
I just uncommented the Congressperson infobox, as I saw Rep. Fudge sworn in on C-SPAN. The election is not final yet, but since she was not running against anybody (and there was no write-in) for the special election to fill out the rest of the current term, thus ensuring her a victory in the special election, the House allowed her to swear in anyway. So the election is unofficial so far, but she's a member regardless. 129.22.52.19 ( talk) 18:32, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

She was also permanent chair of the 2016 Democratic National Convention; this should be added to her page. 98.10.165.90 ( talk) 00:44, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
This article says nothing about her political positions and views. As a result, the article rates an F.
PLEASE FIX THIS.
This problem is all too common in Wikipedia articles about public figures. --- Dagme ( talk) 01:34, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
This was removed from the article in a recent round of edits, and I have not found documentation as to why, so I have added it back with edits. It is relevant to her eventual nomination to the cabinet, and should be carried over as a future section regarding her is developed. Pauseforfermata ( talk) 23:20, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
Hey, User:AleatoryPonderings and User:KidAd, please quit reverting each other about the expression “serving as”. You are both established editors, you know the drill: if you make an edit and someone reverts it, you should go to the article talk page and work it out. When there is controversy, the longstanding usage is the default until there is consensus to change it. So let’s discuss it.
Looking at past usage in that article I see it has said she:
Let’s have a discussion here and reach a consensus which of these various formats to use for the lead sentence. -- MelanieN ( talk) 17:29, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Fudge has served as the representative for Ohio’s 11th Congressional District since 2008.. RollCall says

Fudge has served in the House since 2008. The wording is neutral, supported by reliable sources, and completely grammatical. KidAd talk 18:29, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
It looks to me as if we have consensus for “an American politician who has been the U.S. Representative for Ohio's 11th congressional district since 2008
. Somebody can go ahead and implement that. Thank you all for your input; it's amazing what discussion can accomplish. As the

The article says she "...became the first African-American woman to serve as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development since Patricia Roberts Harris left the office...". This awkward saying she was the first since the prior one, but the larger point would be the constant virtue signals on the basis of race.
Madam Secretary; My wife & I are independent seniors, over the age of 65, paying rents here in Chicago, IL to our landlord that has been going up on rents for the past 4 years, plus this one. Two months ago, I read an article on FHA Section 245(a) Program created by FHA back in Great Depression for assisting low-income US Citizens to become First Time Homeowners. I started making contact with mortgage lenders, but none offered this program, so I called your FHA Recourse Center, learning from your rep., explaining i would have to make contact with 1 of 160 FHA approved lenders, but none of them offered the program, because their FICO scores start at 580+, the Section 245a, FICO scores start @ 500+ with graduated payments, up to 10% down. The rep. also stated that FHA will still back and insure the FHA Section 245a program loan, if i'm able to locate an FHA approved lender and to let the lender know, but still none will offer. This FHA program needs to be Re-activated and out of Hibernation, so low-income US Citizens and Seniors can again become First Time Homeowners. I feel, with other low-income renters that "Reactivating" the FHA Section 245a Program can help put our Nations, foreclosed/distressed, abundant single family properties back on the federal, state, county and city tax rolls, from US low-income citizens and independent seniors being able to obtain a mortgage through our FHA Section 245(a) program. That's greatly needed in today's times. 2600:1700:2360:1820:B083:4A04:DA42:A359 ( talk) 13:59, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
