With Kathy Szeliga in the running, Republicans at least have a feasible candidate who can make a decent showing. An actual victory by her is unlikely. Yet it is possible under the right set of circumstances.
I hope Maryland Freepers make her election a priority.
Wish we had someone decent in PA to challenge Casey.
The dims are running a bunch of losers, so that Eli’s a little.
Bull crap. People in Maryland had had enough of the way Democrat Party governors were running the state into the ground. The "Rain" tax was the last straw. That's what liberals at the Washington Post will never admit. Unfortunately the successful results of the governors race didn't translate into success for the Senate and House of Delegates races. Maryland voters are still rather stupid when it comes to electing statehouse representatives.
Sounds like a polar opposite to Mikulski. Without a charismatic black at the top of the ticket (like Obama), I doubt turnout in Baltimore will be as high as it was in the last two cycles.
“Kathy and her husband, Mark, started a construction general contracting business 27 years ago. Kathy understands how difficult it is to start and maintain a small business in Maryland’s tough business climate. Kathy is committed to being a strong voice for all small businesses.
Maryland Business for Responsive Government, the political business watchdog group in Annapolis, awarded Kathy the Blue Ribbon award in 2013. She maintains an A rating with this group for her consistent conservative votes against higher taxes and more unnecessary regulations.”
“Delegate Kathy Szeliga has dedicated her life to her family, their family business, and the citizens of Baltimore and Harford Counties. Her faith is the basis on which she lives her life. Kathy’s involvement in business, government, education, church, cultural and civic activities in Maryland has been diverse and extensive and helps to make Kathy an effective Maryland State Delegate.”
For those who think a Szeliga victory is impossible, I have two words: Larry Hogan.
(And yes, I read the part about fewer Democrats turning out last year.)
