Please remember to vote on Tuesday (Feb. 12th) in the Maryland Primary Election. Until last Thursday, there were 3 races here in this area that were being closely followed by the area Republicans, the Presidential, Congressional District 1 and Commissioner District 5.
In the Presidential battle, I will not be endorsing any of the remaining candidates. I was the Cecil County Chair for the Mitt Romney Campaign which tells you who I was previously cheering on. In fact, many of the Maryland County Chairs for Romney will be still voting for him on Tuesday, just to send a message. But at the end of the day, I will still support the Republican nominee for the general election.
I am endorsing Robert Hodge for County Commissioner in District 5. Politically, this was an easy choice. I believe that Robert has the business experience that Cecil County needs going forward with BRAC coming to the area. Personally, it was a tough choice; I have known Tom McWilliams for over 6 years now. And like many other people, like Tom a lot. I just believe that he lacks the business experience that will be necessary to move the county forward.
I am endorsing Senator Andy Harris for Congress. I believe that he has the conservative values that match mine the closest. Congressman Gilchrest lost me when he supported a timeline for a troop withdrawn from Iraq. How can you vote to send folks to war and then turn around and withdrawn your support when the political winds change. With that being said, I had to say that this has been one of the most negative campaigns that I have even seen. My mailbox has been clutter almost on a daily basis with negative brochures from all three major candidates, Senator Pipkin, Congressman Gilchrest and Senator Harris.

From Senator Nancy Jacobs
Excellent choices of Robert Hodge for Commisioner and Senator Andy Harris for Congress.
In addition to those candidates, I have cast my absentee ballot for Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. I did it in hope that John McCain might realize that he's not conservative enough for some of us within the Republican Party. Who knows? Maybe McCain will choose Huckabee for Vice-President.
I've spent a lot of time making calls and sign waving for the Harris campaign. Fortunately, people aren't buying the blatant lies of his opponents attack ads. Go Andy!
