Art Helton Drops Out

The Dagger is reporting that Art Helton has dropped out the 2010 State Senate race due to health concerns. I am sorry about his health and wish a speedy recovery but I am not sorry to see him out of the race. I remember the 2002 race, a lot of issues there.

I do hope that Mr. Helton will be well, and offer my sincere support to him and his family. I did not always agree with him, but know he always had the best interests of his constituents at heart.

And I do not agree very much with incumbent Sen. Nancy Jacobs on a lot of issues, but I really do respect her for her independence, integrity and willingness to stand up for citizens, especially in Cecil County, against her fellow Republicans on the eastern and southern ends of Cecil County. Those "other" Republicans often show they care little about the voters and mostly care about themselves and their own political agendas and ambitions.
So Godspeed, Mr. Helton, and be in good health. And Sen. Jacobs, please continue to represent ALL of Cecil County citizens, not just those who do the politicial bidding of the other Republicans representing Cecil County!
