If you missed the county commissioner candidate’s forum in Sykesville, you’ll get another chance to watch Doug Howard pick on Michael Zimmer (the candidate who listens) at the Eldersburg Library on September 9th between 7 to 9 p.m. Watch the Sykesville event here.
The other candidates are Marcel van Rossum and the lone and lonely Democrat, Hugh McLaurin.
The forum’s being presented by the Freedom Area Citizens’ Council and will also include the candidates for State Delegate in area 9B, which is us.
Republican Candidates Larry Helminiak and Susan Krebs both have huge signs up around the area. Krebs is with Ehrlich promising lower taxes and more jobs, which is going to be awesome, while Helminiak’s sign boldly trumpets that he’s “The Only Consistent Conservative,” which would appear to mean that Krebs, who has beaten him twice before, is not a consistent conservative.
And then, of course, there’s Anita Riley, the Democrat, who doesn’t seem to have any signs anywhere, not to mention a website, and whose non-presence all over the area can’t help but go unnoticed. (Did that make sense?) She ran in 2006 and lost to Krebs by about 8000 votes.
Here’s one of Helminiak’s signs. Nice picture, Larry, sorry we didn’t do it justice.
