Md. General Assembly races: October update on candidates

[Robin Grammer]

All of the representatives from Dundalk voted against SB281, except for Minnick who was absent. Olszewski also supported the majority of amendments that would have eased restrictions.

Incorrect. Dwyer put in an amendment that would have removed a number of firearms from the banned list. Olszewski voted against it.

Can I ask, what is your first name?

Remember folks, there are Delegates/Senators who voted against the final SB281 bill, but voted in favor of cloture or bad amendments to it. These people did us just as much harm as the people voting for the final bill. We need to hold all of their feet to the fire, not just the ones who voted on the final bill.

And it doesn't even matter if we replace them with someone better. We need to send a message: you voted for SB281, you're at risk. That'll make them think twice before voting for any more gun control legislation.

Thanks for sharing that. I was going off of memory from sitting in the Gallery when that was going on.

IMO I think that is a very dangerous position, as it relates to a candidate who is actually worst.

1) Could do far more damage and in Maryland that damage will be VERY hard to correct.
2) Freshman (1st timers) will be easy to "bully".

I think the challenger must at least be equal to the incumbent.

Is anyone making plans to educate voters at the polls of who is 2A friendly?

Wow

District 6: Three delegates (two open seats), Baltimore County (Stone retiring, Minnick retiring; Olszewski running for Senate, Weir)
Running for delegate: Republican Robin Grammer has announced he is running for delegate, as has Bob Long, who was the top Republican candidate in the 2010 General Election. Dan Liberatore, a Republican, has filed in the delegate race, as has Ric Metzgar, an Essex Republican.
Johnny Ray Salling, a Republican, filed Sept. 10 for Senate.
Marcus Foreman, a Democrat, filed Sept. 3 for the delegate seat.

I know it's early, but my Dino status may not matter too much here.

Sorry to bring up an old post but I have been super busy getting my ducks in order. And haven't logged on much.

I am Marcus Foreman and I am running in the 6th District.

Yes as a Dem. You probably won't find a more conservative Democrat as I am.

Good luck.

You might want to start your own thread to the fact that you are running.
