Today (Thursday) is the last day for early voting in the Maryland Primary. Residents of Cecil County can vote at the County Administration Building between 10 AM and 8 PM. There’s a map at the bottom of this page.

This Primary and General Election are Critical to the Future of Cecil County

The Cecil Whig summarizes the importance of this election:

“This year, three of the five county council seats are at stake. Primary races will shape the six individuals that could potentially make a majority voting bloc in our county. One ballot could change Cecil County’s future for four years.”

The county council plays a key role in the funding of our public schools (and not the curriculum as some would have you believe) and our schools have been woefully underfunded in the last five years.

All Party Candidates are Not Created Equal

I admit it–I have usually voted the party line–but I’ve gotten religion in the last few months. Party affiliation alone is not a way to choose an elected official. There are only two major parties but there are wide differences in philosophy, experience, and integrity within those parties.
