No Surprises in Last Day of Filing for Office in St. Mary's More on this race by Ace Reporter Ahmar Khan The Days of Wine and Roses for Raley & Mattingly, the auto-elected Commissioners....maybe...but will they help their fellow Democrats defeat Jarboe & Dement?  Republican
Central Committee member Samuel T. "Tom" Haynie takes a pass on
Sheriff's race, leaving
Tim
Cameron without a contest in the GOP primary while
 Dave
Zylak will have to beat
Kevin
Darryl Somerville in Democratic primary in order to have a shot
at keeping his job as St. Mary's Sheriff....Democrats
Dan Raley and
Tommy
Mattingly apparently get a free ride with neither primary
opponents or general election opponents....the
Republican
Central Committee can fill out their slate of candidates have 2
or 3 weeks to fill elective office contests....McKay
failed to chicken out on Senate race against
Dyson
and file for a return as commissioner, therefore the days of
Commissioner
McKay are numbered....Democratic
Central Committee is being challenged with 12 candidates filing
for seven seats....the liberal dominance of the committee may be
in question....Treasurer
Jan Norris , a Democrat, gets a free ride again as no one
bothered to run against her last time either...The
GOP in St. Mary's has picked up many new members over the past
ten years but has failed to recruit any candidates....Democrat
John Bohanan is being challenged by another retired Navy
Captain, of which there are many lingering around the area...Tim
Wood, a real estate agent from Piney Point, a Babsrepublican,
will contest Bohanan's hold on the delegate seat representing
the southern area of St. Mary's while
Democrat
Del. Johnny Wood will have to beat
Clare
Whitbeck in the primary to then get the right to face a
Republican
no one ever heard of...It was just four years ago that the GOP fielded a strong slate of candidates and won control of the Board of Commissioners, with Republican
Joe Gass coming within 123 votes of whipping
Tommy
Mattingly and only Raley winning by a comfortable margin over
Republican
Vernon Gray....now its back to the days of wine and roses for
the Democrats, likely to win back the commissioner president
seat with
Mike
Hewitt a heavy favorite over Jackie Russell and Merl Evans...Hewitt
has run county wide before and won a seat on the school board
while Evans lost the Democratic primary for commissioner to
leftie
Joe
Anderson, who then went on to lose to Kenny Dement....Dement
will face off with
Democrat
Elfreda Mathis... |
