With three weeks
and multiple assignments left in my program, I asked Slats if he would mind
penning a guest post this week. He informed
me…using expressive language completely unsuitable for a family column such as
this… that he was "neck-deep in Vappu planning" which told me he 1) is currently
in Finland (or so he would have me believe) and 2) could not be bothered.
Fair
enough. Let him take Uber next time he
alights from a plane at some Podunk regional airport.
So here is a
brief post on the Howard County Democratic Central Committee race.
For those of you
old enough to recall the 1992 U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team, they were
known as the “Dream Team.” This, of
course, is the moniker they stole from President Lincoln’s Cabinet. Doris Kearns Goodwin later rebranded them as
the “Team of Rivals,” books were published, money was made, and scores were
settled. C’est la vie.
Fast forward to
the present day and a new Dream Team:
Howard County’s own HoCo Forward slate.
For their platform and biographies, I strongly recommend visiting their

In these times,
it is more important than ever to give these down-ticket races a considerable
amount of attention and mindful reflection. The individuals
elected to these posts will help shape the future of HoCo politics for years to
come. This is why this blog is proud to endorse for the Central Committee, in (mostly)
alphabetical order, the following candidates:
“Democratic
Central Committee – Female” (vote for no more than 10)
-
Maureen
Evans Arthurs
-
Mae
Beale
-
Ethel
Brown-Hill
-
Mary
Catherine Cochran
-
Candace
Dodson-Reed
-
Maura
Cleary Dunnigan
-
Safa
Hira
-
Jennifer
Jones
-
(and...while
not a part of the HoCo Forward team): Margaret Weinstein
-
Undecided
if I will be voting for a 10th candidate
“Democratic
Central Committee – Male” (vote for no more than 10)
-
Najee
Bailey
-
Scott
Berkowitz
-
Jeremy
Eldridge
-
Tim
Lattimer
-
Shahan
Rizvi
-
Dhaval
Shah
-
Herbie
Smith
-
Peter
Spann
-
(and…while
not a part of the HoCo Forward team): Bob Ford
-
Undecided
if I will be voting for a 10th candidate
I strongly
encourage all of my progressive HoCo friends to vote for the HoCo Forward team. Not only are they skilled operatives and
party-builders, they are concerned and knowledgeable about issues. That combination of talents can be hard to
find. These 16 candidates, plus the two others I mentioned, would constitute an
excellent Central Committee team.
In solidarity.
