GOP Debate Offers Insight into Candidates

Five of the six candidates seeking the Republican nomination for the 2nd Congressional District participated in a debate Thursday night.

  With just a few weeks to go until the primary elections on April 3, candidates running for the Republican nomination for the 2nd Congressional District are trying to reach out to as many voters as possible. This was the case Thursday night as five of the six candidates gathered at the Del Capri in Dundalk for a debate sponsored by the East [Baltimore] County Republican Club. Nearly 100 people attended the two-hour debate—which Essex-Middle River Patch Editor Ron Snyder helped moderate—that touched on subjects ranging from the economy and the environment to rising fuel costs and tensions in the Middle East. Whoever wins the Republican primary will go on to challenge Democratic incumbent Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger in the November …

East County GOP Seeks To Impact Congressional Race

Republican candidates for the 2nd Congressional District primary have been invited to a debate set for March 15 at the Del Capri in Dundalk.

When state Sen. Nancy Jacobs decided to formally announce her intentions of running for Congress, the Republican didn’t choose her home base of Harford County. Instead, the longtime state legislator announced her candidacy for Maryland’s 2nd Congressional District seat at JAD’s Caddyshack in Essex. Jacobs said eastern Baltimore County would play a vital role in deciding the nominee and also the winner of the general election in November. “I believe that Essex, Middle River and Dundalk are all communities in play during this election,” Jacobs said. “If there was ever a year a Republican could win this seat, this is the year.” Follow Essex-Middle River Patch on Facebook and Twitter. Jacobs is one of five Republican challengers trying to …

Sen. Jacobs led the fight against raising tolls. She took time out of her busy schedule to speak at our fishing club meeting last month. She is also opposed to the outrageous fee increases for registering boats.   more ›

Harris Endorses Jacobs' Congressional Run

Harford County Republican faces five-way primary.

Nancy Jacobs picked up the endorsement of a former state Senate colleague Monday. Freshman Rep. Andy Harris, a Cockeysville Republican, announced the endorsement in a statement released by Jacobs' congressional campaign.  “I trust Nancy Jacobs," Harris said in the statement. "That’s why I have endorsed Nancy Jacobs for Congress.  I need Nancy to help me fight the tax and spend liberals in Congress.”     The endorsement was not a surprise. Jacobs announced her candidacy last month. Harris introduced Jacobs at the event and told a reporter later that his presence was meant to be seen as an endorsement. Jacobs faces a five-way primary, which includes notable candidates Del. Rick Impallaria and Larry Smith, a Timonium resident and a former …

One last thing---I was not present at the debate, but I did not need to be to know that Nancy offers absolutely no solutions to any of the issues that we face. Her website is exactly how she really speaks and operates; talking points and zero "know how"   more ›
