There was a debate last night, and sad to say, I wasn’t invited. Perhaps because it was a GOP debate in CD6. According to Lou Peck, it was a “lively affair,” and it turns out that blogger Ryan Miner has assumed responsibility for my job with the Democratic debates in CD8, shooting video of the entire debate. For those inclined to… Read more »

CD6 GOP congressional candidate Delegate David Vogt today issued a press release stating that he intends to file a bill in the General Assembly to investigate the tax exempt status of Muslim organizations that are linked directly or indirectly to “a radicalized notion of Islam.” If I was trying to find a way to have a law that simultaneously violates… Read more »

My media crush Lou Peck over at Bethesda Magazine takes a look at the increasingly crowded and potentially expensive race on the GOP side competing for the right to face Congressman John Delaney in CD6. As Labor Day marks the ramping up of the 2016 campaign, it’s become clear that a second Montgomery County-based congressional district will face a crowded—and financially costly—contest… Read more »

Jonathan Shurberg May 14, 2015 No Comments

Since the John Delaney rumor mill has totally shut down of late, I am reduced to mongering Republican rumors in CD6. A sad state of affairs indeed, but here it is: Ryan Miner says District 4 Delegate David Vogt will run for Congress, and further expresses dissatisfaction with the notion that Washington County Commissioners president Terry Baker might also be… Read more »
