Who is the man behind The Scramble? I am a lawyer, politician, community activist and Democratic Party partisan from beautiful Silver Spring, Maryland. After suppressing my political humor for a year while running for State Delegate, I started this blog to publish my unfiltered thoughts about Maryland politics. I began posting in March 2015 - a perfect time, as Barbara Mikulski had just announced that she would not be running for reelection. The maelstrom of news gave me plenty to write about - and brought readers to my blog in droves. In a month, the site received 10,000 hits. In four months, it has over 40,000 views. My goal is to deliver fresh, interesting content to my readers - and I’m always looking for tips. To get in contact with me, leave a comment, or email me at [email protected].
