Even though winning is a long shot, Libertarian candidate for attorney general Leo Dymowski continues his “symbolic campaign” to bring awareness to drug prohibition in Maryland.
“This is a symbolic campaign,” said Dymowski, a hearing officer with Maryland Parole Commission, “I’m going for 100,000 votes and I think we are doing well.”

The Maryland Democratic Party has been sending out mailers to heavily African American areas telling them to vote for Anthony Brown because “it’s our turn” to have the state’s first black governor.

A super political action committee under review for possibly prohibited coordination between the campaign of Democrat Anthony Brown and his chief fundraiser transferred the bulk of its remaining funds — $250,000 — in mid-October to a federal super committee now running attack ads against Brown’s Republican rival.

“Liar, liar, pants on fire!”
That’s what Larry Hogan could well have said after Democrat Anthony Brown’s latest attempt to fabricate a hoax and then try to sell that bald-faced untruth to voters about plans to eliminate school construction funding.
As the campaign draws to a close, the Republican Governors Association to spend $500,000 for Hogan TV ads; state Dems play the race card, aim mailing at black voters in Charles, Prince George’s; accusations continue to be thrown by both campaigns; Del.

The amendment, first proposed by the Montgomery County delegation, got virtually no attention from reporters as it made its way through the legislative process earlier this year. It didn’t get all that much attention from legislators either.
Despite “lagging behind the nation,” Maryland’s fiscal forecast appears optimistic, speakers agreed Thursday at the Greater Baltimore Committee Economic Outlook Conference. “Maryland is lagging behind in the nation… but I am optimistic about 2015,” said R. Andrew Bauer, regional economist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Baltimore Office and keynote speaker for the GBC conference.

Conaway pulls down YouTube videos early Wednesday, but they are preserved on another site; Sun backs Kittleman for Howard County executive; Democratic leaders roll out voter protection hotline; and paper trail for health exchange costs prove difficult to come by.
