Haddaway Endorsed by Maryland Farm Bureau


The Maryland Farm Bureau announced today that are endorsing Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio's candidacy for the Maryland House of Delegates.


The Farm Bureau's endorsement was based on Haddaway-Riccio's voting record, stated positions and actions taken in the past and is also based on recommendations of local Farm Bureaus.  She was thanked for her support of farm families across Maryland and was presented with a Maryland agriculture lapel pin given exclusively to endorsed candidates.

As a representative of District 37B, Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio represents farmers in Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester and Wicomico Counties. She has cosponsored and supported pro-agriculture legislation such as the Critical Farms Act, the Young Farmers Act and the Maryland Organic Farming Transition Act. She has also been the lead sponsor of several bills that make it easier for farmers to sell their products at farmers markets.
