Haddaway Recognized for Pro-Business Stance

Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio has been recognized by two statewide organizations for her support of the Maryland business community. Maryland Business for Responsive Government (MBRG) announced that Haddaway-Riccio is the recipient of their 2010 John Shaw Pro-Business Award and the Maryland Chamber Political Action Committee has announced their endorsement of her candidacy for re-election to the Maryland House of Delegates.

Maryland Business for Responsive Government is a state-wide, non-partisan, political research and education organization that works to improve Maryland’s business climate.

The Maryland Chamber Political Action Committee stated that their endorsement of her candidacy was based on her “history of providing leadership and advocacy on behalf of Maryland employers”. Serving on the House Economic Matters Committee and the Business Regulation Subcommittee has meant that Haddaway-Riccio has been working directly on the State’s business and economic policies.

Haddaway-Riccio is a small business owner herself as the sole proprietor of a graphic design firm called Dragonfly Designs. She also assists her husband Joseph Riccio with his property management and vacation rental business, Maritime Properties, LLC. Haddaway-Riccio has served in the Maryland House of Delegates since 2003 and represents District 37B which includes Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester and Wicomico Counties.

Delegate Elmore Will Be Missed

After sharing an office with Delegate Page Elmore for seven years now in Annapolis, I have certainly learned a lot about the importance of constituent service, fighting for your district and being a good representative for the Eastern Shore.  He prided himself in all of these things and his hard work was realized not only through his seat in the Maryland House of Delegates, but as Chair of the Eastern Shore Delegation.  He will certainly be missed, especially by me, but he has left behind a legacy and has given us an example of what true public service is all about.

Haddaway to Bag Groceries for Cancer Awareness!

Join me at the Easton Safeway from 3:00-3:30pm and at the Easton Food Lion from 3:30pm-4:30pm! I will be bagging groceries to help raise awareness on prostate and breast cancer. As we approach Father's Day, we should remind all the special men in our lives that regular screenings really can make a difference. My father is a survivor thanks to early detection, so I am proud to participate in this event! Senator Richard Colburn will also be participating at the Food Lion in Easton. Hope to see you there!

Public Hearing on Postal Processing Plant

A public hearing on the potential closure of the Postal Processing Plant has been scheduled for June 15th from 6-8pm at the Easton High School Auditorium. Citizens who wish to speak will be given two minutes and are asked to bring written copies of their testimony.

I would like to encourage private citizens and business owners to attend. Keeping this processing plant open is critical to Easton and the entire Eastern Shore.
