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.

Haddaway & Eckardt to Address Young Republicans

Delegates Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio and Addie Eckardt will be featured speakers at the Mid Shore Young Republicans club meeting on Wednesday, May 26th. The event will take place at 7pm upstairs at Carpenter Street in St. Michaels, Maryland. Senator Richard Colburn has also been invited.

Haddaway-Riccio was the founder and first President of the Mid Shore Young Republicans in 2002. The club formed to get more young people involved in the political process and to help conservative candidates with their campaigns. While the group started as the Talbot Young Republicans, they changed their name to Mid Shore Young Republicans after a few meetings because attendees were coming from Dorchester and Caroline Counties as well. In light of the coming elections, the group is getting active again.

“I think it is very important to engage young people in politics because they are our future. Many of them have the desire to do good things in their communities and they bring a fresh perspective with them,” Haddaway-Riccio said. “Delegate Eckardt and I are looking forward to meeting with them next Wednesday”.
