Although the Maryland gubernatorial primary is over a year away, last Monday morning the 2014 contest began to take shape in earnest with Harford County Executive David Craig announcing his candidacy for the Maryland State House.
Outside of Saint Patrick's Hall in Havre de Grace, dark
clouds formed and it threatened to rain. Inside, there was no doubt that Mr. Craig’s formal announcement has
threatened to shake up the contest for governor by launching what many
political insiders consider to be a serious and credible Republican bid to
regain the governor’s office after eight-years of liberal governance by
Democrat Governor Martin O’Malley.
I felt badly that I was not able to make my way to Harford
County last Monday. Mr. Craig went out of his way to visit Carroll County on
several occasions to lend me a hand when I was an elected official. Over the
years Mr. Craig has been a perfect host for a number of my sojourns to Harford
County.
When I served for many years on the Maryland Municipal
League board of directors, then-Havre de Grace Mayor Craig, along with many
others such as then-Baltimore
Mayor Martin O’Malley and then Ocean City Mayor Jim Mathias were a constant
source of help with the many difficult challenges facing municipalities
throughout the state.
However, for better or worse, Maryland political campaigns
are more often than not insufferably long and I am only sure that I will be
able to see my old friend Mr. Craig on
several occasions before the voters have their say on the day of the
Maryland primary election on June 24, 2014. (The general election next is
scheduled for November 4, 2014.)
