GOP or GUP Update
Since I posted GOP or GUP? on Monday, eight additional Republican candidates have filed to run in Prince George’s County races. In addition, four independent candidates have filed, three for offices for which there are no Republican candidates. As a result, about a quarter of the races have a Republican or independent candidate, and about three quarters of the races have already been conceded to the Democrats.
That there are two independents but no Republicans running for county executive. Where I vote, there is no Republican running for county council, no Republican running for state senate, and one lone Republican running for one of the three delegate seats. Bur that’s better than 2010 when there were no Republicans running for any of those offices.
I have now posted at PG-Politics a page with a listing of the Republican and independent candidates: 2014 GOP & Independent Candidates (http://goo.gl/l33YMq). It is arranged by office, and includes some contact information–currently limited to what the candidates supplied when filing. I will update it with whatever additional contact or campaign links the candidates or their supporters send me at pgpolitics@gmail.com. I will also add candidates for the county Republican central committee when I have more time. And I am willing to post or forward to my mailing lists any campaign-related announcements sent to me in a format that does not require extensive editing.
