WARGOTZ ADDS TWO ADVISORS TO CAMPAIGN TEAM

Both bring decades of experience in Maryland politics to campaign

Dr. Eric S. Wargotz, a candidate for the U. S. Senate, has elicited the services of two experienced Maryland politicos to help his campaign.

Senior Advisor Don Murphy is a veteran of both the Maryland legislature and local party politics. He was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1994, defeating House Majority Leader Ken Masters, and reelected in 1998. Murphy was appointed to the Baltimore County GOP Central Committee in 1992, and elected countyRepublican chairman in 2002. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 2000, and served as a delegate and Maryland delegation chairman at the 2008 convention. He co-chaired Senator John McCain's presidential campaign in Maryland in 2000.

Communications Director Richard Cross has two decades of experience in both state and national politics. He served as a junior aide to Congresswoman Helen Bentley, and later as congressional press secretary to Congressman Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. He was a communications consultant to Ehrlich's successful 2002 gubernatorial bid, and later served as the governor's sole speechwriter. He was senior writer at the 2000 GOP convention in Philadelphia, and GOP communications director to the House Financial Services Committee. He is an op-ed contributor to the Baltimore Sun.

"I'm committed to waging an energetic and competitive campaign," stated Dr. Wargotz. "That means attracting people with skills and experience. Both Don and Richard have a lot to offer, and I welcome them to the team."
