Vincent Family Endorses Maciarello

Our family continues to mourn the loss of Sam Vincent. His service to the community as the Wicomico County deputy state's attorney was unparalleled. His honesty, integrity and his dedication to the State's Attorney's Office would have continued for years had it not been for his tragic death.

Sam would want what is best for the State's Attorney's Office -- which is to elect a state's attorney with honesty, integrity and a passion for justice. As Sam's twin brother, I know Sam was a "law and order" prosecutor. His passion for justice, his work ethic and sense of fairness set him apart.

I've talked with Matt Maciarello to understand his vision. Maciarello best represents the qualities Sam encompassed. He understands the value of crime prevention and recognizes the need to effectively concentrate efforts and resources on gangs, drug dealers and violent criminals.

Maciarello has met with prosecutors, law enforcement and local attorneys to understand the real issues and to build a more cohesive network to stem the spiral of crime.

The race for state's attorney can't be based on party affiliation or age; it must be based on moral character, vision, leadership and a passion to pursue vigorous and fair prosecution of criminal cases, with a commitment to serve as an advocate for the rights of all victims.

The Vincent family joins Sheriff Mike Lewis and the Wicomico County Fraternal Order of Police in endorsing Maciarello. The safety and well-being of our community depends on your vote.

Joe,

I am looking for some advice regarding the upcoming elections here in Wicomico County.

I am a bigtime conservative mostly concerned about balancing budgets and reducing tax burden on the public. I believe people know better how to spend their money than the government does.

As a conservative, should I be voting for Peter Krauser, Albert Matricciani, Alexander Wright, and Christopher Kehoe? I have no idea if I should be supporting these judges for continuance in office.

Any comments would be helpful.

Carl,

You are correct on all counts, and I for one appreciate your honest nature, and commitment to our community that your brother shared. The community at large would be wise to read your remarks, knowing that few people truly appreciate all that your brother did for all of us - for him, his job was always more than a paycheck - right and the law along with service to the community were his hallmarks, and should serve as an example for all of us.

Thank you - most sincerely
