I don't think you can take the "vendor" label literally because it says the funds can be transferred to "a political club, committee, or party of the candidate's choice."
So he sent it to the committee to re-elect himself, which means, I would gather, he will be running for re-election again in the future?

Joe you're gonna have to spell this one out. Did Ireton violate election law, or is it just that he's using over $2,000 of the money he ostensibly collected to run for mayor for other purposes.

He's using what was donated to his mayoral run for a run at a state office. God help us all, we don't need another educator in Annapolis giving all of our hard earned tax dollars to the BOE.

Looks like Ireton has a statewide committee set up for electing himself to another office. Norm Conway's seat likely, since that's what the rumble has been for years.

Nothing illegal that I can see. Just the spend-happy, tantrum-throwing mayor licking his chops over higher political office, dreams of being governor eventually no doubt.

He ain't downtown with these parties to celebrate downtown then. They are thinly disguised meet-and-greet build-the-base parties. That explains the other politico names on that invitation you posted.

The wife and I are glad to be somewhere else.

I think what this says is he can NOT transfer this money to himself even if it is for another election.

Ireton For Maryland Committee was formed in May and registered as a candidate committee with the Maryland State Board of Elections.
The Election Participation is listed as Gubernatorial. No specific office is listed. Rumors were that Gansler was considering Ireton as Lt. Gov. due to Ireton's appeal with the LGBT crowd.

It's transferred to another election committee. That's what the law says is an option.

He's his party's loyal pretty boy. If they need him as a front man, they'll sell him for a seat at the table.

If they don't need him, they'll sell him down the river.

It would be the same no matter the party.

I am trying to move out of the city because I think anything I may have worked towards or for is useless

The funds were mailed to Bill & Laura Duck's mailing address; what's the significance of that?

Anonymous said...

11:32 Bill Duck is his treasurer.

Bill Duck is his campaign finance manager. These people are delusional. Ireton might garner votes in the city but he won't get the votes he needs in the county to carry the seat in Annapolis.

yeah, not as many democratic voters in the county. good lucky Yimmy.

Ireton ran for mayor just as a stepping stone. Sickening.
