5 Things About David Craig You Never Knew


1. David Craig is a homemaker.

Yes, that's right, literally. The Havre de Grace home was built in 1839 and 150 years later David bought it to make room for his growing family. There was no home inspection holding up this sale. With collapsed ceilings, broken windows, missing doors and vegetation growing over the house, it was not the average "fixer upper." It took four years to renovate that house with David and his father installing a new a roof, walls, kitchen, bathrooms, plumbing and electricity.
 
2. David is the only elected official ever to serve as president of both the Maryland Municipal League and the Maryland Association of County Officials.

These organizations represent local governments in Annapolis ensuring state government respects the essential role of public safety, economic development, and transportation at the local level.

 
 
3. David Craig's favorite President is Calvin Coolidge.

Like David is doing in Maryland, Calvin Coolidge worked his way up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, eventually becoming governor of that state. "Silent Cal" didn't say much, but he did a lot. A small-government conservative, he proved that reducing taxes creates more jobs, and he left a legacy of effective governing that Ronald Reagan inherited to restore American prosperity after the Jimmy Carter presidency.
 
4. David Craig is the first candidate to call for the repeal of Common Core and the Rain Tax.

Before school officials bullied parents at public meetings, before a groundswell of opposition to this federally-imposed education requirements started in Maryland and throughout the country, and before horror stories emerged on social media of tests that punish kids for getting the right answer - David, a life-long educator, was on the record a year ago explaining that it is "just another education fad" and to let teacher's teach

 
5. David Craig was a grease monkey.

He changed your oil, pumped your gas, washed your windows and checked your tires at a Sunoco gas station. He also worked at a bottling plant where his job was to ensure the assembly line machines were running smoothly. These jobs helped David pay the bills during summer months when he worked as a school teacher. If elected, David will make state government work like a well-oiled machine!

he is the right man for the Job... Unfortunately in the Socialist Republic of Maryland, the mouchers will never take a chance of giving up their free ride by electing a real conservative.

Maybe you should check the facts out first before you spout off about someone.
In the late 80's Havre de Grace was still just a small old town. How can you fault a man for buying an old house and doing the work himself? Have the property values gone up since then? Sure they have.
The Eastern Shore could have a lot if you put the right people in office. You call them Baltimorons yet their economy is thriving and the Eastern Shore is going down the tubes quick. Maybe some of you Delmoron should get off your behinds and make things better and get some decent businesses to come there. They just won't decide to come here on their own. Someone has to get out there lure them to the area

Until you change your way of thinking the ES will stay a crap hole.
