Harvesters join together to support Hogan-Rutherford
CAMBRIDGE,
MD — September 16, 2014 — Eastern Shore farmers and watermen will join together
in support of gubernatorial candidate Larry Hogan on September 28, 2014 at
Sailwinds Park in Cambridge from 1 – 5 pm. The event will include local produce
and steamed crabs harvested by area farmers and watermen.
Larry
Hogan said, "I am honored by the overwhelming support I have received from
Maryland's farmers and watermen and I look forward to connecting with them
about the issues that have affected their industries over the last eight years.
It's obvious that Anthony Brown and the current administration have declared a
war on rural Maryland, making it extremely difficult for our two most historic
industries to grow and be successful in our state. In the Hogan-Rutherford
administration, the agriculture and seafood industries will always have a seat
at the table as we work to come up with common sense solutions that don't threaten
these pillars of our economy," said Hogan.
Hogan
has a consistent record of advocacy for the farming and seafood industries in
the state, and has made a number of visits to the shore to learn more about the
issues from local farmers and watermen. Hogan's running mate, Boyd Rutherford,
also has a background in agriculture issues, having served as the Assistant
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture under George W. Bush.
The
Harvesters for Hogan event will be located at 200 Byrne Street in Cambridge.
Tickets are $25 or $30 at the door. Anyone interested in attending is
encouraged to RSVP by September 25 to Martin Tolley, (410) 397-3710; Linda
Spicer, (410) 228-3366; or Libby Nagel, (410) 430-1045. Tickets can also be

Voting for this ticket. Farmers have their finger on the pulse of what is really going on. People don't realize how much farmers know about the world and world trade.
FYI Farmers - Jim Perdue supports ANthony Brown with $$$$.
