City Council Candidate Abruptly Withdraws From Race

OCEAN CITY – With the election less than two weeks away, City Council candidate Nancy Bolt withdrew from the race today.

On Thursday morning at about 11:30 a.m., Ocean City Council candidate Nancy Bolt reported to The Dispatch she had withdrawn from the 2014 Ocean City municipal election. Bolt was not prepared to make an official statement at that time as to why she made the decision and asked for time to gather her thoughts.

City Clerk Kelly Allmond confirmed shortly after that Bolt’s withdrawal was official as she had received notice in writing.

“At this time, I respectfully withdraw from the race for City Council,” Bolt’s email to Allmond stated.

Prior to Bolt withdrawing, there were a total of eight candidates running to fill four vacant council seats in the election to be held on Nov. 4 — incumbent Council President Lloyd Martin, former Councilman Joe Hall, and newcomers Bolt, who was the only female candidate, Joe Cryer, Tony DeLuca, Wayne Hartman, Matthew James and Christopher Rudolf.

She's cute and smart. The Mayor knew she wouldn't be his puppet, and released the "dogs" on her. Look at the letter to the editor by Patti Miller, wife of crook Peck that has had ties exposed on TV and in public. Good old boys club at it's worst. Guys would say, "dam women don't need to be here, other than lap dog Knight.

11:09 During a recent council meeting concerning town purchase of lots, the seller revealed "an inside source" close the mayor contacted him about the sale, came right out and called Peck down. Also ANYONE that has delt with him, way back to his surf shop knows this is true
