Republican Primary -
Four years ago, Michael James almost unseated House Appropriations chair Norm Conway (D-38B). This year his is running to replace retiring Maryland senator J. Lowell Stoltzfus (R-38). James has no primary opponent.
Democratic Primary -
Incumbent delegate Jim Mathias (D-38B) is seeking to bring the Distict 38 senate back to the Democrats. Mathias faces a weak primary opponent and his left of center record in the House should allow him to coast through the Democratic primary.
Jim Mathias connects with people in a very unique way. He seems much more genuine than James who only seems interested in the high-rollers.
ReplyDeleteMathias works very hard and reaches out to people in difficult times offering his help. He is not a rubber stamp for the O'Malley administration.
I believe he really tries to do what is best for the lower shore regardless of the consequences to him politically.
When he takes a stand on an issue, he isn't afraid to engage in dialogue with the opposition frequently seeking them out to discuss the reasons behind his position.
He has a big personality and a big heart - and I think he will do great things as a Senator.
