I serve as a Commissioner for Carroll County because I know I can make a real difference in the lives of everyday citizens of our county. This site contains my issue stands and information about my personal background that help to make that difference.

My temperament, education, experience, skills and talents have uniquely equipped me to be a Commissioner. I ask for your ongoing support. I am a leader who listens. That’s a lot more than a slogan. It’s how I live my life.

Michael D. Zimmer
Commissioner

Press Release - 8/10/10
The candidate who continually seems to want to spin my record as Commissioner struck again recently with his attack on my practice of taking one or two meals a month at one of our local senior centers. He alleges this practice lacks an official purpose and is merely politics on my part. The official purpose of these visits is pretty simple. I go to the centers to listen.
 
Commissioner Zimmer denies wrongdoing in trips to senior centers - Carroll County Times. 8/9/10Commissioner Michael Zimmer said his frequent visits to senior centers in Carroll County aren't campaign-related and don't violate policies prohibiting the centers from holding political events.
 
County commissioners adopt lower tax cap - Carroll County Times. 8/6/10Carroll residents could see smaller increases in their property tax bills in the future. On Thursday, the Carroll County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt a reduction on the cap of the Homestead Tax Credit. They lowered the cap from 7 percent to 5 percent following a public hearing on the proposal.
 
Press Release - 8/3/10
My English teachers in high school taught me to cite my sources in my papers. My college speech professor taught the same lesson in that class. Certain attacks have been leveled against my record by one candidate in particular. This candidate has a habit of making outrageous observations of his spin about my votes, yet conveniently he seems to leave out key facts or blatantly misrepresent the facts in these attacks. He also conveniently fails to cite sources for his charges.

Record clear on police issues - Letter to the Carroll County Times. 7/28/10The next Board of Commissioners will tackle many issues. One concern will be the future of law enforcement. Here are the facts about my record.

In 2008 I wrote the governor to ask that he sign a referendum bill passed by the General Assembly to subject the future of law enforcement to a vote by the public. The majority on the board shot this referendum down in a two to one vote...
 
Press Release - 7/26/10
Recently one of the District 5 candidates has questioned my decision to hire a full time special assistant when I was skeptical of such hires several years ago. His attack ignores a simple reality of what happened during the General Election of 2006.
 
Carroll County Chamber Position Statement - 7/21/10
Chamber's position statement supports proposed Waste-to-Energy Facility.
"The Frederick/Carroll County Renewable Waste-to-Energy facility appears to be in the overall best interests of the County, its businesses, and its residents, and the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce strongly supports the project."
 
Support offered for candidate Jim Rutledge - Letter to the Carroll County Times. 6/20/10
Since 2008 voters in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts have expressed their displeasure with the policies of President Barack Obama. Will this be the year for similar voter anger to be displayed in Maryland?
Washington-based policies seem to be oriented to ever-increasing spending and deficits. It is time to send a Senator to Washington who retains a love for freedom and a respect for constitutionally limited government and spending.

We have a choice this year to elect a new U.S. Senator. I'm backing Jim Rutledge for this task. In fact, he's asked me to serve as his honorary chair of his Carroll County campaign...
 
 
Press Release: Today I have filed for election as County Commissioner 06/08/10
