Barry Rascovar January 21, 2015 Future looks bright for short-term delegate Cavey

Barry Rascovar January 21, 2015 Future looks bright for short-term delegate Cavey


++++++++++++++++++++++++

Columnist Barry Rascovar discusses Chris Cavey who recently “Cavey served as a Baltimore County delegate for just 16 days. Clearly, some explanation is in order…”

I have worked with Del. Cavey for many years and I have appreciated every moment of it. Del. Cavey is thoughtful, very bright, insightful, a strategic thinker and always seems to easily understand the context in we serve and see the bigger picture. 

In an era when it is not good enough to be the best, Del. Cavey is nice.

And yes, many of us are looking forward to Cavey now “participating in the administrative side of things in Annapolis during Hogan's term as governor…”

At a time when reaching across the aisle and playing nice in order to move the ball forward; Del. Cavey is perfect for leadership in the Hogan administration in Annapolis.

Del. Cavey knows Maryland government and remembers when members of Maryland General Assembly may have disagreed upon various issues; but they always worked together harmoniously for the greater good of Maryland. Remember the name Cavey – it rhymes with civility.

WE are looking forward to many great things from Del. Cavey.

Please enjoy Mr. Rascovar’s column…

When the Maryland General Assembly kicked off its 90-day session a week ago, two members of the House of Delegates from Baltimore County were missing.

One of them is a familiar name to people living in rural parts of the county — Del. Wade Kach, a fixture in the Maryland State House for four decades. The retired teacher just kept getting reelected.

The other missing delegate is not nearly as familiar — Chris Cavey.

Cavey served as a Baltimore County delegate for just 16 days. Clearly, some explanation is in order.


[…]

Kach did the smart thing and ran for Baltimore County Council instead.

His name recognition and reputation as a diligent, moderate conservative helped him defeat one-term incumbent GOP Councilman Todd Huff of Lutherville.

Kach then won easily in November with 68 percent of the vote.

He was sworn in as a councilman in early December, leaving a void in the county's legislative delegation. By law, the Republican Central Committee for the county gets to appoint a replacement, with the governor's consent.
Enter, Chris Cavey.

The former insurance agent has been a longtime field worker for Republican candidates. He served as chair of the Baltimore County Republican Party for seven years and as first vice-chair of the state Republican Party for 7 1/2 years.


[…]

Hogan and Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford attended Cavey's swearing-in ceremony in the House chambers. The interim delegate's grandchildren held the Bible as he took the oath of office.


Now that Chris Cavey's name has been entered in the legislative record book, he can turn to his next assignment — participating in the administrative side of things in Annapolis during Hogan's term as governor…
