It was almost anti-climactic at the polls in Westminster on Tuesday afternoon.

After a year of robo-calls, tons of campaign literature, debates and nonstop news coverage, election day came to Carroll County — and the turnout was heavy and steady.

Just after 4 p.m., as temperatures dropped, there were plenty of hardy campaign workers at the polls at Westminster Elementary School. Joy Fisher and Erin Snell and Jennifer and Molly Harvilak were busy greeting voters and handing out literature in support of Question 6, the Civil Marriage Protection Act.

"Been here since the morning — and we're cold," Fisher said in between shivers… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-election-day-1106-20121106,0,1592306.story

CD6: Republican Candidates Respond to Release of Sen. David Brinkley's 911 Calls // Robin Ficker & Del. Kathy Afzali Speak Out

UPDATE: Maryland Reporter notes a 3rd GOP candidate response from Brandon Rippeon. He calls both Bartlett and Brinkley "unworthy." 


The Republican Primary in Maryland's 6th Congressional District is getting crazy as we get closer to election day. Over the weekend, Rep. Roscoe Bartlett took out a sledgehammer and smacked challenger State Sen David Brinkley in the head. His supporters unearthed audio tapes of 911 calls placed by Brinkley's ex-wife that were made when the Senator was caught in an affair.


Two Republican candidates are now condemning the shenanigans in the CD6 race. Below we print email blast responses from former Delegate Robin Ficker and Delegate Kathy Afzali. Ficker's email message is reportedly going out to 40,000 voters....  http://www.marylandjuice.com/2012/04/cd6-republican-candidates-respond-to.html

In all honesty, we didn’t expect Bartlett to seek re-election given his district was redrawn to elect a Democrat. But the 85-year-old lawmaker is running and running hard. That doesn’t change the fundamentals of his new district, which underwent one of the biggest partisan conversions of any seat in the country. It’s possible that all of the ingredients could come together for Bartlett, who faces a primary next month, to pull off a win. But it just doesn’t seem plausible at this point.... http://www.rollcall.com/features/Election-Preview_2012/election/-213163-1.html

    Maryland: Democratic Primary to Face Bartlett Heats Up | At the Races

    Maryland: Democratic Primary to Face Bartlett Heats Up | At the Races: "Maryland: Democratic Primary to Face Bartlett Heats Up

    By Abby Livingston Posted at 12:02 a.m. on March 20"

    With the April 3 primary only two weeks away, Maryland’s 6th district race has become one of the most heated in the country.
    Democratic candidates are busy campaigning across the district — which covers western Maryland and stretches all the way to the Washington, D.C., suburbs — in hopes of challenging Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, the likely Republican nominee, in the fall.
    The top two Democratic contenders, state Senate Majority Leader Rob Garagiola and businessman John Delaney, participated in a candidate forum on Saturday sponsored by the Washington County Democratic Central Committee. The event was held at the UAW Hall in Hagerstown. Garagiola and Delaney, along with the other three Democrats running, also participated in a debate Sunday in Gaithersburg to discuss issues ranging from Iran to women’s contraception... http://atr.rollcall.com/maryland-democratic-primary-to-face-bartlett-heats-up/

    State lawmakers hope to ride anti-incumbent wave to Congress

    State lawmakers hope to ride anti-incumbent wave to Congress



    By John Fritze, The Baltimore Sun
    9:25 p.m. EST, January 4, 2012

    Nearly a half-dozen Maryland state lawmakers are hoping to exploit the nation's anti-incumbent mood with campaigns for Congress that focus heavily on Washington's dysfunction.

    Two Republican state senators, David Brinkley of Frederick County and Nancy Jacobs of Harford County, announced plans this week to run for the House of Representatives. A third, Democrat C. Anthony Muse of Prince George's County, is expected to toss his name in for the Senate on Thursday... http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-congress-2012-20120104,0,7834362.story

    Brinkley for Congress Announces Senator Shank to Chair Washington County

    Brinkley for Congress Announces Senator Shank to Chair Washington County

    December 13, 2011 (Frederick, MD) — State Senator David Brinkley announced today that State Senator
    Chris Shank of Hagerstown, the former House Minority Whip, would be his campaign chair for Washington
    County. Senator Shank was one of the first to join the Exploratory Committee to support Brinkley’s
    candidacy for the United States House of Representatives in the newly-redrawn 6th Congressional District.

    “A victory in this election will be determined by who wins Washington County,” said Brinkley. “Senator
    Shank’s effort on our behalf will play a major role in this campaign. I cannot think of a better person to
    organize our campaign than someone who whipped votes in the State House,” he added.

    “I served with David for four years in the House, and now in the Senate, and I have witnessed firsthand his
    conservative leadership, superior constituent service and tireless work ethic. In these trying economic times,
    as a financial planner, I believe David is the best candidate to represent the new 6th,” said Shank.

    In addition to Senator Shank, a partial list of the Committee co-chairs include State Senators George
    Edwards, Joe Getty, Alan Kittleman and Minority Leader E.J. Pipkin; State Delegates Wendell Beitzel,
    Leroy Myers, Don Elliott, Susan Krebs, Donna Stifler and Kelly Schulz; and Montgomery County
    Republican Central Committee Chair Mark Uncapher.

    David Brinkley served as vice chair of the local Republican State Central Committee, was elected to two
    terms in the Maryland House of Delegates representing Frederick County, and was recently re-elected to his
    third term in the State Senate representing Frederick and Carroll Counties.

    David is a Charter Life Underwriter (CLU), a Charter Financial Consultant (ChFC), a financial planner and a
    small business owner. He is a former volunteer EMT and firefighter with the New Market District Volunteer
    Fire and Rescue Company. He was born in the City of Frederick and has an undergraduate degree from
    the University of Maryland. He has two children and lives in Frederick County. He is a member of Grace
    Episcopal Church.

    Brinkley Announces Delegate Beitzel to Chair Garrett County Campaign


    Brinkley Announces Beitzel and Myers to Chair Garrett and Allegany Counties 
    Senator Edwards joins Exploratory Committee
     
    December 20, 2011 (Frederick, MD) — State Senator David Brinkley announced today that Delegate Wendell Beitzel would be his campaign chair for Garrett County and Delegate Leroy Myers would chair Allegany County. Along with Senator George Edwards, they were among the first to join the Exploratory Committee to support Brinkley’s candidacy for the United States House of Representatives in the newly-redrawn 6th Congressional District.
     
    “Garrett and Allegany Counties have always been among the most reliable conservative counties within the 6th Congressional District,” said Brinkley. “Just like Route 68, the road to the Republican nomination runs right through Mountain Maryland,” he added. 
     
    The endorsement by these Western Maryland legislative leaders is evidence of the growing support for new leadership in Congress. “I could not take on this challenge without their support,” Brinkley said.
     
    In his endorsement, Beitzel said, “I first became acquainted with Senator Brinkley during my freshman term in the Maryland House of Delegates.   Although we served in different chambers, I soon realized that he possessed impressive leadership qualities. David is a very strong champion for Western Maryland and steadfastly works to uphold the conservative values and principles that I admire in a leader. I believe Senator Brinkley is the best candidate to represent the new 6th in Congress as the nation struggles to regain its footing from economic decline and social unrest,” said Beitzel.
    "David and I serve on the budget committees in Annapolis and he knows how to submit balanced budgets without resorting to tax increases," Myers added.  "David Brinkley is the proven fiscal conservative we need in Washington, now more than ever."
    In addition to Beitzel, Myers and Edwards, a partial list of the Committee co-chairs include State Senators Chris Shank, Joe Getty, Alan Kittleman and Minority Leader E.J. Pipkin; State Delegates Kelly Schulz, Don Elliott, Susan Krebs, and Donna Stifler; Mayor Randy McClement of Frederick and Mayor Bob Bruchey of Hagerstown and Montgomery County Republican Central Committee Chair Mark Uncapher. 
    David Brinkley was elected to two terms in the Maryland House of Delegates representing Frederick County, and was recently re-elected to his third term in the State Senate representing Frederick and Carroll Counties. David is a Charter Life Underwriter (CLU), a Charter Financial Consultant (ChFC), a financial planner and a small business owner. He is a former volunteer EMT and firefighter with the New Market District Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company. He was born in the City of Frederick and has an undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland. He has two children and lives in Frederick County. He is a member of Grace Episcopal Church.
