Former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee endorses Justin Ready for District 5A Carroll County Delegate

Former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee endorses local candidate for office.

Announcement made Thursday on Huckabee’s national blog.

Thursday, September 2, 2010

By Kevin Dayhoff

On Thursday former Arkansas Gov. and former 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee (R) endorsed Justin Ready, the candidate for District 5A of the Maryland House of Delegates

According to Washington Post political writer, John Wagner; who wrote about the endorsement in the Post’s political blog, Maryland Politics; “Ready, a former executive director of the Maryland Republican Party, served as Huckabee's campaign director for Maryland in 2008.”

Huckabee announced the endorsement on his Huck PAC blog.  Wagner writes that Huckabee “is eying another bid in 2012…”

District 5A includes Westminster, Finksburg, Manchester, and Hampstead and stretches from the Pennsylvania line to the north, the Baltimore County line to the east, Finksburg to the south and Westminster to the west.

Ready had announced his candidacy for House of Delegates relatively early, on January 29, as the last winter session of the Maryland General Assembly began; and long before incumbent District 5A Del. Tanya Shewell announced on July 1 that she would not be seeking re-election.

The other incumbent, Del. Nancy Stocksdale (R) is running for her seat again.  Although there is no Democrat challenger for the seat, two other Republicans have thrown their hat in the ring for the September 14th Republican primary; William Niner of Hampstead, and Dave Wallace of Finksburg.

Ready, who has been quite actively campaigning and has been frequently seen waving his campaign signs along major roads early in the morning and late in the evening as folks commute to work.

He has also gathered quite a few endorsements, including former District 5A Del. Carmen Amedori and retiring Delegate Shewell.

It is not known when the last time such a national know political figure has weighed-in on Carroll County politics or if Huckabee has ever visited the county of if he intends to campaign for ready in the county.

Huckabee wrote on his blog, “Huck PAC and I are proud to endorse Justin Ready for Maryland State Delegate from District 5A.  Justin has the right kind of experience needed to represent the people and he is ready to serve.

“Justin has legislative experience from working in the Maryland General Assembly for two conservative Republican legislators; he’s also served as the Executive Director of the Maryland Republican Party.

“A small business owner, Justin understands firsthand how excessive spending and high taxes wreak havoc on a business and he will fight to reduce taxes and eliminate wasteful spending.  Electing Justin Ready will help bring real positive change to Maryland.

“Justin is pro-life, pro-family and strongly supports 2nd Amendment rights. Just has also been endorsed by Maryland Right to Life, so we will never have to question where he stands on the sanctity of life.

“Please join me in supporting Justin Ready for Maryland State Delegate. We can count on Justin to fight for us in Annapolis.”

DELEGATE TANYA THORNTON SHEWELL CHOOSES NOT TO SEEK RE-ELECTION


DELEGATE TANYA THORNTON SHEWELL CHOOSES NOT TO SEEK RE-ELECTION

Delegate Shewell announced that she will not seek re-election, but will join her husband in retirement in January. With children, grandchildren, and two widowed, 86 yr. old mothers living in five different states, retirement will bring the time to be more supportive and engaged in their families’ lives. Volunteer work, supporting conservative political candidates, reading and travel will occupy the balance of their time. Delegate Shewell will finish serving her current term as delegate on January 11, 2011.

Delegate Shewell is grateful to Governor Ehrlich and the Carroll County Republican Central Committee for her appointment to serve in the Maryland General Assembly in August 2004. She also counts it a privilege and an honor to have been elected by Carroll citizens in 2006 to continue her public service. Her campaign was run on the slogan, “Results not Promises”. Having personally sponsored and passed five bills, having helped to pass 23 Carroll County Delegation bills, and having helped to pass 130 bills that she co-sponsored, Delegate Shewell has achieved positive results. Her passed bills concerned: jury improvement, wiretap and surveillance use in court in sexual abuse of a child, military family child custody and visitation law, extending the reporting of juvenile violent or drug-related arrests to non-public school administrators, and increased penalties for providing alcohol to under aged individuals.

Keeping a signed Taxpayer Pledge to vote no on any proposed tax increases and also to vote to reduce taxes, Delegate Shewell has kept her second campaign pledge. The “Carroll Compact,” negotiated by Del. Shewell, was a signed agreement with the four newspapers serving Carroll that they would deal constructively with the nuisance and environmental hazards of free newspaper delivery, negating the need to pass her proposed bill. This issue and bill received national attention and was written about in the April 2008 issue of State Legislators, a magazine of the National Council of State Legislatures.

Delegate Shewell has served on the Judiciary Committee for two years and on the Environmental Matters Committee for four years. The Speaker of the House appointed Del. Shewell to the Special House Committee on Drug and Alcohol Abuse. Minority Caucus Leadership appointed her Deputy Minority Whip in 2006-2010. She has served on the following subcommittees: Juvenile Law; Agriculture, Ag Preservation and Open Space; Housing and Real Property; and Local and Bi-County bills.
