Election Calendar – July 31 thru August 13

Again, just not a whole lot in the way of specific events. The only four people I have found with events listed in the next two weeks are District 5 County Councilman Larry Dodd, U.S. Congress candidate Jim Corwin, and District 38B contenders Jack Lord and Bonnie Luna. They are among the few who update their campaign calendars on a regular basis.

Dodd has on his calendar that he’ll be at the upcoming NAACP candidate forum (see below.)

Corwin is planning to being amongst the crowds at the Seafood Feast-I-Val in Cambridge on August 12th.

Lord will be at the Showell Fire Department on the 1st, the Blessing of the Combines in Snow Hill on August 5th, and probably one of many Worcester County-based candidates at their county fair (also in Snow Hill) on August 11-12.

Finally, Luna will be at a “neighborhood reception” in Berlin on August 5th and the “Concert on the Lawn” in Berlin on August 13th.

This coming Thursday, August 3rd, the final NAACP candidate forum will occur at the First Baptist Church auditorium, 528 Booth Street, in Salisbury. Hopefuls for the General Assembly are slated to attend, but it will be interesting to see which ones actually do – plus how many other candidates (such as Larry Dodd) will attend. By the way, I still haven’t filled out my candidate survey I got from them yet.

At the moment, that’s the only candidate forum I know of. With county fairs taking center stage for consecutive weekends in August (Wicomico’s runs from the 17th to the 19th) it’s not real likely that there will be many more, time is growing short before the primary election.

Finally, here is Bill Reddish’s WICO-AM morning show schedule so far as I have it:

Monday, July 31: Wicomico County Council District 1 candidate Mac Hayward.
Tuesday, August 1: Wicomico County Council District 4 candidate Bryan Brushmiller.

Brushmiller will be the last Wicomico County Council aspirant on the “hot seat” for the time being. After that, we hear from the many candidates for the two seats representing District 38B in the House of Delegates.

Wednesday, August 2: Candidate Bill McDermott.
Thursday, August 3: Appointed incumbent Jim Mathias.
Friday, August 4: Candidate Sonny Bloxom.

Monday, August 7: Candidate Michael James.
Tuesday, August 8: Candidate Jack Lord.
Wednesday, August 9: Incumbent Norm Conway.

I haven’t received anything further than that from Bill Reddish, but I would hazard a guess that he’s trying to get Bonnie Luna (the other 38B candidate) on for the 10th or 11th. Fortunately (for me) he’s getting the district I’m most interested in on first, before I go on vacation for a few days.

Because of that vacation, next week’s Election Calendar will be an extended version that will cover all the way up to August 27th.
