Election Calendar – August 28 thru September 12

This will be the final Election Calendar until after the primary. Unfortunately, many campaigns are going to be in the mode where they schedule by the seat of their pants so I don’t get the benefit of seeing it on their website calendars. So the pickings are pretty slim.

Here’s items that carry over from last week:

…the regular meeting of the Wicomico County Republican Club occurs on Monday, August 28 at the Chamber of Commerce building (144 E. Main in Salisbury.) We’ll begin the schmoozing at 7:00 p.m. and get to hear from District 38B hopeful Bonnie Luna and Wicomico County Sheriff candidate Chris South about 7:30 or so. I’m sure almost every Republican that’s on the Wicomico County ballot will be there.

Also upcoming is a fundraiser for County Executive candidate BJ Corbin on August 31st, 6-9 p.m. This $50 event will be held at the Old Mill Crab House along Route 54 at Waller Road just west of Delmar.

I saw in my perusal of websites today that District 38B contender Jack Lord is planning on being at a Block Party in Pocomoke on September 9th and fellow 38B candidate Michael James has a “meet and greet” here in Salisbury on August 30th. (I know his campaign manager Dustin Mills reads monoblogue, perhaps he’ll share further details.) Yet another District 38B candidate, Bonnie Luna, has many events on her excellent calendar, I’ll just go ahead and link here to it to save myself a bunch of typing.

Finally, I found that District 37B incumbent Addie Eckardt (she of the hot pink signage) has a fundraiser on September 11th in Cambridge at American Legion Post 91 (it’s right on Route 50). The festivities run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and admission is $35. To RSVP you may call (410) 228-8048.

That’s pretty much it. I do get e-mail from many campaigns but most of them are looking for money or spreading news about previous events. Whether the Election Calendar is a viable service of monoblogue is going to depend on how much cooperation I get after the primary – of course with the field of candidates narrowed (sometimes drastically like in the U.S. Senate race) that may make things a little easier, I can just verify which e-mail addresses I do have and make sure I can contact the remainder.

Also, I believe Bill Reddish has managed to wade through the entire field of primary candidates for his usual 7:40 a.m. to 8 a.m. interview slot so I’m guessing that he’s also going to take a political hiatus as well. I heard on Friday that Salisbury city councilperson Debbie Campbell is Monday’s guest so that tells me we’re back to normalcy for awhile.
