Brewington enters County Council race

This afternoon the field for at-large County Council on the Democratic side will be filled with a second aspirant. But Mike Brewington, who revealed to me he’s making his first run for elective office, is not your typical Democrat.

For the remainder of the story, see my Examiner.com page.

I also have an exclusive audio interview with Brewington here.

I’ll have another new development in Wicomico County politics later today. (Nope, later this week.)

  1. Interesting interview, although his reasons for belonging to the Democratic Party seem pretty weak to me. So what if your family members have always been Democrats or that Thomas Jefferson created the party? You should belong to the party that most closely aligns with your views, and it certainly seems that both on the local and national level that party is not the Democratic Party for someone with Mike’s beliefs. If everyone simply stayed in the same party as their parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, et al, then we’d all be Federalists or Whigs.

    That being said, it’s good to see a conservative candidate run as a Democrat for this seat. It would be much better if we had more conservative Democrats in office. It would be nice to have an election where our choice was between a conservative Democrat and a more conservative Republican. I wish Mike the best of luck but I do wonder how many other Democratic voters agree with him. I guess we’ll find out on the day of the primary election.

  2. If it stays at 2 Democratic candidates the primary won’t matter, and the race may come down to whether Republicans want to choose a centrist member of the GOP in John Cannon or a conservative Democrat in Brewington – the GOP might be surprised with how that goes.
