District 38B hopeful Kenney a rare political breed

In this year of the political newcomer it seems that most of these neophytes became interested in the process over the last few months as groups like Americans for Prosperity, Campaign for Liberty, and 9-12 Patriots evolved in great part from Tea Parties held in the spring and summer of 2009. Many of these political newcomers have shaped the 2010 Maryland electoral landscape, particularly in local races.

But District 38B hopeful A. Kaye Kenney states right up front, “let me assure you that I am not nor have I been a member of the Tea Party movement.” Instead, her political upbringing comes through a more traditional route.

One question which occured to me as I wrote this piece: was she for or against privatizing the Wicomico County Liquor Commission? I don’t recall.

Update: Kenney responds, “I served on the study committee and our committee was unanimous that it should be privatized.  I still believe it should be privatized.  The situation was that in the last couple years, the dispensary’s contribution to the county has increased and we couldn’t find the funds to replace their contribution.  The county believes at this time they can’t do without those funds.”

Thanks!
