The primary election will be held on May, 14th with early voting beginning May 2nd. For better or for worse, I'm continuing to do this to give what I feel is the best information that I can regarding the election for this year. DO UNDERSTAND THAT we MUST involve ourselves in ways that we never had to in the past!!! It will not be enough to go out and vote; then come home!!! Our adversaries are emboldened and feel empowered! They will stop at nothing to steal an election!!! THIS is why we must be on guard and watch the polls like a hawk!! Distributing literature at the polls is OK, but we REALLY need people to be election judges and poll watchers as well! It kills me to say this but we probably need to do mail in voting and ballot harvesting like our adversaries!!! We must offer rides to the polls for those who need it!! If you need a ride, ask for one!!! If you can provide a ride or rides, DO IT!!! If we don't do these things, the enemy will win!!! We cannot afford that!!! Get involved with your local gun club, community group or local political organization(s) sympathetic to your cause to see what you can do about getting involved with candidates that need your help! Moreover, some people will write off voting as futile because of this sort of activity. DO NOT DO THIS!!!! GET OUT TO THE POLLS!!! Your vote is your voice; DON'T WASTE IT!!!
For those of you who are registered Democratic and want to do what I call 'the DINO thing' (i.e. voting for more moderate or conservative Democrats in an effort to try to take out a leftist), there are but a few opportunities this election where that strategy can work although it will take a major effort to launch upsets. As we all know, most newer Democrats have become increasingly hostile to freedom and there are fewer opportunities for such a strategy to work. For Republicans, the best chances lie in Congressional districts one and maybe six.Those are places where you're most likely to get a pro-gun representative elected to Congress. For a statewide office, it's going to be a bit difficult. I'll explain this in the entry for U.S. Senate.
Let me state once again that if you like what I've had to say, you have my permission to re-post this or distribute it in any way, shape of manner that you please. All I ask is that you give me the credit.
I've tried to make this piece as comprehensive as possible. If I missed something, let me know. I'm going with the best information I have available to me. Despite any personal preferences I may have, my approach to these matters is principled where I can afford to be, pragmatic where I feel I have to be. For now, here's my analysis for key races in the Primary Election:
PRESIDENT: For those voting in the Democratic primary, Marianne Williamson seems to be the best protest vote one can cast against Joe Biden. At this stage it probably won't mean much but it's better than nothing. For the Republican primary, give Donald Trump the nod. Do know that you will have at least two other choices for President in the General Election should you feel disenfranchised; maybe and likely at least one more. For those of you who have seen Bobby Kennedy's people gathering petition signatures, I would advise signing that petition not just because it's good to have competition, but because it likely will dilute progressive encroachments.
U.S. SENATE: This is going to be lengthy and perhaps controversial, so please bear with me. There's a lot to be said about the race for this open seat. For the Democratic primary, there are two front-runners vying for the nomination: David Trone and Angela Alsobrooks. Both are hostile to freedom! Almost none of the others running are friendly to us, either. There MAY be an exception, with that being Michael Cobb. Give him your vote. For the Republican primary, there are several choices. Perennial candidate Robin Ficker seems good on our issue, but I'm concerned that he has a track record which doesn't inspire confidence in the mind of the average voter! As such, I don't recommend him! Similarly, I'm also not confident about Chris Chaffee, who ran two years ago and did poorly. I hear some positive things about Lorie Friend and John Myrick. The problem is while both of these candidates are principled, I'm concerned that neither of these candidates can get the blessing of the state GOP, which without it, makes it nearly impossible to win in a statewide race. There are a couple of other folks that have 'thrown their hat in the ring', but again, none look promising. That leaves me to the final choice and the only likely choice that has the blessing of the state GOP: former Governor Larry Hogan. He isn't great on our issue, but he did stop some egregious encroachments against our issue as Governor. Whether he'll vote against such encroachments as Senator remains to be seen should he win. I'm unsure of this. We'll need to keep the pressure on should he be victorious. The bottom line: vote your conscience, but be aware of the outcomes under each scenario! Know that you will have at least two additional choices in the fall should you feel disenfranchised. One of said individuals, Libertarian Mike Scott, is a strong supporter of our issue!
REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS:
DISTRICT 1 (EASTERN SHORE, HARFORD COUNTY, far eastern and far northeastern BALTIMORE COUNTY): For the Democratic ticket, Blane Miller seems to be the better choice. For the Republican ticket, incumbent ally Andy Harris has been there for us, so give him your vote. The last election showed a victory for Harris in a three-way race, but it wasn't by a desired margin. It wouldn't hurt to be on our guard. There will be a third candidate for the general election this time around as well.
DISTRICT 2 (far north-central BALTIMORE CITY, much of BALTIMORE COUNTY and much of CARROLL COUNTY): With foe Dutch Ruppersberger retiring, this is an open seat with a great deal of activity. For the Democratic primary, virtually no one is really any good for us! Both Johnny Olszewski and Harry Bandhari might be the least of evils. As bad as they might be, the alternatives are worse! For the Republican primary, Dave Wallace seems to be the most principled choice.
DISTRICT 3 (HOWARD COUNTY, far south-western CARROLL COUNTY, northern and east central ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY): With foe John Sarbanes stepping down, there is a great deal of activity for this open seat, too. For the Democratic primary: Mark Chang, Sarah Elfreth, Terri Hill, Clarence Lam and Mike Rogers have proven to be hostile on our issue while in the Maryland General Assembly! Virtually none of the others are good for us either! Jake Pretot might be the least of evils. For the Republican primary: several candidates look good. Berney Flowers may be the most principled choice. Avoid Robert Steinberger who while not horrible, is lukewarm on our issue! There will be a third candidate in the general.
DISTRICT 4 (far north-eastern MONTGOMERY COUNTY, far northern, western and southwestern PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY): We have virtually no pro-gun play in this district. For the Democratic ticket: incumbent and foe Glenn Ivey will have three challengers, two of whom have views that are unknown, the other, Gabriel Njinimbot isn't too good for us either. On the Republican side: George McDermott will advance to the general election unchallenged.
DISTRICT 5 (CHARLES, ST. MARY'S and CALVERT COUNTIES, eastern and southern PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, western and southern ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY): We have little to work with here as well. On the Democratic ticket: Long-time incumbent and foe Steny Hoyer will have three challengers in the primary; none of whom are good for us. On the Republican side, Michelle Talkington will advance to the general unchallenged.
DISTRICT 6 (WESTERN MARYLAND, northern and north-central MONTGOMERY COUNTY): There are numerous candidates in both Democratic and Republican camps vying for this open seat that David Trone is vacating. We have a fighting chance to do something good here - and I mean FIGHTING!!! IT WILL BY NO MEANS BE EASY!!! It will take the right candidate and all hands on deck to see to it that it happens! On the Democratic side, sixteen candidates have thrown their hat in the ring. One would think or hope that with that many candidates, there would be at least one who would show concern for our issue, but that's not the case! Virtually all of them are hostile! Adrian Petrus might be the least of evils, but that isn't saying much! On the Republican side, Todd Puglisi ended his campaign. All the others who've thrown their hat in the ring are good for us. While my thanks goes out to to each of them, we must put up someone who has the best chance of defeating whomever the Democrats field! As such, I feel that Neil Parrott has the edge. One good thing is that the Green party will be fielding a candidate for this race. So if you find yourself in a progressive environment in, say, Montgomery County, metropolitan Frederick, the Hagerstown area or maybe a few other areas, it might be wise to don your 'Moshe Landman for Congress' apparel or material in an effort to dilute as many leftists encroachments as possible. There MAY also be an independent candidate in that race, Jason "Mr. J." Johnson, as well should he qualify for the ballot.
DISTRICT 7 (eastern, western, central and southern BALTIMORE CITY, adjacent areas in BALTIMORE COUNTY): This is a district where there are nothing but long shots. Incumbent and foe Kweisi Mfume will be challenged by Tashi Davis for the Democratic ticket. While by no means ideal, he may be the lesser of evils! On the Republican side: three candidates are vying for that seat. All seem to be good. Vote your conscience.
DISTRICT 8 (central, southern and eastern MONTGOMERY COUNTY): This too is a major long shot for us! On the Democratic side: the vicious, hostile incumbent Jamie Raskin will be challenged by Eric Felber, whose views are unknown but I'll suggest a vote for in a remote effort to try to unseat Raskin! On the Republican side: Cheryl Riley is better for us!
NOTABLE MENTIONS:
BALTIMORE CITY: We have virtually no pro-gun play here, but I'll make some mentions for those who live there.
-MAYOR: There are many candidates who've thrown their hat in the ring for this race! BRANDON SCOTT NEEDS TO GO!!!! On the Democratic side, while perhaps not great on our issue, Thiru Vignarajah may be the most principled choice who has the best chance. On the Republican side, Donald Scoggins looks good for us.
-CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT: On the Democratic side, if he's anything like his wife Marilyn, avoid Nick Mosby like the plague!!! Zeke Cohen might be an OK choice. On the Republican side, ally Emmanuel Digman will advance to the general unchallenged.
-COUNCILMANIC DISTRICTS: Only in districts 2, 6, 7,13 and 14 will there be a contest in the general election. For the primary in District 1, I'm least impressed with Liam Davis. I wish I had more information for these races.
JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT: I regret not being able to get as much information as I could about these races. I think voting against sitting judges might not be a bad strategy. In the 6th Circuit, avoid Marilyn Pierre
SCHOOL BOARD: Not an effect on our issue directly, but the indirect effects will likely be felt in the years to come. Even if you don't have kids in the public school system, I advise you check out the views of the school board candidates wherever you live! I apologize for not being able to offer a thorough analysis but I advise that you call your local school board candidates and support those who are in favor of sound education and not supporting juvenile indoctrination and grooming! Unlike the partisan elections and judgeships, all voters can vote for the school board.
