Early Voting Rally!
29 September 2010
I am writing to thank you for your support during the Primary Election and to encourage that you participate in the "early voting" phase of the General Election.On Primary Election Day, I was truly humbled by the breadth of support shown by the voters of State Senate District 5. In fact, the encouragement that I have received throughout the campaign has been personally gratifying.
We are now gearing up for the General Election against our Democrat opponent. We are also working hard to support the election of Bob Ehrlich as Governor. Democrats throughout Maryland are emboldened by the nasty negative advertisements that Governor Martin O'Malley has been airing on television and radio in the Baltimore region.
In addition, I ask that you embrace "early voting" which occurs on Friday, October 22, through Thursday, October 28 (excluding Sunday, October 24). In Carroll County, early voting takes place at the Westminster Senior Activity Center, 125 Stoner Avenue, Westminster. In Baltimore County, the voting center closest to District 5 is located in the Administration Building, Towson University, 7720 York Road, Towson. Early voting polls are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, WE WILL BE SPONSORING AN EARLY VOTING RALLY AND ELECTION DAY DINNER. PLEASE VOTE ON THAT MONDAY AND THEN JOIN US AT THE INN AT ROOP'S MILL. Please click here for additional details about this event.
I look forward to a spirited campaign in the General Election and ask for your continued support and your vote - whether by early voting, absentee voting or a traditional vote on Election Day, November 2.
