		<description><![CDATA[Joyce Bowlsbey, the former President of the Cecil County Council and a longtime leader in many county civic organizations, has filed as a write-in candidate in the November general election, seeking to reclaim her District 2 Council seat that she held for six years. She is opposing political newcomer Rebecca Hamilton, who won the recent Republican primary nomination for the seat as part of a “slate” of candidates financed largely by Del. Kevin Hornberger, the spouse of county executive Danielle Hornberger. Bowlsbey joins another write-in candidate, Phyllis Kilby, an eight-year veteran of the Cecil County Board of Commissioners and a leader in farm and civic groups. Kilby is running in November for a County Council seat now held by Donna Culberson (R-4), who was appointed to her seat last year and recently won the Republican nomination for the general election on the same Hornberger-backed “slate.” Both Bowlsbey and Kilby face an uphill fight, since their names will not appear on the printed ballot presented to voters. Instead, they will have to convince voters to write-in their names on the correct lines for the District 2 and District 4 Council races. By filing their write-in candidacies with the Board of Election, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Phyllis Kilby, an eight-year veteran of the Cecil County Board of Commissioners and a leader in farm and civic groups, has filed with the Board of Elections (BOE) as a write-in candidate for the County Council seat now held by Donna Culberson (R-4), who was appointed to her seat last year and recently won the Republican nomination for the November general election. Kilby faces an uphill fight, since her name will not appear on the printed ballot presented to voters. Instead, she will have to convince voters to write-in her name on the correct line for the District 4 Council race. By filing her write-in candidacy with the BOE, with required financial disclosures and campaign committee documentation, her write-in votes will be counted by the Board of Elections. Write-in votes for people who have not gone through the paperwork hoops of the BOE are not counted. Kilby ran and won two terms for Commissioner as a Democrat, at a time when the Democrats held a majority party registration in the county, but Republicans currently hold a registration majority. Now, she is running as an “unaffiliated” or independent candidate, because, “I feel the problems facing our county require us all to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Low voter turnout, a confusing state election schedule that pushed the primary election to the dog days of summer, and secret campaign money that financed a slew of negative and juvenile, cartoonish glossy flyers combined to make the recently concluded local election the nastiest since the infamous nose-biting incident at the polls not that many years ago. But the chief target of this year’s attacks, County Councilor Al Miller (R-3) survived, with 51.5 percent of the vote, and did so while walking the high road&#8211; without resorting to the sort of cheap shots orchestrated and financed by Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35B). Kevin Hornberger assembled a “slate” of candidates trying to take over the Council to create a compliant majority to support his wife, Danielle Hornberger, the county executive whose $98,000 a year salary will be on the line in the 2024 election. Danielle Hornberger will still get a majority on the Council that will be sworn into office in December, but there will still be two independent voices—Miller and, depending on the issue, current Council President Bob Meffley (R-1). But it remains to be seen if Hornberger’s chief ally and advocate&#8211;Jackie Gregory (R-5), the current vice president of [&#8230;]]]></description>
