		<description><![CDATA[Donald Harmer, a local liquor store owner and longtime leader of the county’s Parks and Recreation board, has filed to run for Cecil County Council in District 5, challenging incumbent Jackie Gregory, a frequent critic of county spending for parks and recreation programs. Both are candidates in the 2020 Republican primary. Harmer, chairman of the citizen-led parks board for four years and a member of the panel for nine years, has also been a member of the county’s Planning Commission for the past several years. He is the managing partner in ownership of Weaver’s Liquors in Elkton and for many years has been active in various civic and youth groups. He has also been chairman, for the past four years, of the Maryland Strategic Framework for Cecil County, a panel that addresses and seeks solutions to drug and alcohol dependency issues as part of the county’s “Drug-Free Cecil” program. Harmer came to the parks panel after years of involvement in youth sports activities, including two decades as a coach with local soccer programs, and 15 years as assistant athletic director for the Tome School.

Another finance report will be required after the primary. In his report, Hodge showed a prior balance in his bank account of $1,774, with new donations of $405.
