		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it was the location in historic Chestertown, the home of Washington College and a tradition of political civility, that led to a particularly polite candidates’ forum Tuesday night among candidates for state Delegate and Senator in the 36th district. An earlier forum in Cecil County with many of the same candidates had lots more fireworks. There were a few moments of spirited ripostes toward the end of the program, when Democrat William Manlove, running for the 36th District seat currently held by Republican Michael Smigiel, cited the attack ads against Republican Del. Richard Sossi of Queen Anne’s County, who narrowly lost the GOP primary to Stephen S. Hershey. (Hershey, who is now unopposed in the general election, did not attend the forum that was sponsored by the Kent County League of Women Voters.) “It has disturbed many people,” Manlove said of the tactics used against Sossi. Smigiel and incumbent Sen. E.J. Pipkin campaigned as a team with Hershey and Pipkin paid for a flyer endorsing Hershey. Manlove pointed out that Smigiel was rejected by a majority of voters in Kent and Cecil counties in the last election and only won due to support from a “coalition of Del.

		<description><![CDATA[   Incumbent Republican Barry Janney will again face Democrat Chris Sutton in the November general election, after Janney won the Republican primary and Sutton defeated challengers in the Democratic primary Tuesday.       Sutton soundly defeated challenger Robert &#8220;Skip&#8221; DeWitt, racking up 3,128 votes to Dewitt&#8217;s 1,855. A third candidate, William Gerczak, received 594 votes. Sutton received 56 percent of the vote to DeWitt&#8217;s 33 percent, while Gerczak tallied 10 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary.      On the Republican side, Janney also faced a three-way primary but ended up with 3,322 votes, or 53 percent of the total. Dan Slater, who had waged an increasingly aggressive campaign, came in second place with 2,011 votes or 32 percent of the total.  Al Michael came in third, with 932, or nearly 15 percent of the vote.     Janney and Sutton ran against each other four years ago. Sutton has been running a virtual campaign almost since he lost that election and he formally declared his candidacy more than a year ago.    Both men have raised susbstantial campaign warchests  Janney has held a sizeable amount in reserve for the general election while Sutton spent heavily on the primary challenge from DeWitt, a [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    Cecil Times has published multiple reports on the campaign finances of the crowded field of candidates running in the Democratic and Republican primaries for Cecil County Sheriff. Here is a brief update on where the candidates&#8217; finances stand as of the most recent reports to the state Board of Elections, filed Sept. 3. Democratic Primary Candidates: CHRIS SUTTON:  He raised an additional $14,688 since his last campaign finance report. After expenses of $8,978, plus a carry-over balance of about $24, he ended up with $5,684 cash in the bank.  Most of his funds came from another golf fundraising event.  But he also had several large donations, the largest of which was $1,250 from Sentman Distributors in Elkton. He also had several donations from businesses in the southern part of the county, including $500 from TD Enterprises in Earleville, $400 from First Choice Concrete in Earleville, and a $300 donation from the Chesapeake Inn in Chesapeake City. Republicans contributing  $440 each for entry fees for the golf event included Chris Zeauskas, whose campaign in the GOP primary for 2nd District county commissioner previously received donations from Democrat Sutton;  Michael Halter, a GOP primary candidate for State&#8217;s Attorney; and Will Davis, who [&#8230;]]]></description>
