		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore—a Republican who came under fire in her party when she briefly left the GOP to break a deadlock on appointing her successor to the County Council two years ago&#8211; has endorsed a Democrat running for County Executive in Howard County against a well-known statewide Republican. The endorsement, highlighted during a candidates’ debate this week, was the topic of much hand-wringing among state Republican party officials last Friday during the state party’s annual Oktoberfest gathering. “People were asking, ‘What was Moore thinking?’,” according to a source who attended the event but spoke on condition of anonymity. Courtney Watson, a Democrat, is running against Republican State Sen. Allan Kittleman for Howard County Executive. The winner of the election will succeed Ken Ullman, who is running for Lt. Governor on the statewide Democratic ticket with gubernatorial candidate Anthony Brown. The local race is seen as a high-profile contest with potential statewide political implications by both parties. On her campaign Facebook page, Watson recently posted that she was “Proud to have the endorsement of the only elected female county executive in the state, Tari Moore (who happens to be a Republican!)” The post included a photo of the two [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Former state Republican Party chair Audrey Scott withdrew Friday night from the hotly contested race for appointment to the state Senate seat recently vacated by E.J. Pipkin, leaving a potential head-to-head fight between two current state Delegates for the post. Since Pipkin was a Republican, his successor to fill out the remaining year and a half of his term is picked by a vote of each of the local Republican Central Committees in the four counties covered by the district. In an email—first reported by the conservative blog Red Maryland&#8211; to current state party chair and Eastern Shore resident Diana Waterman, Scott wrote that she was withdrawing her candidacy. She said she had entered the race because “numerous Central Committee members contacted me to ask that I submit my name” and that she had offered detailed letters to the local party panels outlining her qualifications, “commitment to the party” and “my great desire to avoid conflict within our party.” But she said she decided to pull out of the contest so as to clear the way for the current Delegates in the district—Michael Smigiel of Cecil County and Steve Hershey of Queen Anne’s County—to fight it out without a third [&#8230;]]]></description>
