		<description><![CDATA[Amanda Bessicks, a first-time political candidate who promised to shake up the State’s Attorney’s office and make it more responsive to crime victims, won in a three-way contest in Tuesday’s Republican primary. There was no Democratic candidate in the race. Bessicks, 34, has been prosecuting cases involving crimes against children since January and was been a prosecutor for four years. She is a graduate of the University of Delaware and the Widener University Law School and served as a law clerk in the local Circuit Court before joining the State’s Attorney’s office. Despite being a newcomer to local politics, Bessicks drew strong support from victim advocates, especially the family of Terri Ann McCoy, who was brutally murdered in a Chesapeake City home invasion several years ago. She was also endorsed by the Republican Club of Cecil County. Other candidates in the race were Karl Fockler, deputy State’s Attorney since last year and a more than ten-year veteran of the office; and Kevin Urick, a prosecutor with over 12 years’ experience in Cecil County and previously a Baltimore City prosecutor for over 15 years. With all but two precincts reporting, Bessicks won 50.5 percent of the vote. Fockler drew support from31.9 [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A veteran Maryland State Police trooper, Joseph D. Uhler, has filed candidacy papers to run against incumbent state Del. Michael Smigiel in the District 36 Republican primary for the 2014 election. Uhler, 47, a resident of Elkton, has been a state trooper since 1997, he told Cecil Times in an interview. He has served in road patrol and criminal investigations division work with the police agency. He was born in Baltimore, and served eight years of active duty in the US Army and has served in the National Guard. “I’m in it to win it,” Uhler said of his campaign for the delegate seat. “I’ll be an active candidate,” he added. However, at the present time Uhler is being careful to separate his police duties from his political aspirations, and it took quite a few days for Cecil Times to schedule an interview on his off-duty hours so as to avoid any conflict with his police work. At some point in the long haul toward the 2014 election, he will have to “make a decision” about his future, he added, such as a leave of absence or other options regarding his law enforcement career. “I guess I’m an underdog,” Uhler [&#8230;]]]></description>
