		<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[The four Republican candidates for Cecil County Executive sparred on multiple issues in a political forum Wednesday night as two current County Council members emphasized the need for enhanced economic development, a frequent critic of county government urged unspecified spending cuts, and a political newcomer who has lost his job over his campaign finance activities sought to kill county economic development programs. In a forum sponsored by the Cecil County Republican Club in Chesapeake City, the four GOP candidates answered questions on various issues—including spending, taxes, jobs and animal control&#8211;and outlined their credentials and experience. It was a dark and stormy night as monsoon rains and high winds pummeled the county, and a small crowd of about 40 people attended the event. At the end of the forum, Republican Club members voted on secret ballots to endorse Dr. Alan McCarthy, the current Vice President of the County Council who has served nearly four years on the panel and is a resident of Chesapeake City, for the GOP nomination for County Executive. The other current County Council member in the race, Dan Schneckenburger (R-5), a Fair Hill resident who has served for nearly two years on the panel, voiced criticisms for [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Republicans running for the Cecil County Council in this year’s June primary election squared off Thursday night in a political forum, with two chief factions emerging in the contests&#8211; local education and economic development backers and problem-solvers contrasted with allies of the state and national anti-government “Campaign for Liberty” organization. But there were also some nuanced positions in the middle. The forum, which was sponsored by the Cecil County Republican Club and held at the county administration building in Elkton, was largely polite and restrained in tone, under strict guidelines for decorum set in place by the club’s president, Steve Moore. (Husband of County Executive Tari Moore.) But one candidate, incumbent Councilor Diana Broomell (R-4), did get a “warning” from Steve Moore when she burst into laughter at comments of another candidate. Under the forum’s format, questions were posed to one candidate at a time but other candidates running for any seat had the chance to offer a rebuttal comment. Only three of the five County Council seats are at stake in this year’s election: District 2, currently represented by Joyce Bowlsbey (R); District 3, currently represented by Michael Dunn (R); and District 4, currently represented by Broomell (R).
