		<description><![CDATA[Jason Gallion, a Harford County farmer and a former two-time candidate for the House of Delegates, has been named by Republicans in the two-counties of Senate District 35 to run unopposed on the GOP primary election ballot in June. His name would replace that of incumbent Sen. Wayne Norman, who died suddenly on Sunday. While Cecil and Harford county residents were still in a state of shock at the sudden loss of the jovial and well-liked Norman, the state Board of Elections rules provided that Monday (3/5/2018) was the last day for a party central committee to replace a candidate who had already filed or to fill a vacant slot for the June 26 primary ballot. On Monday, the state elections website listed, in bold red typeface, the death of Sen. Norman and also listed the selection of Gallion by his party central committees for a place on the ballot. District 35 covers northeastern Harford County and sections of western Cecil County. Gallion is already known in the Cecil County portion of the district from his previous 2014 run for delegate and he placed first in the Cecil County vote tally in a three-way race, but he came up short [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early voting in the 2016 primary elections, which began last Thursday and continues for a week, is bringing out a small, but steady, voter turnout in an election that will decide several local contests as well as register county voters’ views on statewide and national campaigns. So far, southern Cecil County voters have a strong turnout rate in the early polling. Early voting in Cecil County is held at just one polling place—the county administration building on Chesapeake Blvd. in Elkton—and each day, campaign signs and supporters of various candidates have made a strong presence to try to woo voters to their candidates moments before votes are cast. Republicans hold a modest, but increasing, registration advantage in the county overall, and GOP voters show a slightly higher rate of participation in early voting, according to state Board of Elections data. On the first day of early voting, on 4/14/16, 482 ballots were cast, including 271 Republican ballots and 196 Democrats, plus independents and minor party members. A similar turnout was recorded on Friday (a total of 487 voters) but turnout dropped considerably (148 voters) on Saturday—a beautiful, warm, sunny day when outdoor activities might have been more attractive than traveling [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT With less than a month before the primary elections for Cecil County Executive and County Council, some candidates have surged to the forefront in campaign fundraising and activity while a recent candidates’ forum displayed some not-ready-for-prime-time verbal paralysis. Top fundraiser for County Executive is current County Council Vice President Alan McCarthy (R-1), with mostly local donations, while his three GOP primary rivals lag in donations and rely heavily on out of area supporters. In addition, during a candidates’ forum sponsored by the Cecil County Chamber of Commerce at Cecil College in North East on 3/29/16, contenders answered questions and outlined their campaign agendas. Most of the candidates handled the generally softball questions with ease—with the exception of one political newcomer who choked up under the pressure of even describing his own positions and reasons for running for office. Alan McCarthy’s latest campaign finance report, the pre-primary filing required on 3/22/16, showed a bank balance of $9,343, after new contributions of $8,150 and expenditures of $1,789 for the period from 1/14/16 through 3/15/16. His account had a carry-over balance of $2,982 from previous fundraising efforts. McCarthy’s contributions came from a range of well-known local Republicans and [&#8230;]]]></description>
