		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS The national shock and horror of last weekend’s mass shootings in El Paso, TX and Dayton, OH brought out the usual “thoughts and prayers” for the victims from a bipartisan roster of public officials, but that wasn’t good enough for State Sen. Steve Hershey (R-36), who represents Cecil County and three other Eastern Shore counties in Annapolis. Virtually alone among Maryland Republicans, Hershey has taken to Twitter for several days to call out racists and suggest that President Trump didn’t go far enough to address the root causes of the terrorism that targeted Hispanics in Texas. “I’m done with the thoughts and prayers. I’m done with the phony outrage from scores of politicians. I’m angry. I’m horrified. I’m devastated. Our American culture is suffering. Let’s call this what it is: A white nationalist committed an act of terrorism.” Hershey wrote on Sunday 8/4/2019. Later, after President Trump and others insisted that mental illness was the cause, Hershey observed, “How many more times are we going to use “mental illness” as the standard response to a mass shooting? That crutch has been worn thin. Here’s what happened in El Paso: a guy drove hundreds of miles and committed an [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County incumbent Del. Michael Smigiel (R) defeated former Cecil County Commissioner Bill Manlove (D) in the multi-county district with a commanding victory in Queen Anne&#8217;s County and wins in the other counties of the district, including Cecil County. In the other two seats at stake in the 36th District, Republicans swept to victory as well for seats representing Kent and Queen Anne&#8217;s counties. [UPDATED with 1:37 am state elections board updated report:] Districtwide, Smigiel tallied 25,026 votes to Manlove&#8217;s 16,352 votes&#8211; a 60.4 percent victory to 39.5 percent. In heavily Republican Queen Anne&#8217;s County, final vote counts (except for absentee and provisional ballots that will be counted later) Smigiel registered 11,510 votes, to Manlove&#8217;s 5,341 votes. In Cecil County, Smigiel compiled 7,297 votes to 6,526 for Manlove&#8211; 52.7 percent to 47.1 percent. In Caroline County, Smigiel tallied 2,437 to Manlove&#8217;s 1,410 votes with all precincts reporting, local election officials told Cecil Times. In Democratic-leaning Kent County, Smigiel received 3,782 votes to Manlove&#8217;s 3,075, with all precincts in. The arcane voting system for the 36th District sets up contests for delegates residing in Cecil, Kent and Queen Anne’s counties, but residents of all three counties, plus part of Caroline County, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Incumbent Delegate Richard Sossi (R-36) is melting the campaign finances of his Republican primary challenger, Steve Hershey, who features a modified version of the chocolate bar in his campaign signs and ads.  But a last-minute flap over which candidate is endorsed by Robert Ehrlich, the expected Republican candidate for governor, has really heated things up.      Since no Democratic candidate has filed for the Queen Anne&#8217;s County seat in the 36th, the GOP primary will decide that race. (There are three Delegate seats in District 36 and one resident Delegate each from Queen Anne&#8217;s, Kent and Cecil Counties is  elected by voters in those counties, plus half of Caroline County.)    Sossi also had no opposition in the GOP primary until a last minute challenge was filed by Stephen S. Hershey, Jr., of Queenstown. (See previous Cecil Times report on the contest here:  https://ceciltimes.wordpress.com/2010/07/28/36th-delegate-seat-with-gop-friends-like-this-who-needs-democrats/  )    Sossi has been ahead in the campaign fundraising race by a better than 3-to-1 margin but in the final days leading up to the Sept. 14 primary, the contest has taken on a war of words twist.     Hershey recently sent out a four-page flyer, citing his past state employment as a political appointee during the Ehrlich administration in Annapolis. The flyer seemed to suggest [&#8230;]]]></description>
