		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Over four months before the filing deadline for 2020 primary elections in Maryland, Cecil County politics are taking an interesting twist, as multiple candidates emerge for County Executive, with the potential for a place-holder trying to scare others out of the race. And veteran County Council President Bob Meffley (R-1) has made it official by filing for re-election. Danielle Hornberger, the wife of state Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35), filed paperwork with the state Board of Elections for a campaign committee, “Friends of Danielle Hornberger,” on 9/4/2019. But she did not file separate paperwork to declare her candidacy for a particular elected office. Mrs. Hornberger, who is a part-time employee of US Rep. Andy Harris (R-1), is a former substitute teacher in southern Maryland and Cecil County. Harris has been a major campaign fundraiser and supporter for her husband’s political endeavors. In addition, Ewing McDowell, a Rising Sun area farm owner, state employee and former state Republican political candidate, is close to filing for County Executive, setting up a potentially crowded political field for the top Cecil County elected office. Incumbent Executive Alan McCarthy, a Republican, has already filed for re-election. [UPDATED} Multiple Cecil County GOP sources have told [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HARRIS CLOBBERS SMIGIEL IN GOP $ Incumbent US Rep. Andy Harris (R-1) has raised some princely sums for his re-election campaign while his challenger in the Republican primary, former state delegate Michael Smigiel, is a relative pauper, according to new filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). As in past elections, Harris’ reports look like the office directory at a major medical center, with donations from political action committees (PACs) associated with medical specialty groups, from radiologists to orthopedists to surgeons. Harris is a physician who practiced anesthesiology at Johns Hopkins Hospital. So a surgeon’s PAC donated $3,500 in two contributions, while orthopedists chipped in another $3,500 and the uniquely named “Brain PAC” thought Harris deserved its $1,000 donation. Overall, for the first six months of this year, Harris reported total contributions from individuals of $271,000, and $144,290 from PACs, for a total raised of $415,370 in new money. He already had a cash on hand balance from previous fundraising of $297,598. So even after campaign expenditures, such as printing expenses, fundraiser events, etc, amounting to $133,563, Harris ended up with a total of $579,620 cash on hand in his campaign warchest.

		<description><![CDATA[A new Cecil County Chamber of Commerce survey of its members found that County Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4) was deemed the most “‘unsatisfactory” commissioner while Commissioner Tari Moore (R-2) had the highest “excellent” ranking. There were 129 respondents to the Chamber survey—an admittedly small sample of the county’s many business operators. But Chamber members tend to be more active and informed on county and state issues. In addition to rankings of the current five-member county Board of Commissioners, the survey also solicited comments on what problems local businesses face in dealing with county government. The strongest negative reaction in the survey came on the question, “Do you think the Cecil County Commissioners, as a group, are supportive of the Office of Economic Development?” That drew a 74.4 percent “NO” response, with comments such as, “I guess this is a prank question” and “They got rid of the head of economic development; Vernon (Thompson) did an excellent job.” A three-member majority of the current Commissioners’ board forced the ouster of Thompson in late August.
