		<description><![CDATA[Bill Coutz won the only contested seat for the Cecil County Council in Tuesday’s general election, scoring a landslide victory over a political newcomer, Cody Kirk. Coutz, a Republican. will take the District 2 seat to replace the retiring Joyce Bowlsbey. All seats on the five-member Council are now held by Republicans. Coutz, who has already been attending Council worksessions since before winning the GOP primary election in June, carried 66 percent of the vote. Coutz has been a sales executive in the shade and lighting industry and vice president of the Fair Hill Races. Kirk, a Democrat who also ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Elkton town council at the same time he was running for a County Council seat, received 34 percent of the vote. Kirk says he “works in retail” after previous employment at a dollar store in Elkton. The retirement of Bowlsbey leaves open the post of President of the County Council, which will be determined by a vote of the full Council when newly elected members are seated in a few weeks. The senior incumbent, George Patchell, who represents District 4, is not expected to seek the position. A contest is expected to come [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Judge William W. Davis, Jr., known locally as “Will” in his work with youth groups and charities to aid troubled children, won election to a 15-year term on the Cecil County Circuit Court bench on Tuesday, as voters confirmed Gov. Larry Hogan’s choice of Davis for an appointment to the bench in 2016. To win election to the seat, Davis defeated two challengers—Edwin B. Fockler IV, an assistant public defender, and former state Delegate Michael D. Smigiel, Sr. All of the candidates were Republicans. But since judicial positions are considered non-partisan, candidates appeared on both the Democratic and Republican primary ballots. Under state law, if one candidate won the Democratic primary while another person won the Republican primary, then those two names would proceed to the general election ballot for voters to make a final choice. But with Davis winning both party primaries, he will appear unopposed on the general election ballot and thus has already won de-facto election to the post. Circuit Court judges serve a 15-year term after being elected by local voters. With all but two precinct tallies completed, in the Republican primary, Davis won 53 percent of the vote. Fockler received 29.1 percent, while Smigiel garnered [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There were some tough questions when rival candidates in the June Republican primary for Cecil County State’s Attorney and the Register of Wills office squared off in a candidates’ forum sponsored by the Republican Club of Cecil County last week, putting some candidates on the defensive hot seat. In contrast, a panel of three candidates vying for a seat on the county’s Circuit Court was uncharacteristically mellow, given one candidate’s past record of attack-dog campaigns. Members of the audience at the event, held at the VFW hall in Chesapeake City, submitted written questions to the moderator, James Dubuque, vice president of the club, who then picked questions to pose to the candidates. STATE’S ATTORNEY: In the race for the open State’s Attorney seat, all three candidates currently work in the prosecutor’s office: Amanda Bessicks, a four-year veteran of the office who currently specializes in prosecuting cases involving crimes against children and domestic violence; 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. In opening statements, Bessicks said she would [&#8230;]]]></description>
