Congressional Hopeful Delaney Makes Rounds

Constituents in the sixth district will have an opportunity to hear and address first-time Congressional candidate John Delaney in Rockville Monday.

 

Democrat John Delaney, candidate for Maryland's 6th Congressional District this fall, will host a town hall in Rockville Monday, according to Justice for Students in America.

The political coalition has organized the event.

Constituents are invited to hear and address Delaney from 7-9 p.m. at the Technical Center at in room 136. (See flyer here.)

Delaney will also attend a "Congress Tea and Coffee" event at a constituent's home at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Montgomery Village, according to his website. 

Delaney hopes to defeat incumbent Republican Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett, a rare battle that could turn the GOP seat blue. He outspent his primary opponent, state Sen. Rob Garagiola, 3-1 leading up to this spring, according to The Baltimore Sun, and won by a nearly 2-1 margin.

The political blog Maryland Juice named Delaney the frontrunner in the race Monday, although Republicans have vowed to hold on. Bartlett is in his tenth term and has pursued careers as a professor, research scientist and inventor, small business owner, and farmer, according to his website.

I don’t know if Delaney is ok or not, but one thing’s for sure, if elected he’ll be one of the top three richest elected officials on Capitol Hill.

I am a Democrat and have been for years. I will not vote for John Delaney. I will only vote for a resident of my District 6. Why would Mr.Delaney think he can honestly represent the reisdents of my district? I am under the impression that he only wants to buy a seat in Congress and this election is not about such dishonest actions.

Congratulations to Ms. Cranford, Ms. Peterson and Mr. Dyer on a strong showing. The one issue that IRead More do hope you will consider during your term in office is the request that Ms. Adams had made about a playground in Whetstone Park. There realty does need to be some improvements made there, the old concrete animals are no longer fun to play on. My grandson asks me, “Grandpa, where are the slide and swings?” At least we now have a chance with these three board members.

The voters obviously made the right decision. These three have proven themselves with theirRead More previous activities within the Village. I concur with LenGray's comment above regarding different children's amenities available at Lake Whetstone. If swings and other play equipment were there, it could be used almost year round which a volleyball sand pit has limited use, and I can't even remember the last time I saw someone playing volleyball there. How about some benches for the adults to sit and watch their children play on good old fashioned swings and slides?
