As January has now closed, the days are getting longer and the time to throw your hat into the ring of politics for 2022 is getting shorter. 21 days to pull the trigger, so to speak.
While we do have a great stable of candidates coming from our little ol’ organization, there are still quite a few seats that we need candidates for.
We need a Registrar of Wills; Sharon Keller is hanging up her eyeshade and headed to retirement.
On the County Council, we still have openings in District’s 1 & 3,
Dist. 1 basically is the western 1/3 of the county, South of Gambrill State Park. It is a very winnable district. Jerry Donald won with something like 72 votes. Don’t quote me, that’s what I recall.
Dist. 3 is essentially Frederick city proper. Certainly, a tougher race, but, the right messenger with the right message, could definitely turn some heads. Keep it about fiscal responsibility and government overreach, the dark horse could pull it out in the stretch.
Then we come to the Republican Central Committee. There are 9 seats to be had, knowing the frustration with and within the state party, it would be nice to win a Conservative majority. It is doable.
Lastly, this is not an elected seat but, the most important job in the preservation of Justice and Freedom. We are in dire need of Election Judges. If all 60+ polling places are open on primary and election day, we will need 350 election judges. I implore all who can sacrifice a few days, your county, your state, and your country need you.

I’d like to give a few well-deserved kudos. First, to Kira Wynne; last week Kira put on the Human Trafficking 101 seminar with Sheriff Jenkins, George Montgomery, and Michelle Shay. Beyond having a great turnout, the courage to bear one’s soul like that. God bless.
My 2nd shoutout goes to Mason Carter. This young man is working his campaign harder than a sno-cone salesman in Alaska! He’s getting out and meeting farmers and brick & mortar businesses. All while going to school full time and working part-time. Those of you that are doing the same, good job but, make a point to post it on social media. Like it or not, social platforms do get the message out.

As we close in on the anniversary of Rush Limbaugh’s passing, I’ll leave you with this…
“We can take this country back. All we need is to nominate the right candidate. It’s no more complicated than that.” Rush Hudson Limbaugh
Godspeed everyone,
Fred Propheter
