Mid Maryland Live

This is the county Executive's Monthly visit to Mid Maryland Live where she addresses issues and takes phone calls from citizens.

Craig Wolf is a lifelong public servant with a proven record of delivering results. As a federal prosecutor with the Department of Justice, Craig successfully prosecuted some of the first cases involving online child pornography, oversaw investigations of human trafficking and coordinated some of the first prosecutions under the federal “Deadbeat Dad” statute. He is the Republican Candidate for Attorney General for the State of Maryland.

Sheriff  Chuck Jenkins was born in Frederick County and graduated high school in 1974. After 16 years in the communication satellite industry, he went through Harford County Law Enforcement Academy and in 1990 became employed by the Frederick County Sheriff’s Department. In 1993 Jenkins became a criminal investigator, and according to his bio  that was a very good thing for him, and he was inspired to go on and do a lot of other stuff.

Jenkins’ pet issue is illegal immigration, which boggles the mind. Newsflash: Maryland is not a border state. He is heading the 287G program in cooporation with Federal ICE officials, detaining illegal aliens charged with crimes, for deportation.

We need a change in leadership that will work together to deliver reduced taxes, better infrastructure and roads and responsibly manage future growth. Frederick County is not only where I grew up, it is where my daughters attend public school and my wife has a small business. I am committed to county government providing world class services including public safety, schools and efficient government.

I am running for County Council At-Large so that responsible and pragmatic problem solving can be placed over petty partisanship. I believe this approach to local government can lead to lower taxes, better living, and a more prosperous future for Frederick County families and businesses.

The Republican primary has heated up because of a mailer put our by the state Democrat Party attempting to sway the District 3 Primary. What does it all mean? You had better listen.
