A Formidable Challenger

Last month I wrote a post about the rumor that Bob Flannagan would challenge Courtney Watson for the District 1 County Council seat next year. It is no longer a rumor. Bob has officially tossed his hat into the ring with the launch of this website.

Bob is a formidable challenger for Courtney. District 1, which includes portions of Ellicott City, Elkridge, and Hanover, is a swing district. Prior to Courtney, the seat was held by Republican Chris Merdon. This could turn out to be one of the more interesting contests in the next year’s elections.
