You obviously haven't heard her speak. She has a real grasp of the issues and concerns in 9A and statewide. Maryann is a progressive but independent thinker...not one to vote strictly with the party line. She brings creative and common-sense solutions to problems which have bogged down the state for years. <br /><br />Re her fundraising - the Feb 2010 reports were very early days and it seems reasonable to have support from one's family. As of this posting her base has broadened significantly and funds come from Howard County. I encourage you to look at the current numbers. She's a professional, a mother of two and her many endorsements give me additional confidence in her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-75013182596100391832010-02-02T17:40:22.552-05:002010-02-02T17:40:22.552-05:00Tom, I don't think it is a sin.Tom, I don't think it is a sin.hocobloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990199720123836170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-19092554382964201742010-02-02T17:15:50.220-05:002010-02-02T17:15:50.220-05:009A should be a split district with one dem and one...9A should be a split district with one dem and one rep. This will make for an interesting election for those of us in 9A. So she comes from a wealthy family willing to get her going in politics.

I do share some concerns about money coming from outside the district - but not a lot of concern.<br /><br />What I am curious about is why the contributions from Florida and Candada were also wired from a Dominican Rep. Bank.<br /><br />Also, if $20K were raised by her family (out of state/country), and $5,200 from Maryland that means about another $15K came from outside of the state/district.hocobloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990199720123836170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-34292697968861332112010-02-02T00:25:23.585-05:002010-02-02T00:25:23.585-05:00Other than being cute, what does she offer to the ...Other than being cute, what does she offer to the voters in the district? The incumbents are 2 of the few soldiers against the O'Malley tax and spend machine. If elected, does she plan to support a continuation of the one-party rule in MD and more taxes and regulation on the voters of District 9?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-46081825036322624612010-02-01T22:45:32.922-05:002010-02-01T22:45:32.922-05:00Interesting how this candidate, Maryann Maher, has...Interesting how this candidate, Maryann Maher, has collected 89% of her campaign donations from places other than Howard County. Nearly $35,000 of her campaign donations come from outside of Maryland and out of the country. <br />Ms. Maher should be running for office in Florida or Puerto Rico, because that is where her donor base resides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-78692935825796886632010-02-01T18:48:30.314-05:002010-02-01T18:48:30.314-05:00Seems kind of strange that half her funding came f...Seems kind of strange that half her funding came from relatives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
