Cardin Fundraisers

The MoCo excerpt in today’s Post indicates that D20 Sen. Ida Ruben and Del. Sheila Hixson are sponsoring a fundraiser for Rep. Cardin’s Senate campaign. National Journal rates the race as leaning Democratic, but calls the candidates “underwhelming.”

And in Harford, the county council will soon choose from a number of candidates from both parties to take over as county executive. The former executive left recently to become the head of the Maryland Environmental Service.
