It’s an important election year, with the Governor’s office on the ballot as well as every other state and county elected position, including State legislative offices, County Executive, Council seats, State’s Attorney, Sheriff and Board of Education. It’s an important election and a lot to think about.
That’s where the New Harford Democratic Club comes in.
For the past four years, ever since the last election, your club has been preparing for this year. Seeking potential candidates, studying the issues, preparing positions and establishing a powerful Get Out The Vote campaign for this fall.
During this time we have brought to our meetings experts in various fields who have enlightened us on the important issues. We have had meaningful discussions on the Dream Act, Gay Marriage, Gun Control, and, just recently, The Storm Water Management Fee that has driven the Republicans off the deep end.
We have heard from political experts such as Herb Smith who has written a book on the history of Maryland politics and Larry Gibson who recently released his book on the young Justice Thurgood Marshal. We have had vigorous discussions on recent books about Presidents Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson.
We have had visits from many elected officials and other candidates for public office and presentations from our most politically active members on the how’s and why’s of the political game.
Simply put, membership in the New Harford Democratic Club gives you a lot of bang for the buck. And that’s important for anyone concerned about the future of our state and county. From now to November all of us will be working hard to elect Democrats. We need everyone to help out.
That’s where you come in.
The New Harford Democratic Club is on the front line in this political battle, and your continued membership is important to this effort.

I’ve met Patrick Murray (he knocks on MANY doors) and he seems like a real good candidate).
On the other hand, I have met Morita Bruce (Friends of Harford), and she seems whacked. 🙂
The Money Tree says
Morita Bruce has done an amazing amount of work trying to keep people informed about development and land use decisions that impact our quality of life. I’ve only attended one “friends of harford” meeting and while it seemed pretty “dry” in no way did Morita Bruce or anyone else there at the meeting seem “whacked”. To each thier own…
Justin A. Glimmer says
Let me explain why I used the term “whacked” when I described Morita Bruce. What I should have said is that she is the mouthpiece of a group (Friends of Harford) that I (and many others) think have whacked opinions about development in general. Development isn’t necessarily bad. In fact, most (if not all) reading this message probably live in a house that is IN or is NEAR a development.

First off The New Harford Democratic Club is a shill organization set up only to further the political aspirations of it’s leader. Patrick Murray claims he moved back to his roots, yet he grew up in a different district. Now he shows up bringing all the funding from special interest groups and settles on a residence just before the filing deadline. Whats wrong with the Democrats in this county? None of them seem to know where they live.
