Can Steve Johnson, running for House of Delegates, save Mary D James’s questionable political reputation as she tries a dubious do-over Senate race? Or will James’s defective character drag down Johnson’s character and vote totals in his June political primary?
James’s political campaign was crushed in 2014 by 15 points, in her bid for the State Senate when she ran against Far-Right Republican Conservative Bob Cassilly. James loss was due mainly to her political reputation as an ethically and racially challenged Democrat.
She wanted to ride to victory on her fathers reputation as a common sense moderate State Senator sixty plus years ago. But the Democrats and Independent voters didn’t buy it in 2014.
They didn’t buy it because James is a reactionary political weather vane. And Dems and Indies have not forgot or forgiven James’s for her corrupt shenanigans?
James must have forgot that she wasn’t very popular back in Aberdeen in 2014 where she tried to politically black mail the town government into giving her law firms client ( an upscale CCRC*) an undeserved tax break for the promise to fight for a hotel tax for Harford County.
It was James’s job as elected official to work for the hotel tax. But she misused her elected political position to bargain for the economic gain of the her law firm. This was out and out political corruption.
James also made political enemies with a large number of Southern Harford voters when her chief of staff became involved in a bloody drunken fight in Del. James’s Annapolis office four years ago and then blamed the assault on an imaginary “6 foot two black man”.
James never publicly apologized for the racist drunken incident and it was never clear whether she fired her political aide.
And to add insult to injury Mary D. James’s formidable opponent in her upcoming Democratic primary is her once good friend and hard working Democratic Party work horse Barbara Osborne Kreamer. Elected 5 times in a row to the Harford County Democrat Central Committee (HCDCC) she is the stalwart face of the progressive values of the Harford Democratic party for the past four decades.
Has James got a political chance against Kreamer ?
Who will the Dems pick in their political primary ? The flawed but talented engaged progressive workhorse or the corrupt entitled bored conservative show horse?
Resist the good old boy Democratic political bosses in Annapolis and Aberdeen! Defy the reactionary conservatism and white supremacy of the Harford Republican Trump Party.
