ENDORSEMENT: Erik Lofstad for Baltimore County Council

Erik Lofstad for Baltimore County Council

What you see is what you get with Erik Lofstad in his run for Baltimore County Council. There’s no smoke & mirrors with this guy – take one look at his campaign pages and you’ll see that he is quick to let you know exactly who he is, what he is all about, and what he promises he will do for Baltimore County. He’s a liberty man of integrity, honesty, and transparency.

Erik has done a tremendous job of making all of his plans for the county and his assessment of the happenings of the area as abundantly clear as possible for anyone who takes a moment to check out his noteworthy online media presence throughout the course of his campaign. He’s not afraid to call out where others fall short, and he’s quick to not just tell us, but to actually show us, what sets him apart. See his social media posts, multiple interviews, emphasis on diligent public representation rather than the ‘politics’ of it all, and it’s abundantly clear he knows how to lead – by example, rather than by mere proclamation.

In my experience with Erik and his lovely wife Deana, these two are truly a class act. Talk with Erik and you’ll learn how fervently he is committed to his community here in Baltimore County. See him doing door-to-door in the pouring rain to share his vision with his neighbors; read his insights about other candidates making their campaigns all about pandering and bleeding the pockets of the constituency. Erik is as down-to-earth, pragmatic, and sharp as they come, and he’ll make a tremendous difference on the Baltimore County Council.

ENDORSEMENT: Ed Hale Jr. for Baltimore County Council

Ed Hale Jr. for Baltimore County Council

One of the very first things that spoke to me about Ed Hale is his candor – he has done an exemplary job of making his plans for the county and his assessment of the happenings of the area with regard to overspending and misspending as abundantly clear as possible for anyone who takes a moment to check out his noteworthy online media presence throughout the course of his campaign.

He shares with you and I his personal experiences, good and bad, in brief vignettes, ultimately demonstrating how his experiences in business and life have shaped his understanding of business and the community’s needs – and you come to understand that Ed himself is in this for the right reasons.

Ed also understands the shortcomings of a career politician, and why he’s a necessary change on the Baltimore County Council. He’s not afraid to call out where others fall short, and he’s quick to not just tell us, but to actually show us, what sets him apart. Foremost is his accessibility to the community: see his social media posts, multiple interviews & endorsements, emphasis on diligent public representation rather than the ‘politics’ of it all. I, personally, have always been a tremendous advocate of term limits, and Ed Hale Jr. draws attention to the relevance of the need for term limits.

If you don’t already know him, look him up, and you’ll see it is abundantly clear that he knows how to lead – by example, rather than by mere proclamation. His leadership in business ownership, his insight into community concerns, and a drive to bring much-needed efficacy to the seat of public representation he is seeking: these are the reasons Ed Hale Jr. has my vote for Baltimore County Council in District 3.

ENDORSEMENT: Joe Norman for Maryland State Delegate

Joe Norman for Maryland State Delegate

Maryland’s 8th Legislative District will do well to pay close attention to Joe Norman this campaign season. In Delegate Christian Miele’s own words, Joe is a “family man, successful small business owner, and a proven leader” in Baltimore County. Not only that, but Joe refers to himself as one of the “average Joe’s” that Annapolis needs in order to keep representation of our communities in perspective, and I couldn’t agree more. The last thing we need are more ‘career politicians’ representing us while gradually, year after year, drifting further and further away from us and our neighbors.

Joe’s not only working to support his own drive to representation of the community in the Maryland State Legislature – he’s also got a packed schedule of events around town in support of many other great candidates who are working collaboratively to keep a tight-knit Baltimore County moving in the right direction. Joe is a down-to-earth class act with the right firsthand tools to get the job done. If you aren’t familiar with him, and you’re voting in Baltimore County, you owe it to yourself to get familiar with him. It’s no wonder he’s getting endorsements everywhere – Joe is working diligently to keep our community connected, vibrant, and moving in the right direction. Check out his campaign scheduled appearances for the duration of the season and the many folks with whom he is collaborating in the interests of Baltimore County.

ENDORSEMENT: Liz Matory for Congress

Liz Matory for Congress

Liz is the one and only candidate I can name who’s blatantly upfront about her sharp right turn from the world of the progressive left-wing arena of politics & public representation to her ‘rebirth’ as a Republican – she’s a powerhouse of information, firsthand experience, and eloquent truth.

Her book, “Born Again Republican,” offers an honest, blow-by-blow dissection of where the Left schemes & deceives, and she gives us tremendous insight as to happenings she’s discovered behind-the-scenes throughout her life, from her Washington DC upbringing to the life she proudly lives today as a conservative.

I could sing Liz Matory’s praises all day, but I find that through an incredibly strong social media presence daily, Liz eloquently but powerfully sums up the reality of politics in public representation: “Many Americans do not know the real truth about the two parties. They only believe what they’ve been told. I was just like that...until I learned the truth. It’s crystal clear now. In order for our country to survive, we must go back to our roots in the Republican Party and champion our shared conservative principles: Faith, Family, Freedoms, & Free Enterprise. It’s the only way out. Whether its criminal, immigration, [or] economic, our politicians continue to demolish our constitutional principles and degraded America herself.”

If you’re like me and you’re desperate for public representation that doesn’t aim to pull the wool over your eyes and feed you false narratives as a citizen of this great county, state, and nation – then you owe it to yourself to follow Liz and take heed to her wise words. She won’t steer you wrong, and she’s made a proud life of truthful conviction for the community she serves.

ENDORSEMENT: Tammy Larkin for Maryland State Delegate

Tammy Larkin for Maryland State Delegate

Tammy Larkin is no novice to the realm of politics & public representation. I’ve been following her since she announced her candidacy at a meeting of Club Conservative, but I’ve learned that she has been an integral part of Women for Ehrlich, that she founded Conservative Women for Maryland, was a founding member of Club Conservative, was District Director for State Senator JB Jennings, and worked on the Change Maryland campaign leading to Larry Hogan’s election as Governor of Maryland – so she’s been a staple for many years on the scene.

What has stood out to me most, however, are her postings online about the importance of taking a hands-on approach to politics and public representation at the very local level, and I see her instilling that in her children as well. To me, that speaks volumes about her commitment to public representation.

It seems to me that you’ll be hard-pressed to NOT run into her in the White Marsh area given how busy she’s been this campaign season all over the area. Take one look at her strong social media presence and everywhere she’s been, notice the relentless, continuous door-knocking in her district (which is a critical key to running local and state-level races), and you can bet people will be turning out to the voting booths to elect Tammy to representative office.

ENDORSEMENT: Deb Sullivan for Baltimore County Council

Deb Sullivan for Baltimore County Council

If you’ve lived in Baltimore County and raised kids here, there’s a good chance you know Deb Sullivan, a current candidate for Baltimore County Council, this election season. If you’ve been up and down Martin Blvd., you’ve undoubtedly seen her campaign signs on nearly every local business in the area.

You may know her and her husband Wayne from their third-generation family-owned business based in Essex, or you know Deb through years of volunteer service in the community – from her years as PTA president in her children’s schools, to her work at a plethora of community events over the years where she has advocated for a safer Baltimore County.

Being an advocate & proponent of the recovery community myself, I am impressed that she’s been involved in multiple community efforts against substance abuse, which speaks loudly to her dedication to the problems Maryland is facing today concerning our overwhelming opioid epidemic.

She has lobbied and testified in Annapolis over other many other concerns in the community over the years, proving she has significant experience in local representation on behalf of our Baltimore County community. She is no stranger to public representation.

If elected, I feel that Deb Sullivan would be a tremendous asset to the people of Baltimore County.

Thank you in advance.

April 2017: Endorsements for Local & State Races Upcoming

April 28 at 10:31pm · 
via facebook.com/ElectJoeSandy

Friends,

When I halted my political campaign for State Delegate back in February, I took a big step back from 'the scene' in the interim. I did so in lieu of a number of personal matters - regarding friends, a family member, and myself. I don't regret that decision. But it's important to me that you understand I have not pulled away from politics, nor do I plan to pull away from the world of local public representation.

The fact is that I needed to get some matters in order, and that I am ever mindful of the next few years. I am blessed and SO INCREDIBLY fortunate, sitting here this Saturday night with my little family, knowing that BIG things are in store! More to follow, of course.

For now, I am endorsing MY personal favorites for public representation, those who I know are right for the job, and who I support wholeheartedly.

 I hope that, come 2022, when I am seeking a position in the Maryland State Legislature, that they'll give me consideration.

I believe that I am a prime example of what a concerned citizen, a man of the people, and a well-rounded, open-minded, and liberty-first citizen of our great United States looks like - and that I have the honesty, fortitude, and best interests of the constituency in whole at heart.

I hope you'll get to know me. I hope we'll see one another at benefits and events for our mutually-supported candidates for public office. I hope that you'll stand beside me when I launch my campaign for public office in a few years. I hope that you will hold me accountable and ask the questions that you want to ask, because more than one of you are going to have some curiosity, and I am an open book, and always have been, so I hope you'll be willing to 'go there' and talk to me.

Most importantly, I hope you'll call me your friend.

Be blessed - I know, beyond all, that I certainly am.

In Liberty, always,
Joseph Sandy
