Beyer, Carr and Ramirez are Running

Dana Beyer, MD and Al Carr, who both ran for vacancy in 2005 and in the 2006 primary are running for the vacancy caused by the death last week of Jane Lawton. Also running is Oscar Ramirez, who is on the Democratic Central Committee. Beyer finished fifth and Carr finished seventh in 2006. This is Ramirez's first run for Delegate.

Beyer is currently a Healthcare staffer for County Councilwoman Duchy Trachtenberg. Carr is a Kensington Town Councilman. Ramirez is the legislative director for Texas Congressman, Al Green.

Among the other rumored candidates are Central Committee Members Vic Weissberg and Alan Banov and our blog-father here at MPW, David Lublin. If any of our readers are considering their candidacy why not post a comment.
