CHEVY CHASE - Kyle Lierman's campaign for Delegate got underway today at a local house party in Chevy Chase. Over 60 supporters and interested voters were in attendance to hear Mr. Lierman's plan for action.
Mr. Lierman, a Democrat competing for the vacancy formerly held by Bill Bronrott who moved to the Department of Transportation, called for new ideas and bold action in Annapolis. "Governor O'Malley has done a great job under challenging circumstances, but he needs more leadership to get things done in Annapolis. I will work night and day to organize around progressive ideals to keep Montgomery County and Maryland at the forefront of the best places to live in America," Mr. Lierman said.
"This campaign is about bringing a fresh perspective and new ideas to our local communities. I will work with our leaders to facilitate investment in our future, our education system, our clean energy economy and our transportation infrastructure," Mr. Lierman stated.
Supporters, including Montgomery County Councilmember Duchy Trachtenberg (At-Large), identified Mr. Lierman's history of activism for progressive campaigns and causes as reasons he will make an effective legislator. "Kyle volunteered for Gov. O'Malley in 2006, organized volunteers throughout the country, including Montgomery County, for President Obama's campaign and recently returned from a volunteer trip to Haiti. He represents the kind action-oriented leadership from our younger generation we need to tackle the challenges of the 21st century,” Ms. Trachtenberg said. “Kyle’s thoughtful manner and generous heart speak to a policy debate long over-due in Annapolis and just the kind of leadership that will bring about meaningful political change,” Ms. Trachtenberg continued.
The event, hosted by Lucy Freeman and Susan Byrnes, was an informational meet-and-greet brunch open to the public.
Kyle Lierman is a Bethesda native who attended Montgomery County public schools. Kyle Lierman is committed to progressive ideals and causes, having worked in Senator Ted Kennedy's education office, Senator Biden's presidential campaign and organizing on President Obama's campaign in 2008. Kyle is a graduate of George Washington University, holding a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration.

Both the candidate and his endorser are fine people. But we have 9 council members and 24 delegates and 8 senators. And a number of people who are running for office. It seems to me that if MPW posts every time one office holder endorses another office holder or another would-be office holder, there are going to be thousands of endorsements to read about. I wish that MPW would write about the issues in the county more and less about endorsements.
Actually, Robin, MPW provides a very useful service in Montgomery County Politics. It serves as the unofficial clearighouse and as the de-facto record for all political news.
Sure some of these stories may be pretty minor news. But since the Post and Gazette simply don't cover our politics with such granularity, this is where I come to read about what's going on. There is simply no other way I would have found out about many of these (admittedly minor) endorsements.

I concede the point to Senator Ali who is the greatest!
