Notes and Observations in District 16

By Marc Korman.

The race for District 16 is heating up with 13 candidates and 100 degree temperatures. Here are a few random notes and observations from the front, combined with some free advice to the candidates.

For those not living and breathing the race, the 13 candidates are: Incumbents Bill Frick; and Susan Lee; Attorney and former District 19 Democratic Club Officer John Adams; Attorney and repeat candidate Charlie Chester; Attorney Peter Dennis, also the son of Civic Federation President Peggy Dennis; Town of Somerset Councilman Bill Farley; Real estate management business owner and Montgomery County Young Democrats President Scott Goldberg; Attorney Craig Herskowitz; Attorney and health policy strategist Hrant Jamgochian; Former NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland Executive Director and MomsRising’s Director for Environmental and Workplace issues Ariana Kelly; Former Obama campaign staffer Kyle Lierman, also the son of local political bigwig Terry Lierman; Common Cause Board Member Michael Sriqui; And attorney and former Housing Opportunities Commission Chair Mark Winston. Whoa, that’s a lot of candidates.

The District 16 Democratic Club hosted a forum for all of the Delegate candidates at the Bethesda Library last week. Twelve of the candidates, including the two incumbents, attended. Craig Herskowitz was out of town for work but had a statement read.

The consensus among the individuals I spoke to were that the big winners were the two incumbents, Bill Frick and Susan Lee, and challenger Scott Goldberg. Other candidates had high points, but these three were consistently great. Frick and Lee were essentially endorsed by all of the other challengers during a question about what legislator you would like to emulate, cementing the impression that the 11 challengers are fighting for one open seat. Goldberg’s one two punch of strong and humorous delivery plus real policy proposals stood out even to those in the capacity crowd supporting other challengers. The funniest moment of the debate belonged to the moderator, who gave the field a grand total of 15 seconds to explain how they would solve the budget deficit.

The Bethesda-Chevy Chase Breakfast Club is also working its way through the challengers. The first installment featured Bill Farley, Craig Herskowitz, Ariana Kelly, and Kyle Lierman. Also in attendance was District 18 Challenger Dana Beyer. The moderator was kind enough to grant the candidates a grand total of 30 seconds to explain their approach to the budget.

Herskowitz has staked his campaign on speed cameras and constituent service, pretty much declining to comment on other issues and referring individuals to his website. Although no one loves the speed cameras, my own view is that he cannot mount a successful campaign in a crowded field on these narrow issues alone and should talk about some of his other ideas along with these passions.

Kelly and Lierman seem to view the race as between them, at least when they appear together. That thinking is understandable given that MPW and others have consistently cited them as the frontrunners. They both have a strong ground game and the resources to win. But I would just remind them that a race with two perceived frontrunners often creates opportunities for Trojan horse candidates (Just ask Howard Dean and Dick Gephardt about Iowa in 2004). With so many candidates in the field, there are plenty of places for voters to turn besides Lierman or Kelly.

Bill Farley is a Town of Somerset Councilmember, making him the only challenger with elected office experience and giving him a stronghold in one of the top performing precincts in the primary. I have no idea if he is working the doors or has money for mail, but he has a good candidate profile. However I am not sure what his message is and his approach to the Purple Line should also be explained. He supports starting over with some type of trench or cut and cover approach. That is an unrealistic option at this stage and in practical terms means Farley opposes the Purple Line.

If you care about the lawn sign primary, which does not win elections but is fun for bloggers, Lierman, Jamgochian, and the incumbent team have a strong start in Bethesda with a sprinkling of other candidates as well. I have not been to the northern or western portions of the district lately to see the signs there. So far the only mass mail I have received is from Mark Winston and Michael Sriqui.

Based on my conversations and impressions in the district, candidates are distinguishing themselves in many ways. Hrant Jamgochian is impressing people with his smarts, nice guy approach, and health care background. Winston is picking up what I view as strong endorsements including Ike Leggett’s and the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce. Many long time District 16 residents I speak with think highly of Charlie Chester and his experience.

My advice to the candidates? Keep knocking on doors and stay hydrated.

Primaries to Watch IV, Part Three

By Marc Korman and Adam Pagnucco.

Here are races Six and Five!

6. District 16 Open Seat
Previous Rank: #7

Marc
Chaos is the order of the day in District 16. There are thirteen candidates vying for three Delegate seats. Perhaps that should not be a surprise since eleven ran for one seat in 2007 when Delegate Frick was appointed. It is an odd race. One of the incumbents has never run before, one of the challengers has run five times, and the district has little to drive turnout at the top of the ticket.

Obama campaign staffer Kyle Lierman, business owner and Montgomery County Young Democrats President Scott Goldberg, and former NARAL Executive Director Ariana Kelly have been the most active thus far. But Mark Winston is coming out strong with Ike Leggett’s endorsement and Hrant Jamgochian has been carpet bombing the district with signs and campaign frisbees.

Bill Frick and Susan Lee have been canvassing with teammate Brian Frosh and few have anything bad to say about them. Frosh has really stepped up for Frick and Lee, spending lots of time door knocking despite not having a primary and being the heavy favorite in November. Most people think the real fight is for the third Delegate slot. With a race this crowded with a low turnout, it could be anyone’s for the taking.

A fun little note is that one of the three Republicans waiting in the general will be Prince Arora, who ran as a Democrat for the appointment in 2007.

Full disclosure, I am a member of the Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee from District 16 and have supported Bill Frick.

Adam
There are too many candidates in this race. Most of them will get lost in the shuffle and District 16 residents will learn to get very acquainted with throwing out mailers. This greatly helps incumbents Susan Lee and Bill Frick, who should win solidly by racking up institutional support and cash and running with Senator Brian Frosh.

So for the challengers, how do you stand out? There are usually two ways to do so: endorsements and money. Ariana Kelly is the early endorsement leader, collecting support from MCEA, NARAL, NOW and SEIU. There could be more to come. Kyle Lierman will rely on his famous last name and his Obama connections to raise great heaping gobs of cash. Kelly is the only female Democratic candidate other than Lee and Lierman’s campaign experience is unparalleled. All of these factors make these two stand out.

The others are all white males who will probably wind up agreeing on most issues. As the deluge of literature begins to swamp mailboxes, voters will have a hard time telling them apart. These candidates must figure out a way to break out from the pack. Could it be Mark Winston, who was endorsed by Ike Leggett? Could it be Young Dems leader Scott Goldberg? Could it be someone else? Or will this be a Kelly-Lierman race? It’s too early to tell.

5. District 14 State Senate Challenge
Previous Rank: #5

Marc
Karen Montgomery is knocking on doors and talking about progressive issues. Rona Kramer has slated up with incumbent Delegate Anne Kaiser, and Delegate candidates Craig Zucker and Bo Newsome and is talking about Montgomery missing the 2007 Special Session. Absenteeism is an old, effective campaign favorite and Kramer will make a big deal out of it. Both candidates are out working but given Kramer’s money this is a real uphill climb for Montgomery. Progressives are happy to have a champion talking about issues such as the death penalty, but it may not be enough against the entrenched Kramer.

Adam
Jamie Raskin toppled Ida Ruben in 2006 in part by tapping into a wave of progressive activism in Silver Spring and Takoma Park. One of the questions in this cycle has been where those progressives would wind up. A school of thought held that many of them would head up US-29, New Hampshire Avenue and Georgia Avenue to help a credible liberal defeat Rona Kramer. So where are they?

This race is behaving rather predictably so far. Montgomery is racking up endorsements from unions and environmentalists. Kramer has assembled a slate for self-defense and will soon be spending lots of money on mail. If Montgomery’s endorsements are accompanied by real live boots on the ground, she has a chance. Otherwise, Kramer is going to win.

More tomorrow!

District 16’s Town Hall, Part Two: The Update Continues

By Marc Korman.

In Part Two we will take a look at Delegate Frick and Senator Frosh’s comments about the 2010 legislative session at the District 16 town hall.

Delegate Bill Frick

Delegate Frick discussed the work of his committee, Ways and Means, during the session. Ways and Means primary area of jurisdiction is taxes and with those essentially off the table in 2010, Delegate Frick said he expected a somewhat quiet session in committee. Despite his expectations, the Committee was very busy.

The effort to increase the state’s alcohol taxes, HB 832, to dedicate funds to substance abuse and developmental disabilities received a big push in 2010. Delegate Bronrott has long championed the bill but will not be in the legislature to see it passed. Frick supported the legislation and will push it again in the future.

Ways and Means was also busy with several education related bills. The Safe Schools Act was an initiative of the Speaker’s to encourage better information sharing to promote intervention into the lives of students heading into gangs, as opposed to just penalizing those already involved. The Education Reform Act is part of an almost nationwide effort to position states to compete for the “Race to the Top” education grant program. Although the Washington Post has given this bill a hard time, it makes several meaningful reforms including rewarding teachers for taking on tougher tasks, adding a year before teachers can earn tenure status, and replicating Montgomery County’s heralded mentoring program for struggling teachers around the state. Montgomery County also received a one year maintenance of effort waiver, basically undoing a penalty assessed by the state Board of Education, but longer term reform did not pass.

Frick then shifted to some of his own bills from the session. HB 1206 put in stiff disclosure requirements for Tax Refund Anticipation Loans. These are loans provided to individuals expecting a tax refund that fronts them the cash. The loans are troubling because IRS refunds come relatively quickly so they are somewhat unnecessary and there is zero risk to the lender, so the interest rate/payment structure should be much lower than it is. HB 1325 would have steered the state government’s banking and financial services business towards local banks, as opposed to those based on Wall Street. This is a great idea I am surprised is not already law. Surprisingly, the local banks were not comfortable with the change so more work will need to be done before this can become law.

One of the questioners asked was about Northrop Grumman and Maryland’s failure to attract the company. Frick said the details of the package Maryland offered were kept confidential, so competitors did not know the details, but he was assured it was an aggressive offer. We will probably never know for sure. Frick also personally lobbied a Northrop Grumman board member who confided that the company wanted to be close to where their jets parked. By that the board member meant being close to Dulles Airport where private aircraft can land. My own view is that Northrop Grumman was always going to relocate to be next to their biggest customer, the Pentagon, and we never had a chance. That’s not to say we should not work harder to attract businesses.

Senator Brian Frosh

At these town halls, Senator Frosh plays the emcee in introducing his colleagues and fielding most of the questions, so his comments tend to be a little shorter. He focused on the Judicial Proceedings Committee he chairs and the environment.

The Judicial Proceedings Committee passed several good and important bills this year. When the financial crisis began, Maryland had some of the worst foreclosure laws in the country. A major action in 2009 was extending the length of foreclosures so parties would have more time to work them out and, failing that, find alternative housing. HB 472 promotes one method of working out a foreclosure, mediation. The General Assembly also passed a medical False Claims Act, which I highlighted previously. Senator Frosh reminded me that the federal government actually promoted passage of state False Claims Acts by offering an increased award for any Medicaid fraud a state law uncovers, making what was already a great bill even better.

The General Assembly also passed sex offender laws which have gotten substantial media coverage. These bills increase penalties and extend the length of supervision and/or registration. Senator Frosh explained these bills in a bit more detail when he was questioned on them, explaining that he preferred the supervision/registry bills to just passing tougher mandatory minimum sentences because, surprisingly, no prosecutor has asked for the toughest sentence already allowed on the books, let alone one higher. Legislation was also passed to increase the child support guidelines, which affect 500,000 Maryland children who are current beneficiaries. The current numbers, not pegged to inflation, date from 1989. Finally, Frosh was praised by a member of the audience from the Fraternal Order of Police for helping to pass legislation on collective bargaining and arbitration for law enforcement.

On the environment, Frosh successfully steered through a ban on BPA in children’s bottles and cups, which I also previously discussed. Frosh also spent a good deal of time on legislation to improve the health of oysters in the Chesapeake Bay. The state pays for oyster sanctuaries to try and rebuild the oyster population, while allowing watermen to harvest from non-sanctuary areas if they are licensed and follow all the catch limits. Unfortunately, some have been caught harvesting from sanctuaries and received only a slap on the wrist. Frosh proposed that violators have their licenses permanently revoked instead. The legislation made some progress before an amendment was added limiting the state’s ability to add more oyster sanctuaries.

Next time, we will look at some of the other people in the room besides the sitting legislators.

Primaries to Watch III, Part Two

By Marc Korman and Adam Pagnucco.

Here are races Eight and Seven!

8. District 14 Delegate Open Seats
Prior Rank: #6

Marc
The incumbents in District 14 do not lack for ambition as demonstrated by Herman Taylor’s quixotic run for Congress and Karen Montgomery’s decision to take on Rona Kramer (more on that later). Their decisions create two open seats.

Craig Zucker appears to be close to a sure thing for one of them. He has been running for eight years, has raised lots of money, and appears to have broad support. A second opening upsets his apple cart because folks who ruled out fighting him for one open seat are taking a second look.

The most public candidate thus far is teacher, occasional MPW guest blogger, and activist Eric Luedtke. We last saw Luedtke at the end of 2009 when he pulled the plug on a challenge to Kramer before it really started. What made him an attractive candidate then still holds true and he has the benefit of not challenging a self financing incumbent. Others will likely get into the race. As I have written before, the desire for a candidate that brings more diversity to District 14 is strong.

Full disclosure, I donated to Eric Luedtke.

Adam
Two open seats and two credible candidates. Yawn… I have nothing more to say about Craig “Lock” Zucker since he reported more than $50,000 in the bank before even formally starting his campaign. MCEA Board Member Luedtke will work hard and get lots of progressive backing for the other seat. Even though this district has the largest concentration of African Americans in the county along the US-29 corridor, I am hearing nothing to indicate that any candidate of color is getting in yet. Can someone wake me up if there’s another credible candidate of any kind?

The only interesting thing about this Delegate race is how it will interplay with the Senate race. I could see Zucker and Delegate Anne Kaiser supporting incumbent Rona Kramer and Luedtke supporting challenger Karen Montgomery. Or maybe not. Come on, people, give us something spicy to write about! Don’t make Saqib Ali do all the work!

7. District 16 Delegate Open Seat
Prior Rank: #8 as “Oldak vs. District 16”

Marc
Bill Bronrott’s resignation creates the fifth legislative vacancy in Montgomery County during this term. All indications are that the Central Committee will appoint a caretaker (that is certainly how my vote will be cast) and will let candidates for a four year term run without an incumbent in the fall.

It looks like two of the bigger name candidates, Reggie Oldak and Don Mooers, are taking a pass. But lots of hats are already in the ring including 2006 District 18 candidate Dan Farrington, Montgomery County Young Democrats president Scott Goldberg, Obama campaign guru Kyle Lierman, and possibly many others including Lise Van Susteren.

Another wrinkle in District 16 is that Bill Frick faces the same problem as Kirill Reznik in District 39: he will be before the voters for the first time. Frick has had strong fundraising and worked the district hard over the past three years, but he will have to work much harder than had all three incumbents run together.

Full disclosure, I am a Montgomery County Democratic Central Committeemember from District 16, cast a vote to appoint Bill Frick in 2007, and have donated to him.

Adam
Oldak’s decision not to get in deprives this contest of a top-tier challenger with a record of getting D16 votes. She received the Post endorsement last time and almost knocked off long-time incumbent Marilyn Goldwater, whose retirement created the opening for Frick. Now we have to look at everyone else.

The early favorite is Dan Farrington, who ran a great race in District 18 in 2006. Farrington received the Post and Gazette endorsements but lost narrowly to Jeff Waldstreicher, who had the Apple Ballot, for the open Delegate seat. The two were the hardest-working candidates in a good field and Farrington raised FAR more non-self-financed money than anyone else. I found Farrington to be so impressive that I sent him a $100 check immediately after seeing him at a campaign coffee that year. One problem he has is his opposition to the Purple Line’s proposed rail alignment, a position that helped him finish second in the Chevy Chase precincts but will not be so helpful in Bethesda. Still, if Farrington goes into high gear, the other candidates will have to bust their behinds to keep up.

As for the incumbents, Bill “Stud of the Statehouse” Frick will finish first and Susan Lee will finish second. Don’t prove me wrong, Bill!

We’ll have races Six and Five tomorrow.

Delegate Bill Frick's End of Session Letter

Delegate Bill Frick (D-16) sent the following end of session letter to his constituents.

Dear Friends,

At the stroke of midnight on Monday night, the Maryland House of Delegates concluded its 2010 legislative session. Here is an update how the legislature resolved some of the top issues of the session.

Balancing the Budget

The Governor and General Assembly faced a harsh budget reality caused by the national recession: state resources have declined, even as demand for social services has increased. In the end, the operating budget cuts spending by $525 million, with general fund revenues below 2007 levels. The state workforce is shrinking by 500 positions next year, and we rejected pay raises for the legislature. I will once again do my part by participating in state employee furloughs.

Our budget actions were difficult, but balanced. We have sought to maintain our commitment to education, with $5.7 billion devoted to K-12 students, and $250 million invested in school construction. We are ensuring fiscal responsibility, with nearly $830 million in cash reserves. Maryland remains one of the few states with an "AAA" bond rating.

Job Creation

Governor O’Malley and the General Assembly are trying to help businesses endure the recession and to stimulate job growth and retention whenever possible. To that end, we increased the successful biotech tax credit, which is particularly important to long-term growth in Montgomery County. We passed a law allowing small businesses to pay property taxes in installments to help their cash flow, and enacted legislation to reduce the strain on businesses caused by increasing unemployment insurance rates.

Public Safety

Responding to a recent tragedy, the General Assembly passed legislation to strengthen the state’s child sex offender laws. The new laws will require lifetime supervision for child sex offenders, increase mandatory minimum sentences for first time offenders from five to fifteen years, and eliminate diminution credits for serious and repeat offenders.

Our roads will be safer as a result of the 2010 session. The legislature passed a law that prohibits a driver from using a hand-held cell phone while driving, supplementing legislation passed in 2009 restricting text messaging. The legislation takes effect October 1st and will be considered a secondary offense.

Finally, the Safe Schools Act of 2010, a legislative priority of House Speaker Michael E. Busch, gives the schools systems and law enforcement the tools to keep our students safe from gangs and related gang violence.

The Environment

Stormwater management is critical to controlling the polluted run-off that threatens the health of the Chesapeake Bay, and strict regulations have been adopted to reduce runoff from development. After developers sought legislation to weaken the regulations, a joint House-Senate committee chose to maintain the strict regulations, but clarify that the new rules will not apply to projects that have already begun. This decision will preserve the strong new rules, and was supported by environmental groups, including the League of Conservation Voters and 1000 Friends of Maryland.

My Agenda

I am pleased to report my District 16 colleagues and I were very successful with our initiatives this year. My legislation to provide clear disclosure for tax refund anticipation loans won overwhelming support from both chambers. A bill I authored to help steer state contracts away from Wall Street and into local banks failed to advance, but won praise from leaders and news outlets from Baltimore to Tokyo.

Senator Brian Frosh, Delegates Susan Lee, Bill Bronrott and I won some important victories for our district. We succeeded in passing legislation to preserve the Country Thyme Farm Stand on River Road, a subject that was important to many local produce lovers. We also secured state matching funds for the Jewish Foundation for Group Homes and the National Center for Children and Families, two organizations that help some of our most needy neighbors. Finally, we and our Montgomery County colleagues succeeded in averting a possible penalty of tens of millions of dollars against the Montgomery County Public School System as a result of the County not meeting its "maintenance of effort" funding target. This was County Executive Leggett's top priority for the session.

I have been privileged to serve you in the Maryland House of Delegates, and as we turn toward the 2010 campaign season, I hope you will send me back to Annapolis to continue serving you along with my District 16 teammates.

If you have any concerns or constituent service needs, or to get involved in my re-election campaign, please drop me a line at bill@billfrick.com.

Best regards,

Bill

Frick Endorses Riemer

Delegate Bill Frick (D-16) endorsed at-large County Council challenger Hans Riemer at a Bethesda fundraiser on Sunday, adding to Riemer's growing collection of elected endorsements.


Here is the video of Frick's remarks. Note how he calls Riemer "completely insane" because only a crazy person would want to be on the County Council right now. Next time your author goes before a parole board, Frick will definitely not be writing our testimonial!



Riemer's endorsement list now includes County Council Members Valerie Ervin and Nancy Navarro, Senator Jamie Raskin (D-20), Delegates Tom Hucker and Heather Mizeur (D-20), Delegate Kirill Reznik (D-39) and Frick. Former County Executive Doug Duncan supports Becky Wagner. No elected officials to our knowledge support Jane de Winter. How much does this matter? Maybe not too much, but it demonstrates that Riemer is outworking the other challengers at the moment. Other potential endorsers are watching.

Stud of the Statehouse

We have never seen their like before. They are legion, the faceless fans who swarm into this blog looking for information on the object of their desire. And what is that object? He is the answer to their dreams, owner of their lonely hearts and the undisputed Stud of the Statehouse:

Delegate Bill Frick (D-16).


Let us share a dark secret previously unknown to the anonymous amorous. We know what people look at when they come to this blog. We also know how they arrive here. Nearly one-fifth of our readers come in because they find one of our posts through a search engine, usually Google. And when they search, we know which search terms lead them here.

Here are some of the search terms that have been used to access information on Delegate Frick from this blog.

bill frick
bill frick maryland
“Bill frick”
Delegate Bill Frick
bill frick purple line
bILL Frick + Purple Line
Frick 2007
bill frick issues
bill frick maryland sligo
Bill Frick and election Maryland
bill frick mcdcc


What’s your secret, Bill?

So far this is not unusual. Frick is one of the most-searched politicians on this blog, usually trailing just Saqib Ali, Martin O’Malley, Cheryl Kagan and Eli El, but these terms are not standouts.

Then there are these search terms, all of which have been used to seek information on Frick since August:

Delegate Bill Frick sexy
Delegate Bill Frick hot
Handsome Delegate Bill Frick
Delegate Bill Frick awesome
bill frick smartest
bill frick hot

Now this IS unusual! No other Maryland politician arouses such thoughts in cyberspace. That is because few of them provide arousal of any kind. But the 34-year-old Frick is different. He possesses the silver tongue that enchanted the Central Committee into appointing him to Marilyn Goldwater’s old Delegate seat over better-known contenders in 2007. He possesses one of the best smiles and wittiest patters in Annapolis. And while other politicians fundraise, he seduces supporters into ponying up with such events as his “Politics and Pinot” lush-fest in Bethesda.


I wish I knew how he does it... sigh...

Here are another couple search terms that have been used to access information on Frick:

Democrat Bill Frick holds what political office?
Democrat Bill Frick holds what political office in 2009?

Do you see? Some of his admirers don’t even know what office he holds! Nor do they care.


The Stud holds court.

We pity Frick’s fevered fans. The Delegate is happily married and has two kids who are, predictably, cuter than anyone else’s kids. And so he is not available.

But as any one of the love-struck knows, unattainable dreams can be all the sweeter.
