MoCo NOW Releases Early Endorsement List
Published: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 7:00 am By: Adam Pagnucco Source: Maryland Politics WatchThe Montgomery County chapter of the National Organization for Women
(NOW) has released its early endorsement
list. Its first picks are:
Maryland
General Assembly
Senate
District 39
Saqib Ali
House
of Delegates
District 14
Eric Luedtke
District
15
Brian Feldman
District 16
Charles Chester
District
18
Dana Beyer
District 19
Jay Hutchins
Montgomery
County Council
At-large
George Leventhal
School Board
District
3
Patricia O’Neill
NOW says, "This is not a final list, and
candidates will be added as they are endorsed." Fair enough. Most
early endorsements are no-brainers, that is, people who are obvious
picks because of their long records of support in and out of office. By
that measure, why are so many of the county's most renowned female
candidates off the list, like former NARAL staffers Cheryl Kagan and
Ariana Kelly? Why was Duchy Trachtenberg, a former President of
Maryland and MoCo NOW, not endorsed? And how about Marc Elrich, who
worked with George Leventhal on the successful 2007 bill
to protect domestic workers?
Wow, NOW.
