This was a very difficult, but fairly easy decision for me. For those of you in District 5A, my endorsement for this candidate may surprise you, but my endorsement is not just about friendship, but it’s about working with this man for the Last 5 years. Justin Ready is a good young candidate, but experienced in Maryland GOP, he is not just there yet, but his time will come. But there is one man who puts Convictions, Principles, Integrity and Honesty, Friendship and Family above all, and he is a staunch Tea Party Conservative, Dave Wallace the 2nd. He has been there for me not only as a friend and colleague, but there for my during my struggles.
Dave and I have a very deep rooted friendship and if he was running out here in Washington County, I would have devoted my time to running his campaign, in fact, at one point he had asked me if I would be willing to. Unfortunately, with my life having some many things going on at the time, and my assistance to Delegate Shank and others, it made it very difficult for me to make that decision on such short notice. This does not take away for how hard Justin has run his campaign, in fact, Justin has run a very strong campaign and my believe is these two will finish 1 and 2 in the primary. Everyone knows Dave, from his talk show, to his Tea Party Movement, to his involvement with People. There is not a more passionate man about his love for Maryland and his desire to fix the status quo problems in Annapolis and trust me, he would hold them accountable.
All that being said, if Dave were not running for House of Delegates in 5A, my endorsement would have been given to Justin Ready, outside of Dave Wallace, he is the only other clear and viable choice for this seat. What concerns me with Justin is his ties to Ehrlich, a Moderate Republican. Is Justin just another Moderate to fill in, in Annapolis, or will he hold all the values and principles of being a Conservative true to the vest? Either way, you can’t lose with either candidate, but in my mind, Dave’s experience in Politics and knowing the issues, plus being a Supporter of Jim Rutledge who I have endorsed, certainly makes him the MOST viable candidate. Good Luck Dave and hope to see you in Annapolis.
