Around lunch time today, former City Councilman Don Holdren came into City Hall and formally resigned his candidacy for the Third District Seat currently held by Councilman Bruce Morrison. That means it is officially a two person race with the incumbent, Councilman Morrison, facing off against newcomer Angela Hayes.
As I have always said, it is up to the challenger to make the case for change. In this case, I believe Councilman Morrison has worked with me over the past three years to promote positive changes in Pocomoke City. In fact, Councilman Morrison has supported a request by Ms. Hayes in funding a "Ladies and Gentleman Manner's Class" conducted earlier in the past year.
The fact is, Councilman Morrison has spoken with Ms. Hayes, as I have, a number of times and has always supported her efforts. She is a nice and gentle woman, but I do not believe she can make a case for change based upon Councilman Morrison's performance in office.
On another note, Ms. Hayes is a member of the Democratic Central Committee for Worcester County. Our local elections are purposely Non-Partisan. If Ms. Hayes is serious about serving our community in a Non-Partisan office, perhaps she should consider resigning from her current position. Just some food for thought.
