Lollar definitely eyeing Hoyer's congressional seat
We reported on this blog that Charles Lollar, a Republican viewed as a credible political hopeful, might have his sights set on Washington. It turns out that he does. This ran in The Sun this morning:
Charles Lollar has told supporters he plans to form an exploratory committee for a campaign against Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, a longtime Southern Maryland Democrat and House majority leader. In an e-mailed letter sent Wednesday, Lollar said he made the decision after meeting with voters who are concerned about "reckless actions" taken by Congress.
Lollar, chairman of the Republican Central Committee in Charles County, had been considering a gubernatorial run but reportedly might not meet the constitutional standard that candidates must have been registered voters in the state for five years before the general election.
He is seeking donations to raise more than $50,000 to open a headquarters, conduct a poll and build a grass-roots organization. He would face a well-financed Hoyer, who is now serving his 15th term in Congress.

Only one of the most refreshing voices in politics today. I have had the opportunity of hearing hi speak on two separate occasions...given the situation here in Maryland, and the fact that he is ineligible for the Office of Governor the road to Washington D.C. awaits.
There is no-one, no-one I would rather have representing our state in Washington.
If you haven't heard him, and you have the opportunity do your self a favor and seek him out, you will NOT regret it.

Another carpetbagger without much portfolio who seems to be a little too slick - claiming he signed a voter registration card when he first moved to Maryland just a few years ago, when his signature sits firmly next to a date (in his handwriting) that didn't match his first promise to voters that he was hoping to impress.
No wonder Republicans are putting their faith in him.

Mr. Lollar will be a welcome replacement to Mr. Stenny Pelosi-Hoyer. I hope he can get more exposure because he is a great spokesman for a true conservative agenda.
