Hello I saw something very concerning, this week:
The Owner of Eastern Shore Undercover an Internet blog, down here on the shore Earl Campbell gave a donation this week to Wicomico County Executive Julie Giordano.
Now that’s not abnormal, however I have worked in politics for over 10 years 3 different States Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania for 5 Elected officials now.
I have been involved with fundraising efforts as well.
I have never seen an elected official actually receive a campaign check from a donor in their office during the workday and post about it on social media inside a government office.
Until yesterday.
I know during the 5 years I worked in Annapolis if you needed to do something involving campaign issues you did that “off campus” was made very clear you could be brought up on a ethics charge of you were caught doing something like that.
I am enclosing the rules about elected official in Annapolis on campaign activities like receiving money in a State Government office, and it appears to be prohibited by State law.
Wouldn’t that apply as well to local Government officials as well?
I hope this matter is looked into the optics and the ethics on this look very questionable IMO.
Thank You and Respectfully,
Dan McHugh
