Democracy for America's goal of encouraging members to run for every level of office has become a reality here in Anne Arundel. Our own DFA/Anne Arundel member Mark Shenton has filed as a candidate from District 30 for the Democratic Central Committee, and has applied for a DFA endorsement. He is the first member of DFA/Anne Arundel to run for elective office, and I salute his decision!

Mark's involvement dates back to the Dean for America days, before DFA was formed, and he has been active in our group contributing to the Leave My Child Alone opt out initiative last fall, the 3rd Congressional District Candidate Forums this spring, and is helping gear up for the upcoming Media Forum. In the coming weeks Mark will launch his website and will be out on the campaign trail at festivals, political events and DFA forums.

After talking with Mark about his campaign, I have provided my personal endorsement because he embodies the DFA ideals of becoming actively involved, not just as an activist but as a leader. After visiting his DFAlink campaign site at www.dfalink.com/campaign.php?id=..., please consider your own personal endorsement. Mark would be happy to discuss his goals and objectives as a member of our county's central committee. You can e-mail Mark through DFALink or call him at (410) 757-8728.
