The event, sponsored by the Talbot County Democratic Forum, is free, and drinks and snacks will be provided.
Franchot, a lawyer, served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1987-2007, and has been Comptroller since 2007. He is an independent voice and fiscal watchdog for the taxpayers of Maryland, and is well-known among various Eastern Shore constituencies, and is running for re-election for his third term.
Franchot has endorsed Congressional District One candidate Bill Tilghman, State Senate 37 candidate Chris Robinson, and State Delegate 37B candidate Keasha Haythe. Also attending will be Talbot County Council candidates Hilary Spence and Eric Lowery, among others.
The Democratic Headquarters opened to the public June 23, and is open Monday-Friday from 11-5 and Saturday from 11-3.
The Talbot County Democratic Forum seeks to provide a forum in which concerned citizens may meet to exchange views and develop positions on contemporary political and social issues, and to encourage all citizens to participate in the political process at local, state, and national levels, and to be an effective voice for the Democratic Party at all levels of governance.
