The Spy continues its informal series on profiling candidates running for office in 2022. Over the next eight months, we will be offering long-form interviews with those running for Maryland’s Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller, MD Congressional District 1, State Delegate and Senate, as well as several local elections in Dorchester, Kent, and Talbot Counties.
As per our educational, nonpartisan mission concerning all public affairs on the Mid-Shore, we believe these in-depth conversations offer a unique alternative to the traditional three-minute sound bite or quick quote. We will be talking to each candidate about their background, qualifications, and policy priorities as well as how they differentiate themselves from others running for the same office.
We continue with Barry Glassman, candidate (R) for Comptroller of Maryland. He currently serves as County Executive for Harford County.
This video is approximately 18 minutes in length. For more information about his campaign please go here.
Al Sikes says
It is prudent to have the political party out of power in the Governor’s office occupy the Comptroller’s one. And I understand that Barry Glassman is a good candidate.
Howard Freedlander says
If you understand Maryland political history, Al, you learn that comptrollers of the same party as the governor operate independently, and in so doing, are irritants to governors. The long-serving Comptroller Goldstein was often a thorn in the side of Gov. Harry Hughes and Gov. Schaefer.
Howard Freedlander says
Not necessarily so, Al.The long -serving and well-respected Comptroller Louis Goldstein, a Democrat, often irritated Democratic governors with his independence. He knew the intricacies of state procurement better than most governors and therefore was a powerful force on the Board of Public Works. Maryland political history is fascinating and surprising.
Marie Feldymedy says
Barry’s the right man for the job! MD needs checks and balances like any where else. We can’t go back to the dark tax and spend days !
