Current Oxford Town Commissioner, James ‘Jimmy’ Jaramillo, has just announced his candidacy in the 2022 election for Talbot County Council.
An Oxford resident since 1997, Jimmy has dedicated much of his life to serving the Oxford community and the Eastern Shore.
“Talbot County has always held a special place in my heart. I am a product of the Talbot County Public School system and began my public service within youth organizations.”
These experiences have developed strong relationships with many locals and community organizations in Talbot County that continue to exist today. Kathi Dulin Duvall, said, “I’ve known Jimmy for several years. It would be fantastic to have his passion, energy, and experience on the Talbot County Council. Be sure and vote for this outstanding young man on June 28th!”
Jimmy has extensive experience in the political arena, including working closely with members of the Eastern Shore Delegation in Annapolis to address public safety issues and the ongoing opioid epidemic that Maryland faces. Additionally, Jimmy was elected Oxford Town Commissioner back in September of 2020 and has been a voice of reason for the residents of Oxford at both town and county council meetings. Since taking office, Commissioner Jaramillo has worked to support economic sustainability and has participated in economic growth projects, within the county, as the Oxford representative on the Talbot Economic Development Commission.
The current 1st Vice Chairwoman of the Maryland Republican Party, Nicole Bennett said, “I have had the pleasure of knowing Jimmy for many years. His track record clearly demonstrates his commitment to values such as public safety, quality education for all, and financial responsibility. These values that Jimmy possesses will help ensure that the unique, cherished character of Talbot County is protected. A vote for Jimmy Jaramillo is a vote for an experienced leader!”
“If elected,” says Jimmy, “I will focus on the issues that matter to my community. I will continue to advocate for Talbot County’s unique way of life by supporting watermen, farmers, and sound economic development projects in Talbot County. I’ve spent the majority of my life as a Talbot County resident. I have a deep understanding and passion for this community that I have had the privilege to call home. I hope to have the honor of serving the citizens of Talbot County in this new role.”
The primary election will take place on June 28th. Jimmy encourages voters to exercise their right to vote on primary day.

I wonder how he feels about the tax cap?

Why does this particular piece read like a paid political ad? How is that in keeping with the role of the Talbot Spy?

Thank you for your question. We believe it is important to provide space on the Spy for those announcing their candidacy for public office and have done so since we began publication in 2009.
