Frederick County Teacher's Union Issues Endorsements

From the Gazette:

The Frederick County Teachers Association is endorsing five candidates for the Board of County Commissioners � only one of whom is a current commissioner.

Three of the incumbents seeking re-election failed to make the association�s list.

Pending approval Wednesday night, after The Gazette's press time, from 58 percent of its members, the association will endorse candidates Richard Floyd (D), David Gray (R), Kai Hagen (D), Charles Jenkins (R) and current Commissioner Jan H. Gardner (D).

Bad news for the three Republican incumbents, Lennie Thompson, John Lovell, and Mike Cady -- who happens to be the county commissioners' liaison to the school board. Lovell and Cady have had an especially hard time, since they are widely seen as being in the pocket of developers.

Speaking of Frederick County, here's an interesting development: Apparently, state Sen. Alex Mooney's leading primary challenger is now endorsing the Democrat in the race, Candy Greenway (who was also endorsed by FCTA, by the way). There's a definite anti-incumbent mood this year, and it appears to be at work even at the local level.
