Steny Hoyer’s* seat. I talked with Charles back in August, back when it was merely very, very likely that Lollar was running; I liked what I heard. He’s running as a strong conservative, with an emphasis on fiscal responsibility – but without ignoring the social issues, either. Below is video from his speech to the Cecil County Tea Party on the Fourth of July:
Charles Lollar for Congress. Donate here.

*Interestingly, Hoyer was the last Democrat that I ever voted for, which is a mistake that I wouldn’t make again even if I still lived in the district. We don’t really have time for quote-unquote ‘conservative’ Democrats whose only difference between them and their liberal compatriots is in how much the rubble bounces.

I'm not too familiar with MD-05

OTOH, MD-05 is a D+11 seat held by Steny Hoyer.

On the gripping hand, the Maryland Republican base likes Lollar. I’ve heard him speak myself, and he’s good. Good background – military and business – and has the right attitude on fiscal policy. Should be acceptable to the social conservatives. Speaks well of America. I don’t think that he’d run if he wasn’t going to give it a real shot.
