Town Hall Alliance aims for commissioner jobs
The Town Hall Alliance slate of candidates for next year’s St. Mary’s County commissioner election so far includes Commissioner Larry Jarboe, Richard Johnson of Valley Lee and Dan Morris of Mechanicsville and Randy Guy of Clements, all Republicans. Guy filed Tuesday to run for commission president.
Susan Julian, acting supervisor of the St. Mary’s County Board of Elections, described how an election slate works. “They run as a group, yet they’re still running individually,” and they can raise money individually or as a group, Julian said.

The slate’s platform is being finalized now, but the general themes are already in place. Property tax rates should be reduced and county government needs to be more transparent. “We don’t expect a 5-0 vote or 4-1 vote. We do expect when it comes to expenditures that they justify them, they do their homework,” she said of the candidates if elected, and no increase in taxes.
