It’s official: Charles Lollar is running for MD-05.

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.

    But I know that Maryland is a very socialist tax-everything state. What is the likelihood of Lollar winning this seat?

    The simple, basic message of empowerment of the individual – by getting out of his way — penetrates through all the BS. Great, great story of Iraq.

    On the other hand, Hoyer’s going to be taking a lot of hits over the next year for having to back Nancy Pelosi’s plays.

    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.
