"While the GOP foes in the 1st Congressional District are throwing mud in each other’s faces, Dem Frank Kratovil is building a stout war chest.

Martin O’Malley and Doug Gansler helped the two-term Queen Anne’s prosecutor raise about $60,000 at a pair of parties in the past week in Baltimore and Bethesda.

Perceived as Dems’ best shot in years to swipe the seat, Kratovil is running against three lesser-known primary candidates.

Money shouldn't be a problem, particularly if the Chris Van Hollen-led DCCC offers some post-primary aid. The 39-year-old amassed $165,000 in donations and reported $111,000 on hand through September. Unlike the GOP candidates who are collecting more dollars, he likely won’t spend much to capture the nomination.

"Although I love what I do now--I can do more as a congressman," Kratovil said.

If elected, Kratovil emphasized that he would focus on a number of areas, including helping the United States achieve universal health care, and bringing an end to the war in Iraq.

County Coordinator Named for Caroline County

Tracey Reid of Federalsburg has been named Coordinator for Caroline County. During the last election she ran the headquarters office for the Caroline County Democrats, coordinating canvassing, lit drops, signs, phone banks, polls and everything else that needs to be done. Her mother, Cheryl Everman, is our Dorchester County Coordinator--apparently the apple did not fall far from the tree.

Tracey served as a Navy Corpsman during the first Gulf War and participated in the Haitian Rescue at Guantanamo Bay; now she's a service-disabled vet. Thank you for your service, Tracey, and welcome aboard the Kratovil Campaign.

There are many ways you can help the Kratovil for Congress campaign, including door-to-door literature drops, phoning voters, and attending/supporting events. For opportunity details go to "Ways I Can Help" below.
