Where in the World is Barbara Samorajczyk?

With Sheriff George Johnson having announced his candidacy for County Executive two weeks ago, and Department of Parks and Recreation Head Dennis Callahan already gladhanding around the county in anticipation of his likely announcement, the third likely Democratic entrant, Councilwoman Barbara Samorajczyk has been lying uncharacteristically low of late.

Granted, it is still 11 months before the 2006 primary election, but the fiery and often meticulous Samorajczyk has some serious name recognition obstacles to overcome, particularly among the Democratic strongholds of Glen Burnie, Linthicum, and Brooklyn Park, which constitute the Sheriff's chief stomping grounds.

With Johnson promising us sugar, spice and all things nice and Callahan offering a ballfield in every backyard, it's imperative that the residents of the County be offered a choice who both has considerable experience negotiating the ropes of County government, and the backbone to stand up the the vultures who have filled their bellies at the development buffet run by the current administration.
