Farm Bureau PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide

This guide identifies the candidates who have earned the first-round endorsement of the Maryland Farm Bureau’s Political Action Committee (PAC). They are endorsed because of their support for the farm families who produce local food here in Maryland. Additional endorsements may be made after the Primary.

We hope you will study this guide and carry it with you to the voting booth. Early voting begins on Thursday, June 14th and runs through Thursday, June 21st. Primary election day is Tuesday, June 26th. This election too important to go the polls uninformed!

We also urge you to support the endorsed candidates by volunteering to place a sign on your property, attend a fundraiser, make financial or in-kind contributions, share this endorsement list with your neighbors or work at the polls on election-day.

Be Sure to Vote in the Primary on Tuesday, June 26th and in the General Election on Tuesday, November 6th
