The race is non-partisan. The candidates and their ideas are not. Here's why we get involved:
The following was written by Lisa Escaffi as a letter to the editor of the Carroll County Times. The members of the Carroll County Republican Central Committee agree wholeheartedly.
“Recent letters in the Carroll County Times, including an OP Ed, suggest in error that unless you’re a resident of the city in which a municipal election is being held, the current election is none of your concern. They also push the disingenuous premise that because municipal elections are nonpartisan, the candidates are nonpartisan and the elections are not political.
Members and leaders of the four Republican clubs of Carroll County reject these premises as disingenuous and that they show ignorance of how our levels of government work, and how politics works.
Each town receives state and county tax dollars into its coffers and receives services paid for by state and county taxes. So, we taxpayers have not only the right but the duty to engage in the election process, whether to support candidates or address issues important to us.
Beyond supporting municipalities with our tax dollars, many of us work within these city limits and so we care about their successes and failures. Each town maintains law enforcement services and backing the blue is essential to community safety. Our friends, schools, favorite businesses, restaurants, and even parks are within many municipal boundaries. To suggest that freedom of expression regarding a municipal election ends at the town border is, in fact, un-American.
Election law requires candidates to be registered voters. That means candidates are allowed to be partisan. A candidate’s political registration generally indicates the values and ideology with which they will govern. To know those values and ideologies when voting IS IMPORTANT in an election. Educating voters IS political but also essential.
As Republican clubs, our key responsibilities are to: 1) educate voters on the roles and responsibilities of good government, 2) inform our voters on elections issues and candidate choices, and 3) help hold elected officials accountable through a fair voting process. Those are constitutional rights which don’t stop at the city line.” - Lisa Escaffi
