Edgewater,
MD – With results from 100 percent of the
precincts now reported in to the Anne Arundel County Board of Elections
following Tuesday's primary election, Phil Bissett issued the following
statement this morning:
“Anne Arundel County is my family’s home.
It is a wonderful place to live, learn, and earn. I am extremely grateful
for all of the opportunities that I have been offered over the years and for
the continued support I have received from my fellow citizens. I am humbled
by these experiences. After 32 years of dedicated political service, I
announce my retirement from public life. My family and I want to wish Anne
Arundel County all the success it deserves.”
Steele Endorses Bissett
"I'm here today to endorse a proven leader and a man of action,
my friend Phil Bissett, for Anne Arundel County Executive." Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, 9/5/06
Words of Support
from the Governor
"Phil Bissett has been a long time friend of mine, and we were
seatmates in the House of Delegates. Phil is a strong Republican
leader in Anne Arundel County who is asking for your vote to be
the next County Executive. A County Executive must be a good
manager, and Phil was a valuable member of my Executive
Management Team. The County Executive must manage over 4,000
county employees, oversee a large budget, understand complex
state and local issues, and deal with important events that
affect the lives of all the people of Anne Arundel County. I
believe Phil Bissett is qualified on all of these fronts."
Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr., 9/8/06
