PUBLIC STATEMENT – September 5, 2006
TEXT OF LT. GOV. STEELE'S WRITTEN ENDORSEMENT OF PHIL
BISSETT FOR ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY EXECUTIVE:
Dear Constituents, Supporters, Citizens of our Great
State, and Citizens of Anne Arundel County:
I have spent my years as Lieutenant Governor chairing the
Commission on Quality Education, reforming the state's
Minority Business Enterprise program, and promoting policies
to reduce crime and protect our environment.
In short, I've actively worked to make the State of Maryland
a better place to live, work, and play for all Marylanders
and their families. I pledge to do the same as your
representative in the United States Senate.
No person can make a great difference working all by
himself. To move government forward, you need teamwork, and
the skills and real-world experience to lead that team
successfully.
That's why I'm here today to endorse a proven leader and
a man of action, my friend Phil Bissett, for Anne Arundel
County Executive.
Phil has been a valued member of our administration, most
recently as director of MARC train. I respect his long
record of community and public service. As chair of the Anne
Arundel Delegation to the General Assembly, Phil always
operated with the taxpayers' best interest in mind. And like
me, he comes from humble roots and is a dedicated family
man.
Our two campaigns have exhibited great teamwork – working
side by side together out on the campaign trail, along with
Gov. Ehrlich's team. --We love to work with the Bissett
Brigade! They know how to get things done.
And that's exactly what we can expect from Phil Bissett as
County Executive: leadership that gets the job done for the
citizens of Anne Arundel County.
