“Kim and I will be casting our ballots early by going to the Bel Air Library and voting tomorrow,” said Jim Rutledge.  “I urge everyone to take advantage of early voting. Many are critical of early voting, but I ask, why take a chance on missing the vote due to some unexpected family emergency or crisis at work? As patriots, we should be the first in line to vote,” declared Rutledge.

Rutledge’s Republican primary opponent Eric Wargotz has released a farcical skit depicting Mikulski as a bizarre dinosaur and Wargotz as an explorer in a safari helmet. Jim Rutledge knows that the race to unseat Barbara Mikulski is serious business, and questions the judgment of Eric Wargotz. “For the past 17 months, I have been meeting Marylanders who are in no mood to laugh about what the liberals and socialists are doing to our nation. In fact, far too many are crying. With so many out of work, I suggest this is the time to turn to serious leadership. Our next United States Senator must be prepared to lead boldly in the battle for personal freedom against the largest expansion of federal power in our lives.”

The Rutledge Campaign believes Maryland Republicans deserve more than a funny doctor who spent the last 6 months avoiding public forums and debates in an attempt to dodge his liberal past. Jim Rutledge has sought to provide an honest and open citizen-driven campaign that has not been bought and paid for by the ruling class that dominates the Washington landscape. Jim Rutledge has earned widespread support with his clear message of lower taxes, limited government, and strong national security. Endorsed by Maryland Right to Life, Jim Rutledge has the moral fiber to defend the unborn.  A defender of the Constitution, Jim Rutledge has received numerous endorsements because of what he stands for and not for what he promises.
