Annapolis Capital Punishment

Now that Mike Christman has officially resigned and a special election will be held in Ward Two, Green Party member and community activist, Karen Jennings has announced she is in the race. Jennings, 33, is an environmental consultant for Straughan Environmental Services, Inc. and lives in the Homewood-Germantown neighborhood of Ward Two with her husband Ted.
Jennings decided to run because, "Annapolis is seeing tremendous change and Ward Two deserves a strong, independent advocate towork with its residents to protect and improve our community. I want to be that advocate for Ward Two residents on the City Council."
Jennings has been an activist with the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, an organizer of the Chesapeake Pride Festival, and a participant in Mayor Moyer's book club about community development. Karen has also been an active member of the Green Party, serving as the Anne Arundel Green Party's Co-Chair, and most recently served as one of the two Maryland Green Party representatives to the Green Party's national committee.
Certainly having the growing and increasingly active Green Party in the race makes things all the more interesting. Because of city election code, Jennings automatically wins her nomination for the Green Party (unless in the highly unlikely event, another Green declares) and will go on to the general election against a Democrat (Debbie Rosen McKerrow ?) and a Republican.
Aaah, the joy of a brief and furious election campaign. Let everyone in Ward Two turn out to vote and please tell all your friends in that ward to vote, vote, vote!
