“The outpouring of support from the members of our community is truly humbling,” stated Jacobsen. “Each day I work hard to give the residents of South County, Crofton, and Gambrills a candidate who will represent their interests each day – keeping taxes low, ensuring South County stays rural, and delivering a 13th high school to Crofton the way only a Democrat can. Not for political gain or in the interest of developers, but for their quality of life.” http://www.torreyjacobsen.com/.
