This election year will no doubt go down in history as a crossroads election. Do people want more centralized, big government micro-management of our lives? Or do we want freedom and limited government under the U.S. Constitution?

If you want to send a message to the powerful in Washington, you can do so with your vote. I'm supporting Dave Wallace for Congress in District 8. I've known him for many years. He's earned my trust as a common sense conservative.

Dave Wallace is pro-life and pro-Second Amendment. He is a business owner and a graduate of South Carroll High School.

Please research your choices in the GOP primary. I'm convinced the more you learn about all the candidates, the more you'll grow to support Dave Wallace to represent Carroll, Frederick and Montgomery counties in District 8 in Congress.
