Nearly seven months after taking office, Annapolis Mayor Ellen O. Moyer has recalled her campaign troops in an effort to help re-elect the state and county officials who have supported her.

In a step beyond the usual endorsements, the mayor said yesterday that she will be the honorary chairwoman of a political action committee, or PAC, that will raise money for voter-turnout activities to support state and county Democrats.

Among the candidates the Annapolis Victory Alliance will support are Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, who is running for governor; County Executive Janet S. Owens, who is running for re-election; and all four District 30 legislators - Sen. John C. Astle and Dels. Michael E. Busch, Virginia P. Clagett and C. Richard D'Amato - Moyer said.

"We've had really good relationships with the county and the state and good partnerships in programs that can benefit the city as a whole," Moyer said. "If we are going to continue to have good things happen for the capital city, we need to work with a team of people who share in those sympathies."

During her mayoral campaign last fall, Moyer said that her relationships with other elected Democrats in the state and county governments would benefit the city.

Since taking office in December, she has said those relationships have paid off - in larger grants to the city and in passage of legislation she has backed. She noted the redesign by the state of the Bloomsbury Square public housing development to address city concerns and the receipt of additional grant money for security and emergency services.

"Our goal is to support those people who we believe have been helpful already to the city and with whom there is a positive relationship - you don't want to change that," she said. "I know the value of partners helping partners, and I believe in the Democratic Party."

Moyer said the committee will mainly work to mobilize Annapolis Democrats to turn out at the polls and vote. The committee, which will file paperwork with the state soon, plans to hold a $30-a-head fund-raiser at Annapolis Landing Marina on July 16.

As she lends her support to the state Democratic incumbents, though, Moyer is also pitting herself against the Republican she defeated last fall: former city Alderman Herbert H. McMillan. He is running for a seat in the General Assembly. When told yesterday of Moyer's planned PAC, McMillan questioned the wisdom of a city official actively campaigning for other politicians.

"The thing that Annapolis residents need to ask themselves is, 'Should my mayor be devoting her full attention to running my city, or should my mayor be engaged at an early stage in politics?'" McMillan said.

He called the committee a "divisive act" that could upset Republican residents. "It does not make sense to go out of your way to offend someone who you may have to work with."

"She should be thinking about how to save Annapolis taxpayers money," he added. "She shouldn't be thinking of ways to get people to contribute money to her political cronies."

But Moyer's move did not strike longtime delegate Busch as unusual. While he said Moyer is going "a step further" by establishing a committee, he noted that it is standard practice for elected officials to endorse their party's ticket because it can pay dividends when they are elected.

"Ellen Moyer is certainly taking a calculated step that Townsend and Owens are going to win," Busch said. "If, in fact, everyone [she supports] is fortunate enough to win and there is a turnout of votes in Annapolis ... that would be somewhat beneficial to her when she comes over with her legislative and fiscal agenda."
