From State Sen. Nancy Jacobs:
I have just alerted fellow Republican Senators that I will not be seeking reelection as Minority Leader. While I have enjoyed serving in that capacity, I don’t believe I can give that office all the attention it deserves in the coming months and during the 2012 legislative session.
Now that we know the details of the new Congressional District Map and will soon know how the legislative lines are drawn, I am taking time to ponder my options. Some people have suggested I should consider running for Governor. Others say I should think about a Congressional run or the race for Harford County Executive.
At this point I may run for any one of those posts, or none of the above. Much of that depends on how my Senate District changes and whether I retain Cecil County, which has been very supportive of me. Whatever I chose, it is likely I will be spending a lot of time meeting new voters. That’s why I felt it was best to step aside and not run for the Leadership Post next in the next GOP leadership election.
I believe it is extremely important for he future of Cecil County to support Senator Jacobs.
Her hard work, honest and integrity is now rare in the political arena, and Cecil County is lucky to have Senator Jacobs and Delegate Rudolph.
For a politician to actually do the job they were elected for is rare, so keep what is good.
If the legislature ever cut Cecil out of Jacob’s district she’d be finished politically. Maybe she’ll move to Cecil County to survive – she mentioned that this past summer. Anything else I think she’d be kidding herself in this state.
On Second Thought – maybe she will run for County Exec – I could see her and Mary Ann Lisanti battling it out
Jacobs lost Harford County to Art Helton in the last election. The only reason she is still in Annapolis is because of Cecil. She has NO shot at Congress nor Harford County Executive. Her only option is to move to Cecil County if she wants to retain her position in the Senate. Otherwise her political career is over.
