From Friends of Walter “Butch” Tilley:
Walter “Butch” Tilley III, President of York Insurance Services Inc. and President of the Harford County Sheriff’s Foundation, announced his Republican bid for State Delegate of District 34B today.
Tilley, a successful local business owner, is an engaged member of the Bel Air Community who has served on several local boards and commissions and was elected in 2015 to chair the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Foundation. He also has two children who attended Harford County Public Schools. Tilley is a newcomer to politics, and will bring a business owner’s perspective to Annapolis.
Tilley plans to help enact stricter laws and penalties on criminal illegal immigrants, work with Governor Hogan to make changes to the tax code to help Maryland families and grow our economy, and ensure all seniors can afford to retire in Maryland.
On his candidacy, Mr. Tilley says, “Bel Air deserves to be represented by a State Delegate who is a conservative Republican and will be a strong advocate for our community. I am not a career politician and if elected I will get things done in Annapolis.”
The Primary Election will be held June 26th, 2018. The General Election will be held November 6th, 2018.
Informed Voter says
This is great news! The only choices looked like McComas or McMahan. McComas has been there too long and McMahan is a has been puppet for Glassman. Out with the the old in with the new!
Hunter says
Really —what issue has McComas failed the citizens of Harford County? What vote by McMahan would you change to a democratic answer in Annapolis? Out with the Old is a very lame reason to change proven politicians who keep the best of Harford County in mind at all times.
I also take issue with Tilley using his position in the Harford County Sheriff’s Foundation as a political tool when the Foundation supports the brave men and women who selflessly serve our county.
Local Yocal says
SSDC (Same Shit, Different Candidate). 🙁
Mike says
Is “enact stricter laws and penalties on criminal illegal immigrants” the most urgent issue our community is facing?
Two Birds says
The most urgent issue is opiate abuse
Good thing is, we have the capability to get after more than one issue at at time. Deporting criminal illegals can happen concurrently.
Duh says
News flash… Mr Tilley the biggest employer of illegals is republican business owners who refuse to pay what a job is worth. Good luck getting elected.
Sword of Light says
Susan? Is that you?
James says
I just think it’s funny that Gahler and Robey had McComas carry water for his 30% pay raise sponsored by Norman and Reilly and now he is supporting Tilley against her. Got to love Harford County politics.
Resident says
So…. he has to support her indefinitely because she did the right thing? That’s why our political landscape is so sad. An elected official does something good for their community (which is essentially why they are there) and they can ride it out for decades.
The world is changing people!!
Mr.Tilley will bring fresh perspective. We could use that in Annapolis.
TruthSeeker says
I have heard that Sheriff Gahler is not going to get involved in this race as far as endorsing anyone. I am curious what James can offer to support his statement or if we are just going to see another slew of lies jump up on this thread. James?
Mike Callahan says
The Sheriff has already endorsed ex-cop J.D. Russell for State delegate i Dist 34B, ex-cop Aaron Pennman ,. in District 7 for State delegate and David Rynden for States Atty Gahler also had a big fund rasiser to help his candidates win.
McComas is a weak candidate for re-election. She recently made wild statement about outsiders complaining about racism in Bel Air suggesting the concerns were coming only from outside agitators.
Gahler will surely be supporting “Butch” Tilley and the Sundance kid. He is already spouting the Gahler anti-immigrant right-wing bullshit. Easy to win three way race. Only need 34% of vote (Aberdeen Mayor McGrady won with 34% in a 4-way non partisan election)

SoulCrusher says
James Russell and Aaron Penman are both terrorists that worked in the Sean Marston terrorist brigade. Neither of these men are trustworthy, have used deceit and perjury to further their own careers and have illegally convicted thousands of Marylanders thru their paths of dishonor and treachery. You’d do better by voting for anyone other than these two terrorists…..
Pleeeeeeeeease answer says
Question: Who am I ?
I knowingly violated the enacted marijuana laws of the state of MD. I was charged for violating the laws. I accepted an Alford plea acknowledging that there was sufficient evidence to convict me. I claim foul on a daily basis but never pursued any avenues of relieve. Now I proclaim that those responsible are domestic terrorists. I whine insesintly like a little bitch. No one wants to hear it any more. Who am I?
A) delusional
B) sociopath
C) SoulCrusher
D) all of the above
SoulCrusher says
Question : Who am I ?
I knowingly repeatedly violated the Maryland Code involving Trespassing on Private Property and Wanton Trespass on Private Property. While doing these crimes I knowingly violated the Reasonable Expectation of Privacy under the 4th Amendment of 100’s, if not 1000’s of Marylanders and US Citizens. I did ALL of this under the color of law, violated my oath as a police officer and helped the State convict people by knowingly providing the State with confirmed perjured testimony to both a Grand Jury and in open court of the Harford County Circuit Court. I also put the lives of the people I intentionally tried to ruin, in immediate danger by knowingly using unconstitutional home invasions involving large groups of armed men acting as terrorists and unconstitutional prison sentences where the State can NOT guarantee the safety of the people I unlawfully helped convict. I also used funds that were unlawfully seized to extort an Alford Plea conviction of the people I had committed my trespasses against. I then used threats to coerce an Alford Plea conviction of the people I had committed my trespasses against. I then try to belittle and prevent any person who was wrongfully handed down an unconstitutional sentence from ANY type of relief by denying these people their rights using contrivances concocted by the courts of Maryland to justify the agents of the State’s unlawful actions. I did ALL of this using unconstitutional court procedures, closed door suppression hearings in Judge’s Chambers, unconstitutional laws created by an incompetent Maryland General Assembly and by locking citizens up in jail who wish to contend my unlawful actions, until they take an Alford Plea. I then chastise any individual who complains and tries to warn other Marylanders of the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the State by claiming they never pursued avenues of relief, they are whining and that no one is interested in their claims. Who AM I?
A) Sean Marston
B) Aaron Penman
C) James Russell
D) The WHOLE Harford County Sheriff’s Department
E) The entire Maryland State Police
F) The Maryland Judiciary
G) The Maryland Legislature
H) The Harford County State’s Attorney Office
I) The 0rganized Crime Syndicut and Terr0rist 0rganization known as Maryland
J) All of the above
P.S. We can do this over and over until the end of time and you will never win because I will never give up……
SoulCrusher says
By the way “Pleeeeeeeeease answer”, I have tried every avenue for relief except for the Motion to Reconsider Sentence. This is because the Judge had ALL available evidence before him and chose to ignore the real facts of the case. There is NO RECONSIDERATION because William Carr is a terrorist and should have thought about his illegal actions before he handed down the illegal sentence.This is because this was the preferred remedy of the State that was pre determined by Judge William Carr, Joseph Cassily, Christopher Tabone and Edward Thomas Maxwell. I will NOT let the truth of the State’s unlawful actions be swept under the rug by these terrorists who deserve to be imprisoned, by conceding to an inadequate form of relief that is favorable only to the State. Please, stop trying to “twist” the truth by acting like the State was lawful in its actions. Clearly they were NOT.
Harford County Graduate says
Learn how to spell the word “incessantly” before you use it in sentences.
Hmmmmm says
Charles Manson died Sunday 11/19/17. He was a guy that chose to interpret the laws of his state the way he felt best served his needs or just flat out ignored them.
SoulCrusher says
Charles Manson led a group of drug crazed lunatics in a cult that murdered 9 people at 4 different locations. Your comparison of a mass murderer to the situation we are discussing only shows how demented and deranged you have become.
Hmmmmm says
A little paranoid aren’t we. Excessive marijuana use is said to exacerbate paranoia
SoulCrusher says
No, a little shocked that someone would make the comparison of growing marijuana and its use to that of a cult leader and mass murderer. I actually find your comments quite “laughable”. Paranoid? No. Shocked? Yes. Don’t even try and say that you weren’t making the comparison and that you were just stating a fact. Why else would you include your comments to this part of the thread?
Hmmmmm says
Instead of a swastika tattoo you could put a pot leaf tattoo on your forehead. You are so fun to play with.
SoulCrusher says
Oh, so you are having fun? What purpose or result do you see being achieved by all the “fun” you are having?
SoulCrusher says
By the way, Manson did not have any conscience for the laws he broke that both damaged and destroyed the lives of others. He repeatedly stole cars from people, prostituted women by acting as their pimp, convinced members of his cult to perform acts of murder and probably murdered at least two people himself. I just don’t see the correlation or relevance to anything you have typed….
Road Dog says
Penman isn’t an ex cop he is a Sgt at the Harford County Sheriffs Office. He plans on remaining employed by HCSO even though he will be in Annaplois for 4 months a year. He will be Gahlers puppet.
Mike Callahan says
My bad. I thought I read he was retired. I also thought you couldn’t double dip like that. The coach thought he could double dip as a teacher and County Councilman. He was informed.

Mike Callahan says
Aaron Pennman is pure Gahler Tea Party/Alt-Right Republican political extremist. Gun nut, Hispanic immigrant bigot,small government. more jobs, less taxes

Mike Callahan says
According to Topix Forum —-Marston’s Harco Narco Task Force in 2010 was noted for its stunning 65% arrest rate for Blacks over a 35% rate for whites. An independent study at the time showed Marston’s racist raiders “focused on black offenders while letting whites off the hook”

SoulCrusher says
Mike, you don’t even know half the story. At the time, the MSP had a unit called the “Marijuana Eradication Task Force”. Penman was the right hand man of Marston and conducted illegal investigations all over Harford County and Maryland. His dog used both the silent alerts and bark alerts, which is never supposed to happen because if you train a dog that way any reaction by the dog can be interpreted as an alert. Basically, the guy was running up to people’s front doors with a dog, cueing the dog on which door he wanted a reaction on and then he and Marston would apply for a warrant. This was done because the Task Force was really getting its information from illegal wiretaps and once they had intelligence from the illegal wiretap they would stage a dog sniff encounter. He had no regard for State trespassing laws or the 4th Amendment, ignored his training as a DOJ certified investigator and broke his oath as a police officer of supporting the US Constitution. If he broke his oath as a police officer, do you really think he would take any oath of office seriously? Would you really take any of his campaign promises seriously? He also claims to have battled the “Opioid Epidemic” when in reality the Marijuana Eradication team was NOT even interested in information regarding hardcore drugs, only MARIJUANA. Drug dogs can’t smell opioids unless they are right on top of the packages containing the opioids. His claims are fraudulent, his investigations were fraudulent and this man helped the State fraudulent convict many Marylanders both illegally and unconstitutionally. If you do a little more digging I’m sure you will find a lot more “truth” of the realities of this man’s career…..
Some Guy says
That’s funny, seeing Callahan use the phrase ‘alt-right’ that he saw on CNN with absolutely no idea about what it means.
Backstabbing in Election for House of Delegates says
This election shows the backstabbing nature of Harford County politics.
