The obvious selection for conservatives is Del. Neil C. Parrott of Hagerstown, an Eagle Scout brimming with earnestness, who was elected to the Common Meeting as a tea celebration organizer in 2010 and shortly emerged as a number one crusader for direct democracy in Annapolis. We disagree on a lot, however we admire Mr. Parrott’s integrity and respect the authenticity of his convictions.
Mr. Parrott passes the litmus check for incomes our endorsement, which is that he acknowledges Joe Biden is the reliable president and condemns the violence on Jan. 6, 2021. Mr. Parrott says he declined an invite to attend Donald Trump’s rally on the Ellipse that fateful day, the place the president incited a mob to assault the Capitol, as a result of he felt the end result of the election was settled and didn’t see any level in persevering with to contest the outcomes. He has confirmed keen to face as much as leaders of his personal celebration, even when it’s unpopular. In Might 2020, he sued Gov. Larry Hogan (R) to problem his emergency pandemic orders.
That mentioned, Mr. Parrott has spent greater than a decade attempting to make it tougher to vote. He proposed a voter ID invoice throughout his first 12 months within the meeting. After the 2020 election, Mr. Parrott traveled to Philadelphia to investigate provisional ballots in an effort to assist Mr. Trump, and maintains that 1 to 2 % of ballots he reviewed had signatures that didn’t seem to match the voter’s authentic registration type. He launched laws final session, which didn’t go wherever, that will have required signatures on ballots in Maryland to precisely match registration types.
At 51, Mr. Parrott is greater than twice as outdated as his main rival. Matthew Foldi, 25, has been elevating large cash and racking up endorsements from GOP institution figures contained in the Beltway, together with Home Minority Chief Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).Mr. Foldi has youthful vigor. He’s antsy to concern subpoenas and conduct oversight of the Biden administration. However he has but to display the maturity essential to serve in Congress.
It’s disheartening what number of different candidates within the GOP main discipline play footsie with Mr. Trump’s lies about election fraud or feign ignorance of established details. Requested whether or not Mr. Biden is the reliable president, Mr. Foldi was cagey: “There’s little doubt Joe Biden received Maryland,” he mentioned. Requested whether or not he would have voted to simply accept the electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania two years in the past, Mr. Foldi refused to reply on the grounds he wasn’t there.
Sadly, it was not hypothetical, and this sort of evasiveness displays a candidate not prepared for prime time. There are different indications Mr. Foldi would focus extra on trolling than governing and be a very dependable rubber stamp for celebration management. In Mr. Parrott, Republicans within the sixth District have a better option.

Michigan State Has Several Things to Fix Before Heading to Maryland
![Michigan State Has Several Things to Fix Before Heading to Maryland Michigan State Has Several Things to Fix Before Heading to Maryland](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4622,h_2599,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/spartan_nation/01j6q3dyp4hhn9f949m6.jpg)
Michigan State’s football team emerged with a 16-10 win against Florida Atlantic, but it was far from a convincing victory. The Spartans struggled throughout the game, exhibiting a range of issues that need immediate attention if they hope to find more consistent success moving forward.
With less than a week to prepare for its next opponent, Michigan State has a critical opportunity to address these shortcomings and refine its game plan.
The win over FAU exposed several areas of concern for Michigan State, particularly on offense. The Spartans were plagued by poor execution and missed opportunities, with several drives stalling due to penalties and miscues. The offensive line, in particular, struggled to establish a rhythm, which led to limited success in both the running and passing games.
Quarterback play from Aidan Chiles was inconsistent, with errant throws and a lack of cohesion with the receiving corps contributing to the team’s inability to sustain drives and put the game away early.
Defensively, Michigan State managed to hold FAU to just 10 points, but there were still some worrying signs. Despite the Spartans having multiple interceptions and a safety, they gave up several big plays, revealing potential vulnerabilities in the secondary and raising concerns about the unit’s ability to maintain discipline and focus throughout the game. Missed tackles and lapses in coverage could prove costly against more formidable opponents, making it imperative for the coaching staff to address these issues in the coming week.
Special teams were another area where Michigan State faltered. On multiple occasions, the Spartans gave up more punt return yards than they should have because of missed tackles.
With less than a week before its next game, Michigan State has a valuable window to regroup and make the necessary adjustments. The coaching staff will need to focus on tightening up execution across all phases of the game — offense, defense and special teams. This includes refining the game plan, improving communication and instilling a greater sense of urgency and discipline among the players.
The Spartans cannot afford to let the issues that plagued them against FAU carry over into their matchup against Maryland. If they hope to be competitive as the season progresses, the team must use this time to correct course and demonstrate growth in all facets of its game.
