Contributor Opinion By Eileen McGuckian: Why I Support Cheryl Kagan

This Contributor Opinion is by Eileen McGuckian.

Although I do not live there now, my heart has lived in Rockville and District 17 for almost half a century. Through that time, I have worked closely with both Jennie Forehand and Cheryl Kagan and consider them both to be friends. Both have served and would serve their constituents well.

While I don’t get to touch the District 17 voting screen, I gave considerable thought to how I would vote for State Senate if I could. My husband and I have decided to support Cheryl Kagan.

After 32 years, Jennie should be recognized for a number of accomplishments, even though she has never taken a true leadership role in either the House or the Senate.

The time comes, however, when any individual should make way for new ideas, different approaches, new relationships, and different issues. With her bank of knowledge, experience in Annapolis, boundless energy, and ability to work with people and groups, Cheryl is poised to enter office in January without District 17 missing a beat. The endorsements she has received reflect the breadth of her interests and how effectively she will serve our communities and our State.
