Former Delegate Running for County Council
Former Delegate Phil Bissett, who lost in the Republican Primary for County Executive to John Leopold, is running again. This time he has tossed his hat into the ring for County Council for the 7th District.
Bissett’s website is still under constructio9n, but his Facebook page appears to have been created on February 7th and already has nearly 500 fans.
Taking a page from the Leopold playbook, Bissett was seen this morning along Route 2 in Edgewater waving and holding a sign. indicating that it will be a long political season. If no other Republican candidates emerge, it appears his opponent will be first term County Councilman, Tricia Johnson who did not win her office but was appointed by the Council to fill the seat of Ed Reilly.
