Delphey to Seek Re election in Frederick County
Delphey a well known Frederick County outdoor man and former delegation chairman announced plans to run again for state delegate. He filed for office after the 1978 General Assembly adjourned and said he would seek reelection by his Frederick County delegation in Annapolis. He cited natural resources preservation, pension reform, elderly aid, and property tax relief as key issues. Delphey defended his vote against a state employee pension reform bill, saying flaws could be fixed by a conference committee next year. He noted strained relations with County Commissioners but rejected calls to alter local government structure. He described his two main accomplishments as a scenic rivers bill and support for agricultural land preservation. He is 60, a World War II veteran, a businessman with a Rocky Springs farm, and lives at 222 Carroll Parkway.
