Republicans Seek Black Support in Washington and Beyond
GOP leaders push to attract black voters with outreach and policy proposals. Kenneth Eikenberry in Washington state invited two Black candidates to GOP events, while national efforts led by Bill Brock fund black political consultants Wright-McNeill to win over Black voters. The push faces skepticism over Panama Canal treaty ties and entrenched Democratic support, but some state chairmen back recruitment and offering job and tax incentives to urban areas.

Frederick County Board Shelves Real Estate Tax Increase
The Frederick County board of supervisors chose to use 275,859 dollars from surplus funds to cover the revenue a 25 cent real estate tax hike would have produced. Voter turnout at the budget hearing was low, yet officials avoided the tax rise, sparing property owners from about a 9.6 percent increase this year. The move is viewed as politically motivated with incumbents facing election pressures and anticipating higher debt service and capital needs next year.
