🚨 Maryland politics moves fast. Last Friday alone, over 10,000 visits to my Facebook group Everybody’s Maryland Politics. That’s because people know if they don’t check in, they miss something important.
But here’s the deal: my stories depend on you. And you depend on my stories. If you want your county, your district, your senator in the spotlight, tell me what’s happening. Drop the details, share the shifts, give me the cues.
The Maryland Wire is where I lay out the stories and then publicize them in the Everybody’s Maryland Politics group, where insiders and everyday readers meet. Let’s keep it moving.
Why this works!
By making more detailed stories here in substack that I can on Maryland politics with footnotes and more pictures, it allows me to give more detailed stories. Then when I post something to everybody’s Maryland politics, it’s backed up by something solid with footnotes and citations.
Readers are vital to this!
By allowing readers to contact me and give me confidential stories, it gives me an insight that nobody else is willing to talk about. I’m careful about the things I write, but I wouldn’t have nearly as many stories if people weren’t sharing what they see going on in their office or their department or their County or in the Maryland general assembly. If you want to participate in this, probably the easiest way is to send me an email or a text. Any mail through this group or text me at 570-447-4395. One thing you’ll find is I never burn my sources. I never tell where I got the story.
So if you wish I wrote more about your area or your concerns. Help me out by telling me what’s going on. Your tip can shine a spotlight on people doing a great job or expose people not being honest.
Whether you are Bragging or Dropping a Dime on the opposition, Text 570-447-4395 or email Barry.OConnell@Yahoo.com
