Havre de Grace Man Runs for House of Delegates Seat

Mike Blizzard, who lives in Grace Harbour, announced his candidacy for the Maryland House of Delegates seat in District 34A this week.

District 34A runs along the US Route 40 corridor from Havre de Grace to Joppa, including Edgewood and Aberdeen.

Currently representing the district are Republican Glen Glass and Democrat Mary Dulany-James.

A graduate of Bel Air High School (class of '81), Blizzard remains actively involved in local education. He is an admissions specialist and coach at Harford Community College; in addition, he has coached for Havre de Grace, Harford Tech and Aberdeen and remains a women's basketball coach at John Carroll High.

One of the taglines for his campaign is "Stand Tall with Mike Blizzard," as he is 6'8".

Blizzard, who is a member of the Republican Club of Harford County, is for 2nd amendment protection, curbing spending, reducing taxes and improving the business climate in Maryland, according to his campaign materials. 

“In Maryland we face very serious economic problems. We have an economy that is taxing private citizens and businesses out of the state,” Blizzard said in a press release.

“We need a strong business climate in Maryland that is competitive with our neighboring states to stop the fleeing of Maryland businesses and entice new companies to want to relocate in the Free State,” Blizzard said. “I want to work with everyone in Annapolis to seek solutions to our problems without partisan politics hampering our progress. Most people just want solutions wherever they come from. That is who I represent.”
