Dear Powerupmontco Supporters;

Some of the questions I received from Powerupmontco supporters asked about utility contributions to state races. Below is
a breakdown of the money donated by Pepco, PI, B!" and "#elon to !eneral $ssembly and %ont&omery 'ounty
candidates and political committees at the state senator, state representative and county level.
(he campai&n finance information provided is )ust a small snapshot of a much lar&er financial picture. *e&ulated monopoly
utilities in %aryland are free to spend virtually unlimited resources to fund the candidates that oversee their companies.
%ost other states in the nation have outri&ht prohibitions or severe restrictions on re&ulated monopoly utility contributions.
(his is not the case in %aryland.
Durin& the +,-. !eneral $ssembly Session, Dele&ate /ui0 Simmons worked with Powerupmontco to draft le&islation
restrictin& the financial influence of re&ulated monopolies in campai&ns. 1e hope to continue that work with him in the
years to come.
In addition to donations from the utility companies, I have indicated the candidates who attended the
Powerupmontco2$$*P seminar where 'atherine Pickar addressed the issue of not acceptin& utility contributions from
Pepco or other utilities.
Powerupmontco, at the request of some candidates, met individually with those candidates and
requested that they refuse or return utility contributions to their campaigns. If no contribution
amount is shown after a candidates name, then no contribution was registered for the candidate
by the utility in the Maryland Campaign Reporting Information ystem data base.
Please remember to vote. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. ! County Council
candidate analysis will follow this email shortly.
