Under the Dome - February 22nd, 2018

Friends

Time is really flying here in Annapolis at the 2018 session! Happy to report that I’m getting a lot of bills passed and work done.

Just remember, not too may more weeks to spring. There’s still time to see you “Under The Dome!”

Please keep in touch! I appreciate your friendship and support. You’re the reason I’m here.

Looking forward to seeing you around on the Shore and “Under The Dome,”

Jim
