A Friendly Fight

In an interview this morning, Del. Marvin E. Holmes Jr. (D-Prince George's) says he has every intention of running against Del. Barbara A. Frush (D-Prince George's) for chairman of the county's House of Delegates delegation when the group gets together tomorrow. And he thinks he's going to win.

"The momentum is clearly in our favor. I expect that once the vote is taken, momentum will continue to sweep in our favor," he said. "I do have 12 votes."

You can read more about the leadership campaign in the entry below. Both sides seem to think the deciding vote is likely to belong to Del. Victor R. Ramirez (D), who is visiting Turkey and will miss the meeting. Both sides believe he will vote for them.

And both sides have one other thing in common: They insist the two delegates are good friends and the delegation will emerge united whatever occurs.

"Barbara and I are friends," said Holmes. "Marvin and I are good friends," said Frush.
