“LEADER-LESS�

BALTIMORE, MD (June 21, 2006)-Today, Josh White, the O’Malley-Brown campaign manager released the following statement in response to Bob Ehrlich’s first campaign ad entitled “Leader�:

“A more appropriate name for Bob Ehrlich’s ad would have been ‘leader-less,’ as Bob Ehrlich has failed time and time again to provide real leadership for Maryland’s working families, choosing instead to side with giant corporate interests and profits over working families.�

The only place Bob Ehrlich has governed from is the right – the right side of corporate special interests and George Bush, and the wrong side of Maryland’s hardworking families.�
