Interview with Delegate Bill Frick

'Trying to influence outcomes quietly' An offbeat interview with a Maryland politician Interview by John Wagner Name Bill Frick Party Democrat Age 36 Home Bethesda Position Delegate representing District 16 in Montgomery County

Growing up, who was the sitcom character with whom you most identified? Alex P. Keaton from "Family Ties." I still identify with him, but somewhere along the line I adopted the politics of Ben 'n' Jerry.

On which television reality show would you be the most likely to excel? I loved "The Mole" on ABC. ... A freshman delegate can be effective like the Mole -- by staying under the radar and trying to influence outcomes quietly.

Check the Maryland Politics blog at 10 a.m. for the complete interview, in which Frick also reveals what kind of tree he most resembles and makes a prediction about how many of his House colleagues will wind up in the Senate after the November elections.
