Bruce Stern enters race against Van Hollen

BETHESDA, MARYLAND – In the race against Rep. Chris van Hollen (MD-08), a Republican candidate has officially entered the contest. Bruce Stern a lawyer specializing in family and real estate law, has filed papers with the Maryland State Board of Elections to run for Congress. Daniel "The Whig Man" Vovak has made a series of phone calls encouraging candidates to compete with Van Hollen. Yesterday he spoke with Bruce Stern, and congratulated him for filing his papers. Vovak also spoke with Gus Alzona, a Republican Committee member in District 16, who is considering entering the Republican primary. Vovak says, "It's too early to decide whom I would endorse, though I invited both candidates to a party at my home on March 25 (Maryland Day) when I am hosting the campaign launch for Meyer Marks, who is running for State Senator in District 16. Currently, Democrats have a monopoly in Montgomery County, holding every elected seat. I am doing everything I can to revive the county's Republican Party and lead them to victory." Vovak has been in consistent communication with Steve Hudson, the 2008 winner of the Republican Primary for Maryland's Eighth District. Hudson has since moved to Virginia where he practices medicine.
