August Membership Meeting Announced

Eastern Shore resident and longtime business executive George M. Walish Jr. has filed with the Maryland State Board of Elections as a Democratic candidate for Maryland’s 1st Congressional District, formally launching his campaign to unseat Republican Rep. Andy Harris in the 2026 election.

Walish, of Earleville, is a former senior executive at BMW of North America and a former elected commissioner of the Town of St. Michaels, Walish brings decades of leadership across education, labor, and industry to his first bid for federal office.

 “I believe we can do better—for our working families, for the health of the Chesapeake Bay, and for the small towns and rural communities that make this district special,” Walish said. “I’m running to bring open, honest, and accountable leadership to Washington—and to make sure the voices of Eastern Shore and upper Baltimore County residents are heard.”
