Republican Delegate Steve Landes is starting to feel the heat in his 25th District re-election campaign. After making headlines for saying the Obama administration is acting like Nazi Germany (an accusation he still refuses to walk back), Landes reported pitiful fundraising numbers for July and August – just over $9,000 raised in the period.

Now his Democratic opponent, charismatic doctor and former naval officer Greg Marrow, is returning to the bread and butter issues that brought him into the race – and Landes’ mediocre record on those issues. All the pressure was clearly getting to Del. Landes during a candidates’ forum a few days ago:

“Do we want the same-old, same-old? Einstein once said that the defintion of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and over and expecting a different result. That’s what we’re getting,” Marrow said. “Del. Landes is now talking about health care for the first time in a long time. He’s talking about job creation in the green sector and alternative fuels for the first time in a long time. I’m very, very happy to see that. But where has he been on those topics the last decade?”

The candidates had agreed beforehand to take one question from their opponent. Marrow asked Landes to detail what he has accomplished in his time in the House of Delegates, prompting a visibly rattled Landes to first promise Marrow that he would give him a copy of his legislative record, then, when it was Marrow’s turn to answer a question from Landes, Landes interrupted Marrow to hand him a red folder with a Landes campaign sticker on it.

“What have you accomplished?” might be the easiest, softball question a politician can ever hope for, so the fact that it “visibly rattled” Del. Landes goes to show how little he’s actually done in his 13 years as a Delegate. Maybe if he spent more time bringing jobs to his district and less time searching for Nazis, Landes would have more accomplishments to talk about.

Dr. Marrow would be a huge improvement, and you can learn more about his campaign here.
