But Silverman, whose campaign steering committee includes a broad ethnic mix, isn't about to concede ground to Leggett on issues of importance to women or minorities.
On the County Council, Silverman also has been a leading advocate for child-care programs. He also says he was the "architect" of the initiative to reduce class sizes in county schools. The effort, Silverman said, "has shown great resolve for low-income and minority children."
"I am happy to match my record in the last seven years on behalf of women and women's issues with Mr. Leggett's comments about what he did 20 years ago," Silverman said.
Mistaken Identity?
Leggett's campaign Web site appears to feature misleading photographs of the candidate with "supporters."
The site, http:/
The page also contains several photographs where Leggett is portrayed as speaking with "supporters."
But one of his supposed supporters is actually Terry Lierman , chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party, who is staying neutral in the race. Another photograph features Leggett talking to Duncan spokesman David Weaver . Weaver also is neutral.
Another picture shows Leggett talking to Alec Stone , the former president of the Kemp Mill Civic Association. Stone is a Silverman supporter and in May hosted a meet-and-greet at his house for the candidate.
"I don't know Ike. I met Ike and he is a nice guy, but I have known Steve much longer and have worked with him in many capacities," Stone said.
Stone said he thinks the photograph was taken several months ago when he was complaining to Leggett about rising property assessments.
The Web site also includes a photograph of "Ike and some local children at a recent parade." When the photo is enlarged, the date -- April 25, 1998 -- appears on it.
