Newcomer raises $18K in one month

A Republican newcomer raised $18,000 in the one month he has campaigned for an open Baltimore County seat in the General Assembly, his camp reported, though his fund is a far cry from the treasury of his Democratic opponents.

Attorney Jeffrey Yablon, a self-described moderate Republican running for the open state senate seat in District 11, in part credited the early response to an endorsement from Gov. Robert Ehrlich and an online donation campaign.
