The Montgomery County Gazette published an article this week entitled “Session sets up some for future stardom” by Sean Sedam and Alan Brody. Looking for those whose political stock is on the rise the authors spoke with leadership and aids of both parties to identify legislators who could be heard from in years to come. The article discused two Senators, Garagiola and Pugh and four members of the House of Delegates, Guzzone, Kipke, Haddaway and Smigiel. Concerning Delegate Smigiel they wrote:
Del. Michael D. Smigiel Sr. (R-Dist. 36) of Elkton Always a big voice for Republicans on the House floor, the House Minority parliamentarian found new ways to stand out in 2009, including questioning the governor during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on a death penalty repeal bill and delivering an emotional account of his personal experience with domestic violence during a floor debate.
“Delegate Smigiel is a very forceful floor presence,” O’Donnell said of the second-termer. “He’s very knowledgeable as an attorney. He has the ability to cut through a lot of the fluff.” Smigiel is being floated as a likely state senator candidate should E.J. Pipkin (R-Dist. 36) of Elkton run for Congress in 2010, as is widely expected.
