Green Party nominee

Mother to replace Green Party nominee for Senate

Kenniss Henry steps in after daughter Natasha Pettigrew was killed in accident

The Maryland Green Party has nominated Kenniss Henry to replace her daughter, Natasha Pettigrew, on the ballot for U.S. Senate, the party announced Wednesday.

Pettigrew died this month after a sport utility vehicle struck her while she was cycling in Prince George's County.

 Henry's name was submitted Monday to the Maryland State Board of Elections for the seat long held by Democratic Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski.

The party's coordinating council voted unanimously Sunday night to nominate Henry.

"Natasha's supporters will still have an opportunity to make their voice heard by casting a vote as her mother carries her message forward to the election," Karen Jennings, co-chairwoman of the Maryland Green Party, said in a statement. "Even in her death, Natasha's voice and passion will carry on."

Henry said she is honored to run her "daughter's race to the finish line." She said in a statement she would continue her daughter's theme of campaigning "for the people."

Pettigrew, a 30-year-old law student at the University of Miami, was training for a half-triathlon when she was killed. In honor of her daughter, the Green Party said, Henry seeks to bring attention to bicycle safety and the need for bicycle lanes on all Maryland roadways.

The Maryland State Police are investigating the Sept. 19 accident. Police said the driver of the Cadillac Escalade that struck her before dawn on Route 202 drove off, thinking she'd hit an animal. The woman called the police when she arrived home and found a bicycle lodged under her vehicle.

CLEARANCE sale.

The problem with this sign is that clearance is spelled with an "e" instead of the "a" like it should be. All you would have to do to this sign is change the second E, to an A. :)

Meet Bridget Mallory

 Bridget Mallory has been an only child for the past 14 years.
Mallory was born 18 years ago, on Jan. 4, 1992 into a family including
her mom, her dad, and her mom’s six year old daughter. Four years
later, her half-sister, 10-years-old at the time, was killed in a car
accident.
“I remember everything about her, even though I was only four when she
died my memory of her is very clear” she said.
Malory currently with no tattoos plans to get one in remembrance for
her sister, pretty soon. She’ll be getting the date of her sister’s
birth, and the date of her death on her wrist.
She has lived in Bowie, Maryland since she was three years old when she
moved from Laurel. She lives with her mom who is a translator in a
clinic, and her dad who is a retired cop.
Graduated from Bowie High School in 2010, and now attends Anne Arundel
Community College. She’s hoping to only attend AACC for two years,
receive an Associate’s degree, and then transfer to University of
Maryland in College Park.
Although this is her first semester in college, she did get a head
start with some college classes while still in high school.
 She’s always thought the life of a journalist or a reporter was
interesting, so she’ll be at College Park to pursue her goal of working
in news reporting, or mass communications.
