Sen. Jim Rosapepe's Holiday Card: Possible Comptroller's Run and an Event with Former Senator Paul Sarbanes

Maryland Juice received the following interesting email Holiday Card from State Senator Jim Rosapepe. We previously mentioned that he was likely to run for Comptroller in 2014, and it appears he is advancing this plan. See the email below:

Wishing you joy during the holidays
and in the new year! 
.
 Merry Christmas and 
Happy New Year
from Jim and Sheilah

In the Senate, Jim now co-chairs the Joint Audit Committee, as well as the Technology Committee. With the terrific new president of the University of Maryland, Wallace Loh, Jim is leading efforts to launch rigorous public charter schools in Prince George’s. Despite the troubled world economy, Jim's investments have expanded, in Maryland, Europe and Brazil. And with his friend Peter Franchot expected to run for governor in 2014, Jim has been talking with people across Maryland about running for State Comptroller.

Sarbanes was the highest ranking Democrat in the entire country, as virtually every one of his contributions was from individuals. That's pretty damn impressive, whatever the motivation.
Maryland Congressman John Sarbanes is pulling in big money. In the first six months of 2011, Sarbanes pulled in a whopping $616,686, giving him $893,035 cash on-hand and zero debt. The Democrat represents the 3rd Congressional District, which includes Annapolis and parts of Baltimore City and the counties of Anne Arundel, Howard and Baltimore:
