BEER MONEY FROM LIQUOR STORES, THOUSANDS FROM BIG BOX STORES, AND LOOT FROM LOBBYISTS AND LEFTISTS LOAD UP CAMPAIGN COFFERS FOR BRIAN CROSBY IN HIS ANNAPOLIS ADVENTURE

BY KEN ROSSIGNOL
THE CHESAPEAKE TODAY

Brian Crosby has been a busy little beaver as he swarmed the pockets and bank accounts of those on both sides of the issue generated by Marxist Wes Moore, who proposed allowing beer and wine sales in grocery stores before the start of the General Assembly session in January 2025. Most of the donations made it to Crosby’s campaign coffers on January 6, 2025, or before to beat the deadline before the start of the legislative session. Legislature rules prohibit taking official donations while the General Assembly is in its ninety-day session. Bribes are okay any time of the year.

Given the propensity and demonstrated ability of Delegate Brian Crosby (Democrat, California, Md.) to be sure to pluck all of the green moss of each and every rolling stone, the leftist who believes that pre-K public school children should be given gender-identity instruction has been harvesting enormous sums of money. Those who wanted to have beer and wine sales, such as one of the world’s largest retailers, Walmart, gave big donations to Crosby’s campaign funds.
Was the move to approve beer and wine sales in grocery stores a false move on the part of Marxist Wes Moore? He abandoned the crusade in under one month and, with a wink and a nod, said in January that it ain’t a hallmark of this year’s important goals as he still has to push through a plan to rob $3 billion from property owners and taxpayers. As the taxtakers don’t pay any taxes and the social justice warriors are part of the pirate gang led by Moore, the beer in the grocery cart issue might have been just a guise to load up the campaign chests of fellow Marxists like Crosby.
Liquor Retailers
• Small independently owned stores, mostly not even in Crosby’s district of the California, Lexington, and Ridge areas, gave Crosby campaign donations in order to try to survive an onslaught of competition from the big box retailers.
Small family-owned stores such as Murphys Grocery in Avenue sent checks totaling $600.00;
• $300.00 from Bradford’s Neighborhood Market (the old McKay’s location on Hollywood/Leonardtown Road;
• Laxmi Narayande LLC, which operates Jug Head’s Liquors in Laurel Glen Shopping Center gave Crosby’s campaign fund $400.00.
• Also, in for the magic number of $400.00, each was:
• Chiefs (W.J. Dent and Sons) in Tall Timbers, as well
• $400 from the St. Mary’s County Licensed Beverage Association, of which Chief’s owner Dave Dent is the president;
• Merchants Lane Fine Wine and Spirits in Leonardtown,
• Early Bird Liquor Store in Hollywood,
• Abell’s Tavern in Callaway; Marketplace Wine and Spirits at California Md;
• ABC Liquors of California, Md.;
• Leonardtown Wine and Spirits Sunoco in Leonardtown, Md.;
• Wildewood Wine and Spirits in California, Md.;
• Shreeji Beverages LLC (International Beverage Beer Wine and Liquor) on Great Mills Road provided checks totaling $300.00;
• Jeri Zink of the Baltimore County Licensed Beverage Association provided $500 to the Committee to Elect Brian Crosby;
• A PAC Committee – Retail Merchants Association donated $250.00 to Crosby;

Port of Call Liquors in Solomons, Md., (across the river from Crosby’s district and in Del. Todd Morgan’s district) gave Crosby $200.00.
• Country Place Liquors, Bryans Road, Md., $100.00.
• ABD Liquors, Prince Frederick, Md., $100.00.
• ABC Liquors, California, Md., $500.00

LOBBYISTS – Cornerstone is a keystone of Crosby’s campaign funds

Former Del. John Bohanan isn’t exactly engaging the crowd at the Democrat of the Year in 2015. Teacher’s Union President Karl Pence is dreaming of dessert as Bohanan looks for an ending.


Leading the funky funny money hit parade of money dumped in Crosby’s campaign fund was $1,032.70 from former Delegate John B. Bohanan, who Republican Deb Rey, in 2014, whipped from his roost where he was set to move up from Delegate to Speaker of the House as soon as Speaker Mike Busch moved along. Rey lost to Crosby in the 2018 and 2022 election cycles as Bohanan established a large revenge fund to keep Crosby as Delegate and ensure Rey never returned to Annapolis again. Bohanan is a top honcho of the powerful lobbying outfit Cornerstone LLC, and his fellow Cornerstone lobbyist and former Del. Maggie Mcintosh dinged her credit card for $515.45. McIntosh held a delegate seat in Baltimore City for 30 years, leaving in 2023.
Another Cornerstone bigwig, Jenna Massoni Sublett, dug into the lobbying firm’s funds to pull out a magic contribution of $2500.00 to help ensure Deb Rey never again returns to Annapolis. Jenna Sublett has been a lobbyist for gravediggers, representing Heritage Memorial Cemetery in Waldorf, and is listed as the operations manager at the Annapolis office of Cornerstone LLC. GOP former Delegate Patrick Hogan, brother of past and maybe future Governor Larry Hogan, is also a principal with Cornerstone. Former Del. Hogan represented District 3A in Frederick County for two terms, separated by a term of life in the wilderness. The terms Hogan won were in 2002 and 2010.
