Q&A with Congressional Candidate Dr. Mark Plaster

Republican Dr. Mark Plaster is running for Maryland’s 3rd District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Maryland’s 3rd District includes the South Baltimore Peninsula, Southeast Baltimore, and parts of Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Howard, and Montgomery County.

The General Election is on November 8th. Dr. Plaster will be running against incumbent Representative John Sarbanes from the Democratic Party and Nnabu Eze from the Green Party.

SouthBMore.com spoke with Dr. Plaster as he was visiting his daughter, son in-law, and granddaughter in South Baltimore to learn more about his career and campaign.

About Dr. Plaster

Dr. Plaster grew up as a pastor’s son in the midwest and went to college on a basketball scholarship. After graduation, he went to medical school and entered emergency medical training. He came to the region when he got a job in Wilmington, DE as emergency room director at St. Francis Hospital. While in Delaware, Dr. Plaster went to law school at Widener University and obtained his law degree. He began writing about healthcare policy and launched Emergency Physicians Monthly, which now goes out to 35,000 physicians. He later launched several other publications.

In 2001, while his son was attending the Naval Academy, Dr. Plaster saw a poster for the Navy Reserve Medical Corps. He signed up and was commissioned at age 50 for the Navy Reserves. “When my son graduated the Twin Towers fell so we both knew that we were probably going to war,” Dr. Plaster told SouthBMore.com. “He and I are kind of an unusual father and son in American history given that we both fought in the same war at the same time.”

Dr. Plaster was the officer in charge of the shock trauma platoon with the Marine Corps.

“It really changed my life. I had all this understanding of government and healthcare policy. I came home and saw a Veterans Affairs (VA) system that was absolutely in shambles” he said. “The bureaucracy of the VA is just an example of the massive bureaucracy that is weighing down everything.”

Dr. Plaster is also a member of StartUp Maryland, which works to get new businesses started in the state.

Why are you running?

“When Larry Hogan won, and all the calculus in Maryland changed, we all circled and said maybe Maryland is willing to look at people outside the box.

When I look at our Congressman, he is probably one of the most liberal in the country when it comes to veteran-related issues and small businesses. He voted in the bottom 1% in the entire House with veterans-related issues and he scored a zero with the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).

I decided with Larry Hogan’s win that people in Maryland are ready for a change. I told my wife we are going to bite the bullet and try to do this. I declared that I would be running in early 2015.”

How has your campaign been received?

“Very, very well. We (Republicans) haven’t been competitive in this state in a very long time. This is the first time we’ve had a candidate face Sarbanes who has an educational background on policy and we’ve raised 100 times as much as the last candidate. We’ve raised more than $400,000. We have staked out issues that are mainstream issues that people have indicated are the most important for them. Taking care of veterans, getting our economy back on track, making sure we have a national security capability that can make us safe. The world is not safe.”

Maryland’s 3rd District has been called one of the most gerrymandered districts as it covers parts of South and Southeast Baltimore, as well as slivers of Howard, Anne Arundel and Montgomery Counties. What challenges come with representing such a geographically diverse district?

“This district was the poster child for a PBS News Hour special. They actually rode around in our campaign bus because it is the most gerrymandered district in the country.

There are two aspects of that. How do you campaign? They drew it so it would be very difficult, expensive, and time consuming to campaign in a district like this. And the district represents a very different collection of people with very different concerns. There are certainly things that are more important in the Jewish community like the Iran deal. People in Pikesville were furious John Sarbanes voted for the Iran deal. Anne Arundel County is in four districts and not a single representative lives in Anne Arundel County, which is typical of the lunacy this district represents.

Getting things back on track economically is a concern everyone has. Politicians find wedge issues that drive people apart instead of finding issues that will benefit everyone and concentrating on that. You try to focus on the issues that are important to the most people.”

How do you hope to make things work better in the House of Representatives?

“I’m 64 going on 65, and I’m not interested in a congressional career. I can sit down and talk to anyone and it’s nice to go there and get stuff done, and I’m not likely to be a pure partisan. 99.8% of the time, John Sarbanes votes with the party leadership. It’s clear that partisanship doesn’t help the country, it helps the individual congressman, but it doesn’t help the country.

I’m a Republican but I can still sway people in my own party and listen to people across the aisle. I have the kind of personality which generally likes people. I like to communicate with people and I’m not afraid to listen to opposing views.”

What do you love about South Baltimore?

“As I’m talking to you I’m standing on the corner of Fort Ave. and Henry St. I’m a member of the VFW here, where we just had a street party.

This area represents in essence the best and the future of Baltimore and the nation. We are looking at young people who want opportunity, who want to get out and build a life for themselves. When I talk to people in South Baltimore and Fed Hill and Butchers Hill and Canton, I love this area. I love it, it’s beautiful and it’s vibrant, but everywhere I turn I find people talking about how the city and federal government has regulated things and made things difficult for them.

I’m here (in South Baltimore) visiting my granddaughter and I see the debt, insecurity, and dying opportunity and I want to restore that for her.

When we’re with our granddaughter, we’re either in Riverside Park or Federal Hill Park, or at Light Street Café getting her favorite strawberry banana smoothie.”

At Home Maid in Federal Hill, fresh breakfast food comes with long wait

This may be Baltimore's cutest restaurant: Home Maid in Federal Hill is decked out in kitschy rooster wallpaper, old-time photos and mismatched tables, sort of like Pottery Barn meets Aunt Bee's kitchen.

The restaurant concentrates on breakfast with a minimalist menu that focuses on specialties...

South Baltimore Business Roundup

This South Baltimore Business Roundup is brought to you by Federal Hill’s Upper Chesapeake Insurance Agency:

Samos Opens 

Samos Greek Island Grill, the fast-casual spinoff of the popular Samos Restaurant in Greektown, opened its second location at Locust Point’s McHenry Row in former 1600 sq. ft. space vacated by Yogi Castle.

The menu features Greek specialties such as hummus and spreads, salads, soups, pita wraps, gyros, souvlaki skewers, spanakopita, small plates, platters, baklava and other desserts, and sides, as well as a kids menu.

REV to Open Second Location in Brewers Hill

McHenry Row’s REV Cycle Studio announced it will be opening a second location in a retail space at the Hanover Brewers Hill apartment complex near Canton. From a press release:

“With this new location, we hope to bring our unique brand of indoor cycling to an even bigger audience,” says Rick Zambrano, co-owner of REV Cycle Studio. “The road has been long to get us to this point, but with the support of our communities and clients we have reached our goal of opening a second studio.”

“Opening a cycling studio was a big dream for me, and opening a second location is proof that you can fulfill and even surpass your dreams when you let go of the fear,” says Esther Collinetti, co-owner of REV Cycle Studio. “REV provides a workout for both the mind and the body. Our entire team works hard to inspire courage and help others build healthy, happy lives.”

“I was there when REV opened their first location, and I plan to be there when the second studio opens,” says Katie Blaha, a current REV client. “REV isn’t like other big gyms; they know your name when you walk in the door. I can leave all of my troubles at the door and refocus my mind and body each time I clip-in and hear those two words: ‘gear up.’”

New FootGolf Course at Carroll Park 

Carroll Park Golf Course recently opened a FootGolf course. From a press release:

FootGolf is a newly popular sport that combines soccer and golf, challenging players to kick a soccer ball around a traditional golf course into enlarged cups in as few shots as possible.

The Craig Willinger Memorial FootGolf Course at Carroll Park has been created to include

18 holes and was recently accredited by the American FootGolf League. FootGolf can be played on the same course throughout the day as traditional golf and allows for greater use of the existing course by FootGolf players of all ages.

The Craig Willinger Fund (CWFund) was created to show young soccer fans fighting cancer that dreams and amazing experiences can still be part of their future. The nonprofit was started in honor of Craig Willinger, a Highlandtown native who passed away from complications related to a bone marrow transplant in February 2012 as he battled stage 4 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Idle Hour Hosts Block Party 

Riverside’s Idle Hour is hosting a block party this Sunday at 12pm. From Facebook:

Planit Named Tech Company of the Year 

Federal Hill’s Planit was named Tech Business of the Year in Technical.ly Baltimore’s annual Baltimore Innovation Awards. From a press release:

“Being named Baltimore’s Tech Business of the Year? That’s just awesome,” said Ed Callahan, executive creative strategist and co-founder at Planit. “Planit is a creative agency with a digital soul. While it’s easy to showcase our creative side we don’t always get to highlight our extensive digital development side—yet that part is so critical to what we do. Creative without a digital aspect won’t cut it. Our teams are proving that every day by working together to make ideas come to life. This award is further proof of it.”

Sagamore Spirit Hits the TriState 

Port Covington’s Sagamore Spirit is expanding the distribution of its rye whiskey up the East Coast. From a press release:

Sagamore Spirit, a new Baltimore-based whiskey company, announced today that its award-winning straight rye whiskey is now available in select restaurants, bars and liquor stores in New York City. The whiskey company plans to continue its expansion in the region by launching in New Jersey and Pennsylvania later this fall.

“We couldn’t be more excited to expand our brand and spread the Maryland rye whiskey tradition to New York City,” said Brian Treacy, President of Sagamore Spirit. “We are proud to put Maryland back on the map as the premier distiller of rye whiskey and share that with the Big Apple.”
