Cox Chickens Out of Forum With Schulz

Secretary Kelly Schulz and Delegate Dan Cox were scheduled to share a stage today. But Dan Cox backed out at the last minute.

Cox and Schulz were scheduled to appear at the Maryland Municipal League Candidate Forum this morning alongside Democrats Peter Franchot, Doug Gansler, and John King.

However, sources at the event tell The Duckpin that Cox, who was scheduled to appear, was a no show. Cox emailed event organizers less than one hour before the event saying that he was not going to be in attendance. No reason was given.

We know, however, that Cox was on the Eastern Shore as recently as last night. Cox held a fundraiser.

Considering how in the last week Cox has debated Schulz and has begged the establishment to force a debate with Schulz, it will be interesting to see if Cox will quit whining about debates given the opportunities he has had and the opportunities like this he declined.

Perhaps he is only interested in debating Kelly Schulz in front of friendly crowds that already support him, as we have seen throughout this primary election cycle.
