Background
Joseph Bartlett was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1998 to represent District 3 in Frederick County, MD along with Democrat C. Sue Hecht and Republican Louise V. Snodgrass.[1] He succeeded J. Anita Stup a former Republican who did not run for reelection. [2] In 2002, the district was redrawn and District 3 became District 4A. In the primary election for this newly redrawn district, Bartlett won along with Paul S. Stull. Incumbent, Delegate Snodgrass, was defeated in the primary.[3] Furthermore, in the general election, only two candidates could win, and Delegate Snodgrass ran as a write-in and lost her seat. Bartlett and Stull went on to win both seats.[4] In the 2006 Republican primary election, Bartlett and Stull both won again, though unchallenged. Stull led with just over 50% of the vote.[5] After the votes were tallied in the general election, Bartlett and Stull came out winners again, Stull with 39.5% of the vote and Bartlett with 36.8% of the vote.[6]
