Md. Farm Advocate Uses Planning, Perseverance and Patience – Lancaster Farming. 
Here’s a recent article I wrote on a dynamic lobbyist for the Maryland Farm Bureau, Valerie Connelly [right], pictured here with State Delegate Kelly Schulz. The article is in Lancaster Farming, an agricultural weekly.

Very energizing article. Always exciting to read about women who are both successful and “genuine”.
I like how you kept the article focused on Connelly’s effectiveness at her job and the qualities of her personality. Knowing this was an article for a specific audience, it was interesting to me to see it keep a focus on her work without needing to get into the issues that may pit farmers against Bay advocates. Must have been a bit of a tightrope to walk! The article created a portrait of a very vivacious, hard working and capable person producing results for her constituency. Any subscriber would be proud!
