Images of local election Campaign cards - Allegany County MD

Marshall Thomas Wilt was elected to the Cumberland City Council in 1982 with 2,901 votes, and re-elected in 1984 serving through 1986. As can be seen in his Cumberland News campaign advertisement from May 1982, his slogan was “Wilt Will Do It.” In 1984, along with being “honest, experienced and hardworking”, Wilt promised to “always strive for better government”, and felt we could all “prosper by working together.” Wilt, a Republican, was also elected to the Board of Allegany Commissioners and served from 1986-1990.
