Wye Mills man will challenge Colburn

"It's time we have new leadership and a new direction," the 42-year-old Wye Mills resident told The Daily Times on Wednesday.

Jakubiak will run as a Democrat and plans to officially announce his candidacy today in a district-wide tour that he said will include campaign stops in Salisbury, Cambridge and Easton.

He said the cornerstone of his campaign will be improving the local economy and restoring the health of the Chesapeake Bay.
