Although Hartzok does not appear to have a primary opponent, there will be a race on the Republican side of the ticket. U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, Travis Schooley of Franklin County and Art Halvorson of Bedford County all turned in signatures by the state deadline.
The primary is May 20.

And Hartzok is not the only Georgist Democrat in a political race this year:
A Democratic candidate for County Council in Maryland, Jim Wildoner, advocates a land user fee approach to property tax reform, and cites the Democratic Freedom Caucus (DFC), a caucus within the Democratic Party,
advocating LVT-oriented tax reform, individual liberty, constitutional democracy, and social responsibility.
Wildoner's campaign website says that he has:
"Proposed an infrastructure user fee (IUF) that would be placed on your property tax bill and tax deductible."
His website also says:
"Jim has adopted the DEMOCRATIC FREEDOM CAUCUS platform (http://www.democraticfreedomcaucus.org) because it generally states his political views on promoting social justice, individual liberty, constitutional democracy and fiscal responsibility."
He has previously served as a Council Member for New Carrollton, from 2003 to 2013, where he has held all positions on the council, and has a degree in Business Management and an MS in Finance.
