A first-term state senator from the Eastern Shore has scheduled appearances across the state Monday to announce his decision to run against U.S. Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski next year.
Republican Sen. E.J. Pipkin, who rose to prominence after defeating a veteran committee chairman last year, declined to comment on the scheduled appearances, including one at Waters Edge Park in Dundalk at 11 a.m.

Pipkin's decision to run drew praise from State GOP Chairman John Kane.

"We're really excited that Senator Pipkin is running," Kane said. "We've been after Senator Pipkin for the last five months to consider running. ... For the good of the Republican Party, he has agreed to take the plunge and make a go of it."
