Team member and State Senate candidate Jim Rosapepe has won designation as a "Blue Crab" Candidate by the Blue Crab Project in recognition of his strong record in fighting for the environment and to save the Chesapeake Bay. Blue Crab Project Director Howard R. Ernst, Ph.D., wrote “We designated Jim Rosapepe as a Blue Crab candidate to let District 21 residents know he is a strong, pro-Bay challenger in the 2006 election. He is a Bay hero, not a Bay zero.”
