Kent County Commissioner Alex Rasin repeated to the Chestertown Spy Thursday morning what he had told his colleagues at their regular commissioner meeting on Tuesday night, that he facing two significant health challenges.
Over the past few months, Mr. Rasin has been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, a heart ailment that affects a person’s heart rate. He has also had a preliminary diagnosis of an illness closely related to Parkinson’s disease. He is being treated by Johns Hopkins Medical for both conditions.

While both health concerns are treatable, they come with side effects that Commissioner Rasin wanted to make the public aware of, including troubles at times with walking and general balance. ”Sometimes I just walk funny,” said Rasin. “I’m sure this must be a sight for some, but it has nothing to do with my intellectual capacities, despite what some Democrats might say,” he quipped.
Mr. Rasin is committed to finishing his term as commissioner as well as Chairman of the Board for Peoples Bank over the next few years. At the same time, he is looking forward to slowing down with his law practice until he formally retires.
This Dem hopes Commissioner Rasin can and will complete his term of office with flying colors!
This Dem, friend, and fan certainly hopes A. Rasin will complete his term as a commissioner as well as on the board of Peoples and feel wonderful too.
There seem to be a significant number of Democrats in the county who are Alex Rasin fans. Count me among them.
I do not wish him to run a marathon for me but I sure want him to represent me and the other residents of Kent County as our Commissioner, He thinks and speaks with a clear mind and good judgement. We are lucky to have him willing to represent the citizens of Kent County.
How did this become a D or R thing?
Best of luck C Rasin. Johns Hopkins is really great!
I have had the pleasure of interacting with Alex Raisin several times and have come to appreciate his wit and humor – as also illustrated in this article. I applaud him for bravely and publicly discussing his medical situation. I also wish him the very best and rest assured that Johns Hopkins will live up to their legendary medical reputation. Best of luck Commissioner Raisin!
Alex… take care of yourself. IF you have to miss a few meetings, the P-nut gallery will keep William and Ronnie on the straight and narrow.
Alex, prayers your way…do you need me to go get a pot of coffee to get you going????
Alex, you are in our thoughts and prayers. I sure hope you get straight. Miss talking to you when I call in the office and for some of your advice. If you every need a good nurse just give me a call. Take care and hope everything goes well for you. Your friend, Donna.
Good luck Commissioner Rasin and get well soon.
