District 2 Delegates to the Republican National Convention Choose 3

DUTIES:Convention delegates elected in the Primary are part of the state delegations that officially select their party’s presidential candidate at the party’s national conventions. Presidential nominees are not elected directly by the voters in the Primary. Rather, voters in each state choose delegates to represent them at the national conventions.HOW ELECTED: Republican party ballots list the candidates for delegates to the Republican National Convention and the name of the presidential candidate each one supports. Republican voters in each of Maryland’s eight (8) Congressional Districts will elect three (3) delegates and three (3) alternates. The presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in each district will receive the votes of all three (3) of that district’s delegates. Each voter may vote for up to three (3) candidates for delegate and three (3) candidates for alternate from his/her Congressional District.

QUALIFICATIONS: How does your experience prepare you for the duties of a convention delegate?

A life-long Republican, I was privileged to serve two terms on the Baltimore County Council (1990-1998) and was twice elected a delegate to the Republican National Convention (for George H.W. Bush in 1992 and for Senator Robert Dole in 1996). Presented the 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award by the Baltimore County Republican Central Committee, I serve now as a mentor and volunteer for Republican candidates seeking public office in Maryland. I strongly support Governor Nikkie Haley for President.

SELECTION CRITERIA: What factors were most important in deciding to pledge your support to this candidate?

I admire Nikkie Haley’s sound record as governor of South Carolina, strong advocacy for America’s interests as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and conservative core values as a candidate for president. I share her support for Israel and Ukraine, a strong immigration policy, and a balanced Federal budget. I also appreciate her civility and commitment to maintaining our constitutional democracy.
