When a vacancy occurs in the Maryland General Assembly, the party Central Committee appoints a replacement to serve the remainder of the term. While this process provides continuity, I believe voters should have a stronger voice in selecting their representatives. I would support considering special elections, particularly when a significant portion of the term remains, so residents can directly choose who represents them.
If a vacancy occurs in the Maryland General Assembly, I would prioritize candidates with integrity, a strong commitment to public service, and a clear understanding of the needs of Montgomery County residents. I would look for individuals with community engagement, relevant experience, and the ability to work collaboratively. Commitment to transparency, ethical leadership, fiscal responsibility, and accountable government would also be important criteria.
I want to serve on the Montgomery County Republican Party’s Central Committee to help strengthen the party locally and ensure our values are effectively represented in the community. The committee plays an important role in recruiting strong candidates, engaging voters, and building an active party organization. I also want to expand outreach, encourage civic participation, and support policies that promote opportunity, fiscal responsibility, and strong schools.
To ensure appointments serve Montgomery County residents well, I would follow a transparent, merit-based process. I would evaluate candidates’ qualifications, integrity, community involvement, and ability to represent the district effectively. I would also seek input from community members and local leaders. My goal would be to appoint someone who serves responsibly, communicates openly with constituents, and focuses on the needs of the entire community.

Generally,no. The Moore Administration had made a real hash of it in 2023, hence this question. It went to extremes. Hopefully a one off occurrence. Special Elections are expensive and require too much work for the volunteering folks. Sit in a parking lot handing out flyers in the rain for one small election is not fair.
That an applicant believe in delivering plain old government services for the taxes- not virtue signaling and accomplishing nothing of value-- Maryland is in dire fiscal trouble ---and the Statehouse works on anything else, but righting the ship . This is what our Democrat leadership does now.

My yardstick on an appointment is reduce taxes and reduce regulations and deliver best in class education and security of citizens to walk the streets. Give citizens a reason to stay in Maryland.
To be the "beachhead on Malibu with bad weather" and show you can make change in Montgomery in spite of on single party control in government affairs. To find and promote candidates who share the beliefs that we need to deliver basic competent government services -- not be a showboat and run on being on a Sunday Talk Show and virtue signaling and not delivering value for taxes paid--as most of our current Council and Executive and Delegates and Senators and Governor do now.
I will ascertain that any appropriate applicant will be a proponent of Plain Old Government Service-- believe and carry forth that Government provide the best basic services to its citizens- Schools are the best--as simple as reading at level in 3rd grade- Police have the respect and resources needed to keep streets safe and secure-- make sure prosecutors and Judges actually prosecute and judge per law in the books . Create reasons to stay in Maryland, not move away as they do now.
