REPUBLICAN PARTY

LOCAL CENTRAL COMMITTEES

Local central committee members of the Maryland Republican Party are elected at the primary election in gubernatorial election. The last such primary was June 26, 2018. Prior to 2014, the primary election was held in September.

Listed below are those who were elected in June 2018 as members of the local central committees. They will assume office in November 2018. Until then, local central committees can be accessed at: https://www.mdgop.org/recs.

After election by the voters, some local central committee members are unable to serve. When circumstances warrant it, the State central committee then appoints new members to replace those who have resigned, moved, or died. In the text below, such new members bear asterisks after their names.
