20061219 Brinkley named General Assembly Minority Leader

Brinkley named General Assembly Minority Leader.

Brinkley joins previously named Minority Whip in two top Republican leadership positions in the Maryland General Assembly

This is good news for Howard, Frederick and Carroll Counties.

December 19^th, 2006

Please see my previous post on new leadership for the Republican Party in the Maryland General Assembly: “20061206 Senator Allan Kittleman named Minority Whip”

And for additional, in depth background, read the September 22, 2006 article by Tom Dennison, writing for the Gazette, “Both Democratic and Republican Senate caucuses brace for change.”

Senator Allan H. Kittleman, (R) Dist. 9, Carroll and Howard Cos. e-mailed me very early this morning to say that “the Senate Republicans elected (Senator) David Brinkley (Carroll and Frederick Cos.) to be the Minority Leader… I wanted to make sure that you were aware of this development. As you know, I will be serving as the Minority Whip for the 2007 Session.”

Meanwhile we will continue to look forward to leadership from the former Majority Leader and Minority Whip, Senator J. Lowell Stoltzfus (R-Dist. 38) of Westover and Senator Andrew P. Harris, (R) Dist. 7, Baltimore and Harford Cos.

Not only is this a great decision for all of Maryland, it also means that the Carroll County Delegation to Annapolis has among its contingent, two leadership positions in the Maryland General Assembly.

This is great news for Howard, Frederick and Carroll Counties.

Congratulations go out to Senators Brinkley and Kittleman.
