Maryland Republicans
made historic gains in Tuesday’s election.
Larry Hogan Jr. became just the third Republican elected
governor in the past 50 years, winning by almost the same 51.5% margin and
carrying almost the same number of counties as Gov. Bob Ehrlich, the last
Republican chief executive 12 years ago.
Sen. Allan Kittleman became just the second Republican
Howard County executive in its history, and Del. Steve Schuh, as expected, kept
the Anne Arundel County executive office in GOP hands. On the Lower Shore, Bob
Culver defeated Democrat Richard Pollitt, the first Wicomico County executive.
[…]
Republicans picked up nine seats in the House of Delegates
and two in the state Senate. The GOP will have 52 seats in the 141-seat House,
when just months ago their leaders thought they would be lucky to hold onto the
43 seats they currently have, already a historic high number for Republicans in
the Maryland House. http://marylandreporter.com/2014/11/05/historic-republican-gains-in-maryland-as-hogan-wins-gop-picks-up-execs-house-and-senate-seats/
