Hogan names Brinkley as budget chief – by Michael Dresser, The Baltimore Sun January 15, 2015

Hogan names ex-GOP Senate leader as budget chief – by Michael Dresser, The Baltimore Sun January 15, 2015

http://touch.carrollcountytimes.com/#section/1993/article/p2p-82544628/

[…]

Hogan announced the appointment of former Senate Minority Leader David R. Brinkley, long recognized as a leading Republican specialist on fiscal matters, to head the Department of Budget and Management. The person who fills that role typically takes on the job of chief explainer of the details of the governor's budget.

Brinkley, 55, served eight years in the House of Delegates and 12 in the Senate before he was defeated in the GOP primary last year by a challenger who said he was too accommodating with Gov. Martin O'Malley and Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, both Democrats.

Hogan said he didn't clear Brinkley's appointment with that intraparty rival, now-Sen. Michael J. Hough, but didn't expect any problems with the Republican caucus.

Md Senator David Brinkley: More than $100 million spent with nothing to show for it

More than $100 million spent with nothing to show for it

February 11, 2014

Dear Kevin-

Senator

David R. Brinkley

Maryland has become known as a test kitchen for liberal policies. After the passage of Obamacare in DC, Maryland spent more than $100 million to voluntarily set up and market its own exchange. Led by Lt. Governor Anthony Brown, Democrats in Annapolis patted themselves on the back for leading the way. Yet, when these health care exchange web sites went live last fall,Maryland's site made the Federal rollout look like a success. Hard to believe, isn't it?

Now Maryland is scrambling to find a way to clean up this mess and help the many Marylanders who lost their existing health care plan and could not sign up for a new plan on the State's exchange web site.

I am leading the call for a full independent investigation to uncover how these millions of tax dollars were spent and who is responsible for the mess. Only through an independent investigation with the power to subpoena will we be able to learn the truth. The Democrats are avoiding investigating this and getting the answers we as citizens deserve until this summer, conveniently timed after the Primary Election.

As always, if I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me in Annapolis or my District office.

Sincerely,

Senator David Brinkley

WBAL - February 10, 2014 - "Oversight panel starts analyzing Md. health exchange"

"Two-hundred-sixty million dollars through all these appropriations and we still don't have something that's working . . . " Senate Minority Leader David Brinkley said.

The Baltimore Sun - February 3, 2014 - "Mr. Brown Gets a Reprieve" [Editorial]

. . . Frankly, the best idea we've heard so far is from Senate Minority Leader David R. Brinkley who called for an independent probe. That was good enough for the Democrats when they weren't happy with hiring and firing practices in the administration of Republican Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. nine years ago, and the same standard ought to apply today.

The Washington Post - February 2, 2014 - "Maryland leaders accused of political motives over long review of health exchange problems"

Senate Minority Leader David R. Brinkley (R-Frederick), who wants the state to hire outside counsel to investigate, scoffed at the suggestion that such an inquiry would reduce the number of Marylanders who get health insurance.

"They are recognizing that there's an ongoing problem, but they don't want to address it because it might cause embarrassment to the lieutenant governor in his gubernatorial bid," he said.

September 27, 2013 From the desk of Sen. David Brinkley

Fall is upon us! Crisp mornings, fog in the valleys, and soon the colors of fall will change the landscape around us, as parades and fall festivals bring in the fall season.

Senator

David R. Brinkley

Historically, we look to this time of year for the harvest, as we reflect on the bounties of our life and the summers' labors, and look to the winter and another year. That also means legislators gear up for another legislative session.

This year, I will serve as the Minority Leader of the Maryland Senate, alongside my friend Senator Joe Getty (R - District 5, Baltimore and Carroll counties) as Minority Whip.

Senator Joe Getty (L)
and
Senator David Brinkley (R)

It is a tremendous honor for both of us to lead the 12 Republican members of the Senate, and I am honored by their trust and confidence.

Legislators are getting requests from constituents and their local governments. This session will be the last of this term, and I look to see a myriad of issues present themselves. Corporate taxes, the "Rain tax", minimum wage, environmental issues etc.

CD6: Republican Candidates Respond to Release of Sen. David Brinkley's 911 Calls // Robin Ficker & Del. Kathy Afzali Speak Out

UPDATE: Maryland Reporter notes a 3rd GOP candidate response from Brandon Rippeon. He calls both Bartlett and Brinkley "unworthy."

The Republican Primary in Maryland's 6th Congressional District is getting crazy as we get closer to election day. Over the weekend, Rep. Roscoe Bartlett took out a sledgehammer and smacked challenger State Sen David Brinkley in the head. His supporters unearthed audio tapes of 911 calls placed by Brinkley's ex-wife that were made when the Senator was caught in an affair.

Two Republican candidates are now condemning the shenanigans in the CD6 race. Below we print email blast responses from former Delegate Robin Ficker and Delegate Kathy Afzali. Ficker's email message is reportedly going out to 40,000 voters.... http://www.marylandjuice.com/2012/04/cd6-republican-candidates-respond-to.html

By John Fritze, The Baltimore Sun

9:25 p.m. EST, January 4, 2012

Nearly a half-dozen Maryland state lawmakers are hoping to exploit the nation's anti-incumbent mood with campaigns for Congress that focus heavily on Washington's dysfunction.

Two Republican state senators, David Brinkley of Frederick County and Nancy Jacobs of Harford County, announced plans this week to run for the House of Representatives. A third, Democrat C. Anthony Muse of Prince George's County, is expected to toss his name in for the Senate on Thursday... http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-congress-2012-20120104,0,7834362.story

Brinkley for Congress Announces Senator Shank to Chair Washington County

December 13, 2011 (Frederick, MD) — State Senator David Brinkley announced today that State Senator

Chris Shank of Hagerstown, the former House Minority Whip, would be his campaign chair for Washington

County. Senator Shank was one of the first to join the Exploratory Committee to support Brinkley’s

candidacy for the United States House of Representatives in the newly-redrawn 6th Congressional District.

“A victory in this election will be determined by who wins Washington County,” said Brinkley. “Senator

Shank’s effort on our behalf will play a major role in this campaign. I cannot think of a better person to

organize our campaign than someone who whipped votes in the State House,” he added.

“I served with David for four years in the House, and now in the Senate, and I have witnessed firsthand his

conservative leadership, superior constituent service and tireless work ethic. In these trying economic times,

as a financial planner, I believe David is the best candidate to represent the new 6th,” said Shank.

In addition to Senator Shank, a partial list of the Committee co-chairs include State Senators George

Edwards, Joe Getty, Alan Kittleman and Minority Leader E.J. Pipkin; State Delegates Wendell Beitzel,

Leroy Myers, Don Elliott, Susan Krebs, Donna Stifler and Kelly Schulz; and Montgomery County

Republican Central Committee Chair Mark Uncapher.

David Brinkley served as vice chair of the local Republican State Central Committee, was elected to two

terms in the Maryland House of Delegates representing Frederick County, and was recently re-elected to his

third term in the State Senate representing Frederick and Carroll Counties.

David is a Charter Life Underwriter (CLU), a Charter Financial Consultant (ChFC), a financial planner and a

small business owner. He is a former volunteer EMT and firefighter with the New Market District Volunteer

Fire and Rescue Company. He was born in the City of Frederick and has an undergraduate degree from

the University of Maryland. He has two children and lives in Frederick County. He is a member of Grace

Episcopal Church.

Brinkley Announces Delegate Beitzel to Chair Garrett County Campaign

Brinkley Announces Beitzel and Myers to Chair Garrett and Allegany Counties

Senator Edwards joins Exploratory Committee

December 20, 2011 (Frederick, MD) — State Senator David Brinkley announced today that Delegate Wendell Beitzel would be his campaign chair for Garrett County and Delegate Leroy Myers would chair Allegany County. Along with Senator George Edwards, they were among the first to join the Exploratory Committee to support Brinkley’s candidacy for the United States House of Representatives in the newly-redrawn 6th Congressional District.

“Garrett and Allegany Counties have always been among the most reliable conservative counties within the 6^th Congressional District,” said Brinkley. “Just like Route 68, the road to the Republican nomination runs right through Mountain Maryland,” he added.

The endorsement by these Western Maryland legislative leaders is evidence of the growing support for new leadership in Congress. “I could not take on this challenge without their support,” Brinkley said.

In his endorsement, Beitzel said, “I first became acquainted with Senator Brinkley during my freshman term in the Maryland House of Delegates. Although we served in different chambers, I soon realized that he possessed impressive leadership qualities. David is a very strong champion for Western Maryland and steadfastly works to uphold the conservative values and principles that I admire in a leader. I believe Senator Brinkley is the best candidate to represent the new 6^th in Congress as the nation struggles to regain its footing from economic decline and social unrest,” said Beitzel.

"David and I serve on the budget committees in Annapolis and he knows how to submit balanced budgets without resorting to tax increases," Myers added. "David Brinkley is the proven fiscal conservative we need in Washington, now more than ever."

In addition to Beitzel, Myers and Edwards, a partial list of the Committee co-chairs include State Senators Chris Shank, Joe Getty, Alan Kittleman and Minority Leader E.J. Pipkin; State Delegates Kelly Schulz, Don Elliott, Susan Krebs, and Donna Stifler; Mayor Randy McClement of Frederick and Mayor Bob Bruchey of Hagerstown and Montgomery County Republican Central Committee Chair Mark Uncapher.

David Brinkley was elected to two terms in the Maryland House of Delegates representing Frederick County, and was recently re-elected to his third term in the State Senate representing Frederick and Carroll Counties. David is a Charter Life Underwriter (CLU), a Charter Financial Consultant (ChFC), a financial planner and a small business owner. He is a former volunteer EMT and firefighter with the New Market District Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company. He was born in the City of Frederick and has an undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland. He has two children and lives in Frederick County. He is a member of Grace Episcopal Church.
