State Senate GOP Welcomes New Senators Serafini and Ready
Two sitting delegates sworn in to replace departing Hogan
appointees Shank and Getty
In a statement released on Facebook
by Delegate – now-Senator Justin Ready, “Today, Gov. Larry Hogan appointed
me to fill the District 5 Senate seat vacated by Sen. Getty. I'll be sworn in
in the Senate chamber at 7:00. What an amazing, humbling honor to be able to
serve Carroll County in this new capacity. I'll have more on this later but
wanted to thank everyone who has supported me in the past. I'm excited to keep
working to make Maryland family, retiree, and business friendly again.”
According to the Senate Minority Office, Delegates Andrew Serafini and Delegate Justin Ready have been picked to fill seats vacated by Hogan/Rutherford administration appointments:
ANNAPOLIS, MD (February 2, 2015) – In front of friends,
family, and colleagues on the floor of the Senate chamber this evening,
Delegate Andrew Serafini (R – Washington County) and Delegate Justin Ready (R –
Carroll County) were sworn in to fill the Senate seats left vacant by the
departure of former Senators Chris Shank and Joe Getty for the Hogan/Rutherford
administration.
Senate Minority Leader J.B. Jennings (R – Harford and
Baltimore Counties) lauded the appointments of the two new Senators, saying,
“If there’s a legislator out there right now with a better understanding of the
budget process than Delegate Serafini, I haven’t met them. He has spent the better part of two terms as
one of the chief fiscal minds for the House Republicans, so I think all of us
here in the Senate—Republicans and Democrats alike—are eager to see what he can
accomplish on this side of the street.”
Senate Minority Whip Steve Hershey (R – Upper Shore) added,
“Delegate Ready has in just one term made a name for himself as one of the most
ardent advocates for conservative causes in the House of Delegates. I know that he will thrive as a Senator and
that he will represent the people and interests of Carroll County well over the
next four years. I look forward to
working with both Senators Ready and Serafini as we strive to change Maryland
for the better.”
Delegate Andrew Serafini was appointed to the House of
Delegates by Governor Martin O’Malley in 2008 and has served on the House Ways
and Means Committee since 2011. He has
run his own financial services company out of Hagerstown since 1990.
Delegate Justin Ready was first elected to the House of
Delegates in 2010 and has served on the House Health and Government Operations
Committee since 2011. He previously
spent two years as the executive director of the Maryland Republican Party and
owns a small advertising, marketing, and printing firm.
