We Have An Emergency
Our representatives in Annapolis are politically powerless.
Our three representatives — two House delegates and one senator, all Republicans — sit on committees where they are always outvoted. They cannot chair a committee. They cannot move a bill. They cannot stop a bill they oppose.
They can speak. They can vote no — to no effect. Then they go home. Every session.
That's not representation. That's theater.

“What are you talking about? The Democrats wouldn’t even bring them up for a vote. I have literally zero control to get those bills to come up.”
How is this possible?
Maryland's legislature has been controlled by Democrats since 1920. Democrats don't just hold a majority in both chambers of the General Assembly — they control a veto-proof supermajority. They control every committee chairmanship in both chambers. They set the agenda. They decide what gets a hearing and what gets buried.

“Hershey said he couldn’t remember the last time a Republican amendment was adopted.”
Maryland Republicans and Democrats used to build relationships and deliver results for our district. But today our district's representatives belong to a party dedicated to vilifying Democrats, calling them "extreme," "radical," and "reckless."
You can't tell voters that Democrats are the enemy, then walk into the chamber and ask them to work with you.

“!! Democrats in Annapolis have filed a far-left radical to run against Delegate Teresa Reilly and me.”
Griffith posted this the day Greg Anderson filed. He has never met him.
They say they're "Holding the Line"...
Against what? Republicans cannot block a single bill, amendment, or budget line they oppose. The only legislation a Republican can successfully sponsor is one that Democrats already support.
Republicans have no power in Annapolis. They burned those bridges. On purpose. And we pay the price.
Del. Christopher Eric Bouchat (R-Carroll/Frederick)
In February 2026 Bouchat stopped attending the Assembly. Each day he drove to Annapolis, registered his presence, then left. His committee seat sat empty.
He wasn't sick. His explanation was blunt:
“Since my term started, you can remove every Republican vote taken on every bill both in committee and on the floor and nothing would change. Which means we are useless.”
“Republican votes are completely worthless.”
“I refuse to suck donations from constituents telling them I can achieve things for them, knowing the Republicans are useless.”
Our District 35A deserves better.
Let's hire representatives who can build relationships, move legislation, and deliver real results for Harford and Cecil Counties. For a change. That's why Greg Anderson is running — not to fight Democrats, but to work with them. Because that's the only way our district gets a seat at the Adults' Table.
No political theater. Representation.
