The legislative filibuster is one of several unique features of the Senate. The House of Representatives has representation based on population; the Senate has two senators per state. So, a state as small as Delaware has the same representation as California.

Remember, the Senate was intended to be the voice of the states, and minority rights matter here.

The Republican Party thanks and honors our local communities of faith for stepping up during this pandemic to share with and help feed their neighbors.

Our local government continues on a far left trajectory, but they are hearing us and they do learn. Apparently they’ve learned that the term “Defund the Police” does not appeal to voters; that we want the SRO’s in public schools;  that we want our schools, restaurants and houses of worship open; that we want reasonable distribution of the Covid vaccine and that we want common sense in our local Government. You can see that they're afraid the local Council elections will remember their failed tactics in 2022.

ANN HINGSTON

Ann modestly reported that she had little to say about her personal experiences.  I beg to disagree with this most interesting member of the Central Committee.   Ann traveled the world prior to her marriage.  

She had four careers, all involved in a variety of ways working with conservatives celebrating our cultural heritage and engaging in the culture wars.  She retired from the federal government in 2009.

Why is Montgomery County important to the GOP? And why should you donate to support our mission?

Montgomery County will have a new mass vaccination site to distribute large quantities of COVID-19 vaccinations at the Germantown campus of Montgomery College starting the week of April 5. Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced the establishment of the site on March 23.
