More GOP endorsements
The Phoenix-based Reagan Republican Club has endorsed the following state and local candidates in the Republican primary:
Robert Ehrlich for Governor; Jim Rutledge for U.S. Senate; Andy Harris for Congress, District 1; Roscoe Bartlett for Congress, District 6; Al Redmer for 7th District State Senate; Marilyn Booker for 7th District Delegate; Kathy Szeliga for 7th District Delegate; Joe Boteler for 8th District Delegate; John Cluster for 8th District Delegate; Ken Holt for County Executive; Steve Bailey for States Attorney; and Rich Reinhardt for Clerk of the Court.
On a side note, Ann Miller, club president and a campaign aide to Al Redmer, said Friday she was not involved in the club’s decision to endorse Redmer over his primary opponent, Del. J.B. Jennings. Prior to joining Redmer’s campaign, Miller was helping coordinate Ehrlich’s campaign for governor in the county.
“Unfortunately, I didn’t have a vote in our endorsements for public office because I was on vacation that week,” Miller told me. “And I didn’t join the Redmer campaign until the week after the endorsement vote. Al earned the endorsement of the club all on his own merits.”
Jennings was previously endorsed by Ehrlich.
