To no real surprise, State Senator Joe Getty (R-5) was appointed by Governor-Elect Hogan to serve as his chief legislative officer. We certainly hope Senator Getty has great success in advancing the Hogan agenda in the legislature.
Senator Getty’s appointment, however, will leave his state Senate seat vacant. We urge the Carroll County Republican central committee to appoint Delegate Justin Ready to replace him. While there are other fine candidates, we here at Red Maryland have been huge supporters of Delegate Ready for years and believe he is the most qualified and most capable replacement for Senator Getty to represent his district in the State Senate and to challenge the Mike Miller agenda.
Here is what we have written about Delegate Ready in the past,
Delegate Ready would be the same, committed and effective leader in the State Senate and that is why Red Maryland enthusiastically supports his appointment to replace Senator Joe Getty.
