don't know since Change Maryland is not specifically a "conservative" org.

My nominee for this organization is the anti-gun consultants who did those guns in
schoolyards ads for Brown. Now, the brunt of every joke in MD. As in: Now that Hogan is
governor, where's my machine gun? Even my liberal friends are getting in on it.

Really? Do y'all still need this category? Sack up boys, integrity matters.
Senate GOP

15. Open-Ended

In St. Mary's County MD, EVERY Republican on the ballot won their election. You should
consider a story about this accomplishment, and get the word of this accomplishment
more widely distributed not only in the state, but the country as well.
CYAA
Can you put Gary Johnson in the poll? Since you have unrealistic names in there maybe
you could add one more. Open Primaries as well.
I appreciate Red Maryland's critical help in electing a Republican governor.

We need good campaign managers for every candidate on the state senate & delegate
level. If the activists & candidates had worked together as a team more, the Republican
tide could've helped a few more conservative candidates into office!
You're doing a great job !
Let's support Governor Elect Hogan and let him know that he must not abandon his
base and appoint a bunch of Democrats to his cabinet and staff like Ehrlich did to think it
would help him get re-elected. We seen how that worked..
many trial balloons for not ready for primetime candidates
Katie Nash should become a democrat.
Katie Nash and Corey stottlemyer are the worst political couple in md, two years, two
losses.
We need to keep pushing the conservative agenda. It's what people want! Especially the
fight against illegal immigration.
It would be nice to have a Best Maryland Conservative Campaign Volunteer category.
The MCGOP ran an unfilled slate of candidates, did nothing to promote them, and lost
every election miserably. The MCGOP Chair should resign and let someone else do it. In
fact, every incumbent should resign from MCGOP.

Republican party must build on the current gains by deliberately attracting minorities
into our party. Otherwise, this will only be short lived just like the time of Bob Erhlick.
Thanks
Clean up the central committee.
stop giving tax dollars to illegals
Great to see Hogan's victory. I think district 46 in Baltimore City could be ripe to gain a
republican candidate here for Delegate or Senator. Lots of moderates in places like
Federal Hill, Locust Point and Canton.
Add Ben Carson to the list of options for the "At this moment, who would be your first
choice to be the Republican Nominee for US Senate in 2016?" question.
