Prince George’s Republican Party Announces Twenty-Four Candidates for Fall 2010


Lanham, MD – Today the Prince George’s Republican Central Committee and PG PAC announced its twenty-four Republicans candidates for the fall 2010 elections.

Representing all corners of the county, eight candidates are representing five legislative districts in the election, seven candidates are representing councilmanic and countywide districts, and nine candidates are competing for three congressional districts.

“Republicans are back,” said Mykel Harris, Chairman of the Prince George’s Republican Central Committee. “We look forward to a dynamic election and a show of wins this fall.”

State House Minority Leader Tony O’Donnell stated, “Prince George’s Republican Party is twenty-four strong. These candidates show the power of representation. They want to balance the power in the county and the state.”

Republicans plan to increase the number of incumbents to balance the power in the state and county. Only nine Republicans ran for state or county office in 2006, and sixteen Republicans ran in the general election for state, county, or federal office in 2002. Of the twenty-four candidates on the ballot this year, sixteen will head to the general election for state, county or federal office.

Vice Chairman of the Maryland Republican Party, Louis Pope, stated, “Prince George’s County has fronted a strong slate of candidates for the fall. Counties across the State are concerned about the condition of the State and the nation, and Prince George’s is not exception.”
