Maryland: Robert Mckee

Elizabeth A. Jones has worked as a legislative aide to Del. Christopher Shank (R-2B) for six years. In that time, Jones told PolitickerMD.com that the current minority whip has “constantly relied” on her “to be by his side” providing assistance. Among other responsibilities, Jones said she has helped to draft bills and answer constituent phone calls during her time with the delegate.

PolitickerMD.com has learned that the Washington County Republican Central Committee will release the names of those candidates who have filed to fill the open state delegate seat later today.

“We were going to check the PO Box today just in case there was any late ones that met the postmark requirement,” committee member Corey Stottlemyer said.

John Flynn, the Executive Director of the Maryland Republican Party, and David Paulson, the Communications Director of the Maryland Democratic Party, reacted to the scandal surrounding the resignation of Del. Robert A. McKee (R-Hagerstown), during interviews this afternoon with PolitickerMD.com. McKee resigned after authorities conducted a raid of his home amid allegations that the delegate possessed material related to child pornography.
