Open-Ended response questions:Brinkley is a baby Killer!

Could you tell us what each of the candiates stand on 4 issues? 1)Obamacare 2)Rain tax 3)Smaller government 3)Transgender bill that was recently passed. Are they in favor or against? I do not know what each of the candiates you are giving me stand for and you are asking me to vote for them. Where does Dan Bongino fits in in this poll? H.Vidal, Catonsville, MD [email protected]

Good poll

Heather Mizeur is by far the easiest libtard to beat in the general election!

Your endorsement of hogan is laughable at best

We have to repeal the bathroon bill.

I would prefer Allen West for President.

Vote Ryan Miner for Washington County Board of Education (Yes, this is Ryan Miner writing this comment)

Lollar would be a disaster as a candidate for governor Dem's will slam him hard for him being unemployed and ineptitude

Go Bob!

Go Bob!

Conservative Refuge Radio Rocks!

You need to add District 32 to this!!

What is mdgop plan to stop Maryland from Electoral College voting in presidential election for winner of national popular vote? This is an end run around the Constitution and violates the intent of the Electoral College.

No

No

Get religion out of the GOP, it's going to get more Democrats elected.

It'd be nice if there were more questions I could answer. I can never vote in any of the races because they don't apply to me although I did see some new races this month.

District 6 frederick congress Bongino , boot out John D.

Lollar for Governor!!!!!!!!!!!

Rand Paul

Lets please make a difference this year. To where the gov. Is actually for the working people not against them !!!

omally suck's!!!

Please get rid of Owe Malley

We need to keep Szeliga, McDonough and Impallaria in the House.

Keep Szeliga in the House.

A poll for MD4 would be good in the next one. Hoyt for the win

I want to know your views on gun control

If Republicans are not elected come that time and things do not change, Right A Way!!, We will be leaving this state, I don't even care if my property sells, I will let the bank take it! That is how angry I am. Especially when in my area, where the housing market is still down, I have lost the equity I had in my home but yet the taxes continue to rise and we cannot even see what the county uses the taxes for because nothing is done for our area!!

I would vote for Greg Holmes for 4th Congressional District.

WIN.

Real conservative - focus on financial issues - libertarianism to bring in youth and bridge to other traditionally voting dem groups

Lollar sux!

Being republican does not make you a conservative. We need more Libertarians.

Run a poll on Delegate District 29A - Thanks!

Hogan is the only conservative that can win and push tax and spending cuts through the blue house and senate.

Our country is sick ... It needs a Doctor ... Ben Carson, I hope he runs.

The Republicans better wake up and stop playing patty cake with the Democrats. Right now I see very little difference between the two. It's time to return to upholding the constitution.

Nope

The only candidates I will and have supported financially are Robbin Grammar, Mitch Toland and Eric Knowles.

Where are the city elections. Please stop writing off the city

I vote for conservatives, with a recommendation from the NRA.

Lots - But it does no good.

Steve Schuch is such a joke!

I am a registered republican but I do not vote party, I vote on a persons record, and what I understand they stand for, unfortunately in Maryland you have to be one or the other, I prefer to call myself an American with the right to vote period

WIN!

Leo Dymowski for Attorney General

I dont see information about republican candidates in print or video media until close to election times...so I usually have a short period of time to review candidate histories and voting records. As I am unemployed..with a BS and an MS, with huge school debt....I will be looking much harder at candidates this year. I am also a registered republican who is very unhappy with inbred maryland political landscape.

if I had it my way I would get rid of every republican in the state of Maryland, I mean at least I know what im getting with the dems but really with the republicans im stuck with in this state I should just vote for the dems. we finally get a republican gov and he taxes me for flushing my toilet, robbin grammer will get my support this election but if he takes the vote for granted next time he will just lose my support

Restore the 2nd Amendment!

The Maryland GOP needs more diversity and leaders like Laura Neuman

We need a third party.

Most of these people are virtual unknowns, so giving them a vote will be difficult at best. As usual, with the Republican party, they have failed to get themselves known and have failed to get their message out, loud and clear. Tell me what you stand for. I need to know who you are.

You guys are always fun - keep workin it.

I'm going to go smoke a cigar....

Thanks for all you do for our conservative cause in Maryland!

STOP BEING "BUDDIES" TO THE DNC AND GROW A SET OF BALLS,OUST THE RINOS.

Every nominee you folks put up better have repealing the SB-281 Gun Ban of 2013 as their TOP priority or I'm staying home in November.

I'm SICK AND TIRED of supporting and voting for Republicans in MD who won't stand up and DEMAND we stop this gun banning bullshit. Dwyer and Smiegel are the ONLY Republicans worth a damn as far as I'm concerned - because they actually care about the issue instead of taking my vote for granted.

Any Republican candidate that utters the phrases "I support the rights of hunters" or "common sense gun laws" needs to be tarred, feathered and run out on a rail. The Second Amendment isn't about duck hunting - it's about the people having the means to have a very lethal veto pen for dealing with elected tyranny. And "common sense gun control" just tells me that the person who uttered that phrase thinks they and their bodyguards should have a gun - but I shouldn't.

I expect the state party officials will ignore this, as they have up until now, and campaign on the same tired, lame-assed Dogma that have lost them elections statewide for 8 years now.

But I'm through voting for someone just because they're a Republican and are therefore a better choice than democrat. Fuck that. I'll stay home or vote third-party next time. If you people don't start getting LOUD about repealing last years gun ban, then I'm DONE with your party.

Jamie Falcon is a great Republican that I recommend for any position that he seeks. For instance, he went after the Immigration and Naturalization Agency for leaning towards the Democratic Party when they invited speakers to welcome our new naturalized citizens; The speakers subtly recommended the Democratic Party to the new citizens. Because of the efforts of Jamie Falcon, I am hoping that practice by agency has stopped now that they know someone is watching.

Larry Hogan for Governor!

I aim to support vocal pro-2A candidates first and foremost.

How 'bout district 31 A?

Show up for Operation American Spring on May 16th in DC if you are serious about saving our Republic. If not aware "Goggle It".

Recent voter registration from Libertarian to Republican are RINOS. They have no real concern for good government, only for publicity.

Good Luck, I wish all repbuican candiates success but I do not see anything major happening. The state is too liberal and ignorant. They the democrats will vote for the devil if there is a D next to their name. The Republicans lost Maryland a long time ago. Poor planning and shame on the Repulicans for letting this happen. My house is going up for sale within the next three years. the democrats that i know complain about taxes yet they vote for the same fools every election cycle. I give up. they are brain dead.

Nope!

I am not "undecided" about anything but I am not familiar w/those running in districts other than my own - which is hopelessly blue!

1. When did Lollar move out of his campaign headquarters? He hosted a Christmas party at the office, and now his campaign is housed out of a Waldorf PO Box.

I hope Red Maryland closely scrutinize Lollar's Campaign finance reports. Where exactly is all the money going?

I wish the Republican Party could make the people of Maryland understand , how many bad laws were passes by our legislation this session .. Everyone who voted for the rain-tax, transgender bill, minimum wage ... Should be voted out .. It isn't any wonder why so many home grown Marylanders are movin to other states...... We own a tavern and catering hall and after this session , we are selling after 58 years of business in Essex Md ... Our state for some ungodly reason is trying to put Ma and Pop business out of business .... The very heart of how this country was formed on ... Shame on our Gov and his influence on OUR legislators .... Thanks from a very sad Marylander ..

Vote out all the Dems , have term limits

Time to end this massively destructive administration!

I do not know anything about most of the candidates (haven't even HEARD of them), so I'd be able to make an informed voting decision without research.

No, but good luck to you sir!

No

I hate all the HUGE Brown Ulman signs around Howard County! There should be a restriction on how big those signs can be. Ridiculous! Please get us some Hogan signs here!

Win Big, Mr. Hogan

I will vote for the most conservative candidate. Vocal opposition to liberalism/socialism is more inspiring than someone who wants to work with people Hell bent on destroying liberty and the Constitution

Stop taxing us and bring Maryland a state in which we can afford to live

Pls add Romney to present choices

Need more info on these people running

I would like to see Ben Carson run for president.

Take back our government and don't screw up if you get there.

The Party should endorse Schuh IN THE PRIMARY. I have spent weeks tring to learn Laura Neuman's connection to the Party, and I cannot discern any. She has never voted in a GOP primary, never supported a GOP candidate, and never endorsed a GOP candidate. The Party should know who its members are, and no one in the Party has any party organization connection to Laura Neuman. If being in the Party means anything, the Party should endorse its own, and not stay on the sidelines in observance of a policy on not endorsing in the Primary. We need to wake up now, and not let a person who merely signed up as a Republican, but who was elected by Democrats on the County Council, and who has no history or connection to the Party, infiltrate our organization. If we do nothing, we are being used, and we are fools.

In MD Dist. 33.

Hard to make any choice in 38 and 38a with unopposed candidates

What happens when you try to devolve back to the horse you jumped off?

What is the plan to turn MD red???

Tommy McKay for Delegate 29A

Craig lost me when he promised that the income tax would be eliminated on day one... you'd think a career politician would know state law.

I tend to think I'm relatively up on politics. Having not heard of most of the candidates proves I need to do my homework. Knowing most of my friends, I guarantee they've never heard of these folks either. Just sayin... Go Hogan

Change the hand gun law to carry and lower the property tax.

I hope that Mr. Hogan can prevail against the empty suit ,Anthony Brown

Writing in Mike Miller for Governor. All of them suck and have no shot.

Candidates need to be more visible, in the area.

Hit the current administration in Annapolis hard on all the tax increases and their wasteful spending (example - all the money squandered on the failed Healthcare web site)

Lower taxes, cut spending, less govt, legalize marijuana

Lower taxes, less govt, cut spending

I'm very suspicious of all politicians in Maryland at this stage of my life.

Go Larry Hogan go

i will vote for every nominated republican in the november

election

You did not ask about LD 29A, it is a three way race for the republican primary. I support Tommy Mckay!

still looking for Ben Carson

.

Change Maryland

Sentence structure in #6 is awkward.

The smear campaign has not started on the Eastern Shore yet.

Hello Larry, this is Brian Steuart. You know I will vote for you. Good luck!!!!

Maryland is the 7th wost state in the nation in which to retire!

I am a democrat that will vote GOP

I barely know any of these people, and those that I do like Dwyer are a disgrace to our party.

Republican party needs to avoid social issues, focus on the economy and jobs, and a way to correct ACA. They will not win Pres. election if they don't.

If Larry Hogan wants to have a chance to win in November, he MUST form a third party for Democrats to vote on. A large number of registered Democrats will NEVER vote for any Republican. I myself am registered as an Independent.

Many of the names you listed are many that I am not familiar with... I guess I better get started on doing my research.

I really don't know enough about the candidates listed from Questions 7 through 15 to make a more informed, unbiased, solid decision when voting. They need to be more pro-active in getting their names, causes and agendas out there!

Get out of the ACA, recend the unconstitutional gun law, make English our first and ONLY language, stop illegals from getting ANY benefits (drivers licenses, education, social security, unemployment, etc), end common core, deports all illegals, make rape and pedaphilia a capital offense, and bring back the death penalty!

We need strong Republican candidates that espouse true conservative values

For the first time in my life I feel that my vote will not make a difference in how local, state and federal gov't are run.

Susana Martinez 2016

Susana Martinez 2016

Move the Primary back to Sept! ;-)

I am not in any of the district listed above to that you are asking for my opinion on the people running that office.

bring us pragmatic, non ideological candidates like Huntsman or Jeb Bush so we can reclaim MD from the statists. Please. THANKS

For District 37B I would support John Mautz

As I am from Montgomery County (19th District) I really do not know that much about the other candidates running from other counties for the House of Delegates or Anne Arundel Executive.

Never heard of most of these people. Why don't you publish their resumes and platforms in a booklet so that we can decide reasonably?

Get your act together

GO LARRY, GO!!!

Widen the tent, lower taxes and spending, and protect our constitutional rights!

I'm prayin' for David...would be a refreshing, great Governor.

David Craig is the most qualified candidate on both sides and would do the best job.

Still would write in Ben Carson

Big deal with MTA holding 22 million grant for 3 years and no action.

Spending on environmental surveys, anyone in Cecil or Harford get a

Chance to bid. Big deal re licensing of Conowingo Dam. Environmentalist all over the place.BEWARE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. Ruining Marylands economy. PlanMaryland violates the 5th Amendment, Marylands gun laws violates 2nd Amendment. Obama violates 1st Amendment , improper use of IRS. Run against O'Malley/ Brown record , forget about other candidates.

I am interested in a smaller Gov. The 2nd amendment, Reduced taxes, politicians that are tougher

on crime (criminals need to stay in prison especially violent and sexual offenders), I am opposed to illegal immigration to which MD seems to have become a safe haven for. Economic growth for our state. If MD stays the course of what we have now I will most likely move to another state when I have the opportunity.

Why no TV ads. Tired of Dems BS ads. We need to take back MD Gov., State & House

Why isn't the 6th Congressional Primary listed? I would vote for Dan Bongino.

Also, I am an Independent but had to change my affiliation to Republican in order to vote for Larry Hogan in the upcoming Primary in June.

Restore common sense to Annapolis. Repeal SB 281 who can I vote for thats conservative in Montgomery County?

It's too late now, but a Craig/Hogan or Hogan/Craig ticket, would have been great!

beat brochin

Prefer Tea Party Candidates, not middle of the road... No Bush types.

no

Constitutional Carry is the ONLY gun law that's CONSTITUTIONAL.

Not at this time.

Make sure Republicans win!

What about Trey Gowdy and Lt Col. Allen West? The chances I would vote for any of these others for President is slim to none.

My wife and I are part of the 47% that would leave MD if we could. Second generation MDers, we planned to retire here & built our home with this in mind, but the continual tax and fee increases are threatening the saving and planning we have worked on for over 40 years. God bless us with success.

How can I get bumper stickers?

Poll needs to be focused on only those candidates poll takers are eligible to vote for (by districts).

Lets finally throw these liberal idiots out of office and exercise some fiscal restraint, change the current gun ban and eliminate the "stupid shit" taxes! I just bought a house in southern PA & I'm undecided which one I will rent or sell and which one I will live in. Don't make me move because I will in a heartbeat and give myself a $1000/month raise in the process. If Brown wins, I'm out for good! Thanks so much OweMalley (and your brain-dead little dingleberry assistant)

None of this concerns me anymore... I'm moving out of this GAY LIBERAL state.

Repeal SB 281 people control bill.

I am a Maryland DINO (Democrat In Name Only), hoping that we can vote out the good old boys and restore respectability to our state.

Best of luck in the primary!

Just moved back to Maryland last October. I need to do my homework. The only thing I'm sure of is Larry Hogan.

The assault weapons ban was completely illogical, get a good Republican in house to stop these "progressives" from progressively destroying our country.

Please remain Conservative!

Republicans need to get out of the middle and back to the conservative right.

Get that git out of office now, please. He's killing this state.

Please get the Democrats out. Otherwise I am leaving Maryland. I am tired of a one party state.

MD is the worst place to operate a company!

Vote for a republican.

Vote for a republican.

Go Larry , the state is in need of serious help

I missed the early Saturday morning debate on the 3rd but my Governor's vote is between Craig or Hogan. Still waiting on the next debate.

Good luck,there are 4 or 5 counties your gonna have a battle in.The 2A citizens can carry you to a victory in this state,just let them know where you stand.

I cast so many undecided votes because they are not my district. Also, Lil is my late wife. My name is Kenneth

BEST OF LUCK, PUSH ALL THE TAXES THE DEMS PASEED AND THE LACK OF FREEDOM ON THE GUN LAWS!

We need to make sure that our Republican nominee is clean with no scandals either personal, financial, or political that can come out and ruin his chances.

Maryland is taxing us right out of the state. Its getting too expensive to live here or do business here.

back the strong conservatives instead of the wantabes

Simply it is time for representation for the majority of Marylanders, not just those who benefit from the democrat's gerrymandering. Return the district lines back, so we can get our state back from the destruction.

Help us "Save the North Point Government Center park," our 27.8 acre Baltimore County park. This would be a precedent setter being the first time a park is sold for commercial redevelopment.

THANK YOU!

Where's Dan Bongino?!

Please save our state from these liberals.

Brad Pumphrey for Republican Central Committee - District 31B !!!

If Craig can get elected and makes good on his campaign promises, I won't have to retire in North Carolina.

You guys love lollar

Republican Party in Maryland is out of touch and irrelevant to the voting public

I would like to know your stance on the 2nd amendment. Thank you.

It's incredibly frustrating to be a conservative republican in the state of Maryland. I vote in all elections just to vote against the liberal machine.

Nope

Brian Griffiths in 2018!

Hogan beats Brown in November

Why doesn't the GOP do something about Hogan filtering $$$Thousands through various businesses and Change Maryland to his campaign. If he's doing this now, what will he do as Governor?

I can't believe only 47% said they wanted to move

wish Mitt was included!
