Bowie, MD – Today former Bowie Mayor and Secretary of Planning in the Ehrlich Administration Audrey Scott was overwhelmingly elected Chairman of the Maryland Republican Party by Republican Central Committee members at their convention to serve the remainder of former Chairman Jim Pelura’s term that expires at the end of 2010.
Scott, a party activist for years, was excited by the Republican prospects in 2010. “I thank the members of the central committees for giving me the opportunity to strengthen our party and make us competitive in all Maryland races next year,” said Scott. “There is a wave for change building. Recent Republican victories from the top of the ticket down including those in Virginia and New Jersey clearly show that voters are tired of governments at all levels playing poker on wasteful projects while turning to taxpayers to cover the table stakes. In Maryland, Republicans need to catch the wave and become the agents for change that voters are demanding.”
Scott has run for office ten times and elected six including three times as the Mayor of Bowie. She gained national attention in 1981 when she ran against Steny Hoyer for an open U.S. House seat. Hoyer won by a small percentage. She has been actively involved in Republican politics in a number of areas from a foot soldier at the grassroots level to precinct and campaign chairman to an outstanding fundraiser. In 1981, Scott was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, where she served for 12 years as General Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Office of Community Planning and Development and, in the George H.W. Bush administration, as a Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Office of Congressional Relations.
“When I ran for governor, (Audrey) was one of the most solid people in my campaign and I could always count on her,” said former Maryland House of Delegates Minority Leader and gubernatorial candidate Ellen Sauerbrey. “She’s not a person who tells you something and you have to worry about it. If Audrey tells you it’s going to get done, it gets done.”
“She knows the issues; she knows the players and she is someone who is dedicated to winning next year and bringing us together,” said Louis Pope, National Committeeman from Maryland,
