Group's Executive Director is a Republican Candidate for Delegate
Annapolis, MD (September 2, 2010) - Today the Maryland Classified Employees Association (MCEA) is set to endorse Bob Ehrlich for governor, but the head of the organization has a blatant conflict of interest: he's also running with Ehrlich on the Republican ticket.
The MCEA, a voluntary association of correctional offers and other state employees, is not a union designated to do any collective bargaining. The group's Executive Director, David Boschert, is a former Republican Delegate and current Republican candidate for Delegate in Anne Arundel County.
Maryland Democratic Party Chair, Susan Turnbull had this to say about the endorsement, "David Boschert is a candidate on the Republican ticket who also conveniently leads a purportedly non-partisan organization. He stands to benefit from Bob Ehrlich's success, so is it any surprise that his organization endorsed him?"
"It doesn't take much to figure out what backroom deals were made to throw this endorsement to Ehrlich and what empty promises Boschert conveyed to the membership on behalf of one of his buddies."
