Annapolis, MD – On Tuesday, Jan. 10 Maryland House of Delegates Republicans unanimously re-elected Delegate Nic Kipke and Delegate Kathy Szeliga to serve as House Minority Leader and House Minority Whip. Delegates Kipke and Szeliga have served in these leadership rolls since 2013.

โ€œI am honored to have the continued support of my colleagues,โ€ said Kipke. โ€œWe are so fortunate to have such a fantastic group of leaders in our Caucus with diverse backgrounds, careers, and experiences. They all work tremendously hard to better the lives of those they represent. I am grateful for their confidence and for the opportunity to serve with them. We have a great task ahead of us as we work with Governor Hogan to bring common sense back to Annapolis.โ€

โ€œThe coming legislative session looks to be a contentious one,โ€ said Delegate Kathy Szeliga. โ€œThe Democratic majority is furious that Governor Hogan is so popular and theyโ€™re focused on ignoring their own constituents by undermining the good work he has done for our state. Our members are ready to help Governor Hogan fight for common-sense solutions to the challenges our state faces.โ€
