Chairman Message

To my fellow Republicans and concerned Calvert residents,

The Republican Party has a history of arguing about HOW to fight the left, while never actually getting around to the fight itself.  We watch daily as our American Values (Life, Liberty, Equality, Rule of Law, Pursuit of Happiness) come under attack.  We must set aside our differences and join together to fight:  higher taxes, polarized educational system, racial divisions, leftist ideology, high density building, increased crime, and environmental impacts to the Bay.  

Our mission at the Calvert County Republican Central Committee (CCRCC) is to:

  • Find and support candidates who best represent Calvert Republican Values

  • Support our Republican elected officials to enact and protect those Values

  • Listen/advocate/be a voice for our Calvert Community  

We have learned that we cannot rely on the federal government or the state to fix Calvert County problems, WE MUST FIX THEM!  The CCRCC team is dedicated to delivering wins for Calvert: exposing the CCPS budget slush fund, maintaining the Republican voter registration lead, and a 2022 virtual sweep of electing Republican candidates to county positions (Sheriff, State Attorney, Treasurer, 5 Commissioners, and 2 Board of Education (BOE) members).  We do have differences of thought; we are not like leftwing Democrats; we embrace free thinking.  Steel sharpens steel, debate is a virtue, division is the Left's weapon of choice; we must unify in order to WIN!  Unify around our Core Calvert Values!  The fight is here and now; we didn't ask for it but together we have to be the ones to answer the call.

The CCRCC looks forward to being stewards of the county: with you and for you!  The #1 priority is taking back the schools for our children and grandchildren.  We need to carry forward the victories of 2022, when we went 2 for 2 electing conservative Board of Education members.  This year it is vital we go 3 for 3 in electing and holding all 5 BOE positions!  The night is darkest before the dawn, dawn is coming!  

Fighting and winning is what we have done but the fight isn't over.  Freedom is not free!  We also need your support!  Whether it's your time or your money, we ALL must contribute to maintain our Calvert Values!   

Sincerely,

Josh Johnson, CCRCC Chairman

Dems Raise $350 Million in Taxes, $90 Million Fees

It seems that Democrats in Annapolis have lost their minds. This year, they’ve:

  • Raised Taxes by $350 Million and Fees by $90 Million.

  • Passed Policies that Cause Energy Inflation.

  • Attacked the Second Amendment with Excessive Fees & Regulation.

  • Prioritized Illegals Over Citizens Through Healthcare, Tuition, & more.

  • Required Gender Neutral Language in the General Assembly.

Not sure what you think, but I believe that Democrats are destroying the United States!

 So, how do we stop this insanity?

 Please join me and like-minded adults, so that we can discuss real solutions.

 This is why I respectfully ask for your attendance at my Campaign Kickoff Backyard BBQ on May 5th, 2024, from 3 - 8 PM. Great food, great company & great conversation amongst fellow Patriots!

Deborah Brocato, R.N.

Chair, Health Not Harm MD

Deborah Brocato is a lifelong resident of Maryland. She and her husband, also a Maryland native, have raised 4 daughters in Harford County. Deborah is a retired Intensive Care Unit nurse who has taken that knowledge to serve the community in other capacities. She volunteered at a pregnancy center for over 8 years and has worked to advocate for children and their families for 30 years. Deborah lobbies in Annapolis as an individual and for Maryland Right to Life on family and healthcare issues. She organized the petition drive by Campaign to Protect Women to oppose the Abortion Care Access Act which removed the physician requirement from providing abortions. Now, Deborah registered the Ballot Issue Committee, Health Not Harm MD for the purpose of defeating the deceptive “Reproductive Freedom” amendment.

We are Republican because…

 

WE BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.

WE BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.

We BELIEVE  free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity. 

WE BELIEVE  government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn. 

WE BELIEVE  the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least. 

WE BELIEVE  the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people. 

WE BELIEVE  Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times. 

WE BELIEVE  Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world. 

FINALLY, WE BELIEVE  the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.
