Commissioner Richard Rothschild Will Not Seek 3rd Term

Westminster, Maryland,  Monday, February 26th, 2018 - Commissioner Richard Rothschild today announced he will not seek another governmental office in this year's election.

Rothschild said, "I voted for term limits, and intend to keep my word. I trust the 73% that elected me, will remember me with two words: PROMISES-KEPT”

His list of accomplishments include:

•           Championed efforts to preserve the rural fabric of Carroll County;

•           Lowered taxes, while-reducing long-term bonded debt by $85 million (25.6%).

•           Said “NO” to the Rain Tax;

•           Wrote Maryland’s first comprehensive nullification resolution, declaring Carroll to be a 2nd                     Amendment Sanctuary County;

•           Blocked federal attempts to relocate illegal aliens to Carroll County;

•           First U.S. official to purge a U.N. planning program from government. More than 120                              governments nationwide followed the lead;

•           Founding member of Maryland’s first Rural Counties Coalition;

•           Extracted Carroll from a misguided $240 million incinerator with minimal penalties;

•           Focused regional attention on the Conowingo Dam as a source of Bay pollution.

“Most importantly,” said Rothschild, “I’ve shown ‘Republi-Can’ts’ how to fight-back against overwhelming odds; and will work through other organizations to help train the next generation of ‘Republi-Cans’.”
