Kelly Schulz, the head of Maryland’s Commerce Department, announced Wednesday she will seek the Republican nomination in the state’s 2022 governor’s race.
Schulz is the first Republican and first woman to enter the race.
“I’m running for governor so we can continue to build upon all of our past successes and fulfill the great promise and potential of our state,” she wrote in an online announcement. “Together, we can get Marylanders working, help our struggling families and small businesses, and restore and strengthen our economy.”
Maryland’s Commerce Department is the state’s main economic development agency, which has been focusing on providing financial assistance to Maryland businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Schulz is a former member of the Maryland House of Delegates, representing Frederick County. She joined Republican Gov. Larry Hogan’s administration in 2015 to lead the state’s labor department.
Meanwhile, Republican Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford announced he has decided not to run.

Would gladly vote for her. The only hold back is will she be another Larry “ADOLPH” Hogan and turn Democrat when voted in.
As long as she’s not a rhino ?
Since she’s connected to hitler Hogan I’m not interested
I know Kelly Shulz. . She thinks her $hit doesn’t stink. This is just a dumb ploy from Dirk Haire and the State GOP hoping the dumb voters will fall for the “Minority candidates.” The plan is to support women candidates only so that GOP money will fund Dirk Haire’s wife who is going to run for Ann Arundel County Executive. She is currently a council member for Ann Arundel County and he is the Chair of the GOP so this is a major deflection so people won’t question why hundreds of thousands of State GOP funds are being spent on Dirk Haire’s wife’s campaign.
Don’t fall for it people. Stay woke!
She is Good Eye Candy !!!! Is she from Hazard County like Daisy Dukes ???
Can she be bought by Democrats ????
