Maryland Delegate Lauren Arikan, Republican from District 7 (Baltimore & Harford Counties), joined WMAL's "O'Connor and Company" radio program on Thursday about how ALL of the Republican female lawmakers left the Women Legislators of Maryland after Dems played games with the voting.
Del. Arika also gave us an update about Maryland homeschooling legislation (HB 832) that could cause problems for homeschooling families. She is fighting the push in Annapolis to create a committee to "oversee" homeschooling in Maryland
BACKGROUND: What's thought to be the oldest bipartisan legislative women's group in the nation is no more. All of the Republicans in the Women Legislators of Maryland have resigned after Democrats skipped past a GOP member who was in line to be the group's next president. That member - Delegate Lauren Arikan - calls it a great loss. An informal agreement to allow a GOP member to be president every third year was dashed by Democrats, who outnumber Republican women, 7 to 1 in Annapolis..
