Gordana Schifanelli is a successful attorney and adjunct professor of Law and Economics at the United States Naval Academy. She came to America from war-torn Yugoslavia in 1999 and is now a U.S. citizen.

Gordana and her husband Marc, a disabled American Veteran, now retired, who spent 22 years as the Army Special Forces Officer, have a strong history together of fighting for America and our freedom.  They are small business owners here in Maryland.

In her gracious acceptance, Gordana said: “I have seen the evils of communism unfold before my eyes.  I’ve lived it for 28 years and I am watching the same evil creeping into our schools and communities.  Our teachers, parents, children, soldiers, first responders, and seniors deserve to remain free from invasion of their bodily integrity, coercion to conformity, threats and duress attacking their livelihood, only for the sake of control by the very government our Founders have fought to limit.

“As your Lt. Governor, I pledge to uphold our Constitution with its Bill of Rights and Maryland’s Declaration of Rights as our supreme law of the land; to be the voice of our past settlers and immigrants, who, like myself, didn’t come to America and Maryland from wealth and privilege, but came and continue to come and see this land as the land of the free and home of the brave!”

Gordana founded Kent Island Patriots, LLC where she successfully organized the entire community, secured a historic win of their write-in candidates in 2020 election year and replaced several positions at the Queen Anne’s County Board of Education, including the Superintendent.

Gordana and her husband Marc, who has deep Annapolis roots, live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and have three children, the oldest of whom has accepted a commission in the U.S. Army.

Frederick, Md (KM) A Frederick Police officer and former member of the House of Delegates is running again. Bill Folden has filed  run as a Republican in the 4th District. He served at a  Delegate for District 3B from 2015-2019.

Folden says he’s concerned about police reform bills passed by the 2021 General Assembly which could make it more difficult for police officers to do their jobs. “When we got law enforcement officers that we want to defund, they want to take money away from. We don’t have the tools that we need currently. And we can’t be in a position to provide services to the community that we all love with even less,” he says.

Calls for police reform began last year following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, which was captured and video and posted l on line where it went viral. .   That sparked demonstrations all over the country, and calls to defund the police.

The police officer involved in Floyd’s death,  Derek Chauvin, was convicted, and  sentenced to more than 22-ears in prison.

The police reform bills past in 2021 by the Maryland Legislature repeal the Law Enforcement Officer’s Bill of Rights, call for a statewide policy on the use of force  and  limit the use of no-knock warrants.  They also  expand   public access to records in police disciplinary cases,  and require  all police departments to use body cameras by July, 2025.

While serving along the East German and Czechoslovakian borders, he witnessed the end of the Cold War and thereafter deployed to Iraq for Operation Desert Storm (1991) to liberate Kuwait. His regiment led the attack against Saddam’s elite Republican Guard forces. Doug went on to serve in Washington, DC, the 3rd Infantry Division and US Army Europe.  After 9/11, Mastriano was the lead planner for the operation to invade Iraq via Turkey.  He served four years with NATO and deployed three times to Afghanistan.  Mastriano was the director of NATO’s Joint Intelligence Center in Afghanistan, leading 80 people from 18 nations.  On his own initiative, Doug led seven relief operations to help Afghan orphans.  He completed his career as a Professor of the U.S. Army War College (PAWC), Carlisle, PA, and taught Strategic Studies at the Master Degree level to the next generation of senior leaders.

Mastriano is a Doctor of History (PhD) and has four master’s degrees: Strategy, Strategic Intelligence, Military Operations, and Airpower.  He earned a BA from Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania and was the alumnus of the year in 2009.   He led the search to locate where America’s greatest WW I hero, Alvin York, received the Medal of Honor and led the construction of a three mile trail, with two monuments and nine markers in the Argonne Forest of France.  He published 30 articles on strategy and historic topics and authored the book Alvin York: A New Biography of the Hero of the Argonne which received four awards. His new book, Thunder in the Argonne is the first to tell the complete story of America’s largest battle, the 1918 Meuse-Argonne Campaign.  Doug’s next book, Pershing’s Lieutenants, was just released and is an edited work that focuses on the leadership style of American officers in the First World War.

Mastriano has appeared on Tucker Carlson, C-Span, numerous national radio programs (John Batchelor Show, Eric Metaxas Show) and on Fox Business with Stuart Varney.  He retired from the U.S. Army in November 2017 after 30 years of active duty as a Colonel.  In 2018, he was a candidate for Pennsylvania’s 13th U.S. Congressional District, where he overwhelmingly won Franklin and Fulton Counties and placed 3rd (of 8 candidates) in Adams and Cumberland Counties. 

Doug is married to Rebecca (Stewart), whose ancestors settled this region of Pennsylvania in 1732.  Rebecca was a chaplain with Marketplace Ministries at Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe. Their son Josiah is a graduate of Liberty University, and an Eagle Scout, Canadian Chief Scout and recipient of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards.

Mastriano is an active member of his church and resides near Caledonia State Park, Pennsylvania. 

Mastriano was elected to serve as the Senator for Pennsylvania’s 33rd District in May 2019, which includes all of Adams County, most of Franklin County and parts of Cumberland and York Counties.   Mastriano has thirty years of experience building teams to get the job done.  He has dedicated his life to fighting for freedom, defending our families and serving the people of this great land.
