Haddaway & Eckardt to Address Young Republicans


Delegates Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio and Addie Eckardt will be featured speakers at the Mid Shore Young Republicans club meeting on Wednesday, May 26th. The event will take place at 7pm upstairs at Carpenter Street in St. Michaels, Maryland. Senator Richard Colburn has also been invited.

Haddaway-Riccio was the founder and first President of the Mid Shore Young Republicans in 2002. The club formed to get more young people involved in the political process and to help conservative candidates with their campaigns. While the group started as the Talbot Young Republicans, they changed their name to Mid Shore Young Republicans after a few meetings because attendees were coming from Dorchester and Caroline Counties as well. In light of the coming elections, the group is getting active again.

“I think it is very important to engage young people in politics because they are our future. Many of them have the desire to do good things in their communities and they bring a fresh perspective with them,” Haddaway-Riccio said. “Delegate Eckardt and I are looking forward to meeting with them next Wednesday”.
