Tony O’Donnell, Minority Leader of the Maryland House of Delegates and candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Maryland’s 5th Congressional District, issued a statement from the floor of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.Candidate O’Donnell is a Delegate in the Maryland Delegation to the Republican National Convention.This will be his fifth national convention which is held every four years in various cities across the nation.

O’Donnell said, “I’m excited about being in Tampa and to vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as the respective Republican Presidential and Vice-Presidential nominees.   Tampa and the surrounding communities have opened their arms to the convention participants for a very important part of American political history.  The coming election will be about the future of this nation.  Will we be a nation of limited government with enduring greatness and prosperity or will we continue to slide into mediocrity and government handouts?”

Some of the themes to be highlighted in Tampa will be restoring America’s economic greatness and the jobs this will create, creating a national energy policy focusing on North American energy independence, and reforming government overspending to diminish our crippling national debt.  Delegate O’Donnell is pleased to represent Maryland in this process at the RNC and will work to restore America’s position as the economic leader of the world.  It’s time!
