Greenip tells Annapolis newspaper she's retiring
Sen. Janet Greenip, who has been in the Maryland General Assembly since 1995, plans to announce in the coming weeks that she will retire with one year left in her term, according to The (Annapolis) Capital.
Her departure not only leaves Sen. Nancy Jacobs as the only woman in the Senate GOP caucus but also sets up a potentially raucous fight to replace her.
Republican delegates looking to move up could include James J. King, Robert A. Costa and Tony McConkey. Other names being floated are Anne Arundel County Council members Edward R. Reilly and Cathleen Vitale.
The Republican state central committee in Greenip's district would select a person to fill the vacancy, forwarding the name to the governor.

I don't know of her, but good for her.
She should be an inspiration to everyone who has served more than 2 terms.

David,
Do the Ehrlich's (misplaced apostrophe intended) live in the district?

I'm gonna find out. They do live in Anne Arundel, near Annapolis.

That's yesterday's news Tom and Joe Steffen originally said they did and recanted when he realized they lived in 30 (John Astle).

No the Ehrlich's do live in Dist 33, right over the District 30 line

The Ehrlichs do live in Annapolis, but a small part of Annapolis that is in 33, district 33B for House purposes, which is Greenip's district.
