Louise joined RWBC eight years ago and quickly found her niche on the membership and hospitality committees. Shortly thereafter, she joined the social media team. She previously served as Vice President under Jolie McShane and just completed her two year first term as President.
​
After a career as a social worker in foster care and adoptions, Louise chose to stay at home to raise her four children. Her family now includes 4 grand-babies. Louise resides in Sparks with her husband of 34 years who is a financial advisor and runs a community-based market garden from their home.

Sophia Montgomery

Sophia has been an active member for 9 years and continues to be inspired by this remarkable group of deplorable women and men.
Raising awareness of RWBC activities and promoting effective club management were her priorities as chair of bylaws/ membership committees.

As a second generation conservative activist (thank you Dad!!) , Sophia is secretary for Eastside Baltimore County Republican Club and alternate with Baltimore County Republican Central Committee.
As Chesapeake Gateway Chamber of Commerce's past president, she advocates for East Baltimore County business development.

Cindy Swim
2nd Vice President
Cindy is a life-long Maryland resident of Baltimore, Prince George’s, (The People’s Republic of) Montgomery, and Harford Counties. She, husband Allen, and daughter Katie joined RWBC in 2022 believing the country was going the wrong way, feeling increasingly powerless, and wanting to "do something" about it. They immediately embraced the welcoming RWBC community and engaged in committee work on voter canvassing, election judging, and cleansing public school curricula.
​
In 2024, Cindy happily accepted the President’s request to assist the Secretary in greeting members & speakers at meetings, and also began providing critical tech support to the Fundraising Chair at “Dinner and a Movie” events. Cindy accepted maintenance of the Member Directory in 2025.
​
While thrilled to have War Secretary Hegseth & Commander-in-Chief Trump as her bosses, Cindy accepted their 31 Dec 2025 Deferred Retirement offer, as a Supervisory Electronics Engineer with nearly 40 years of US Army Civilian Federal service. A fervent believer in “teamwork makes the dream work,” Cindy looks forward to joining this passionate team of Officers.

Past President
Jolie enthusiastically joined the Republican Women of Baltimore County after discovering a group of like-minded women and the club’s engaging activities, including Women on Target, educational monthly meetings, meeting up-and-coming politicians, sign-waving, and even lending her voice to a radio advertisement. These experiences quickly drew her into the RWBC community.
​
A Baltimore County resident for 35 years, Jolie and her husband have founded several businesses together. Her education and professional career are rooted in sales and marketing, and she has used her high-tech skills to help RWBC enhance its social media presence and improve its website.
