History of the RWBC
In the aftermath of the historic Goldwater presidential campaign of 1964, a determined group of Republican women set forth to change Baltimore County. At the first organizational meeting in early 1965, about 20 women, including Ellen Sauerbrey, gathered in the living room of Jane Jackson’s Towson home. Sylvia Herman, then President of the MFRW, came to preside over the formalities of chartering a new club. The chosen name was the GOPhers. In 1968 the club had grown to about 45 members and was very active in Richard Nixon’s campaign for president. Members such as Helen Delich Bentley began to take prominent positions in public service and party leadership at that time, followed by Ellen Sauerbrey, Martha Klima, Helen Chamberlain and others. In more recent years, Susan Aumann and Kathy Szeliga have served in the House of Delegates, with Del. Szeliga, who ran as a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2016, continuing to serve as the House Minority Whip since 2013. Each election cycle sees RWBC members running for elected public office or vigorously supporting them and others.

Who are the Republican Women of Baltimore County?
We are a proudly multi-generational, multi-racial, and multi-ethnic group of women who believe in the value and preeminence of every individual in our society. We believe that justice is best served by judging each person by the content of his character, rather than by the color of his skin. We look to a free market economic system to bring about the freedoms of prosperity, opportunity for all, and assistance to the needy. We promote good government, the election of more women to public office, adherence to the Constitution, and the conservative principles of the Republican Party. The RWBC is a chapter club of the Maryland Federation of Republican Women (MFRW).
