District 31 Anne Arundel County
Delegate Don Dwyer
I am considered one of the most conservative members of the Maryland General Assembly. I serve District 31 in Anne Arundel County. I will stand for upholding the Constitution- both the United states Constitution and the Constitution of Maryland. I am currently serving my second term as a State Delegate and will seek re-election in 2010.

Dwyer Not Endorsed by the Gazette
Sep 2nd
I was not surprised nor should you be that the Gazette did not endorse me yet again.
It is obvious that our local news paper is more liberal than I am. Fortunately, their editorial attacks only bolster my supporters.
I did not go to Annapolis to make friends, nor did I go to go along get along; I went to make a difference. I have and will continue to defend the Constitution on which this great State was founded.
The editors somehow believe that it is inappropriate for me to stand and defend what I believe in as an elected official. They also believe it was irresponsible for More >
Delegate Dwyer Pledges Continued Support of “Right to Work” Legislation in Maryland
Aug 12th
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Today Delegate Don Dwyer committed to support “Right to Work” Legislation in Maryland.
This legislation if passed would break the stronghold labor unions have on business and employees in Maryland.
“Its time we allow businesses and their employees act and speak for themselves. This legislation would not prohibit unions
It simply allows an opt out provision. I fully support Right to Work legislation, as I have done so in the past.” Said Dwyer.
Delegate Dwyer Signs Arizona Immigration Pledge for Maryland, “Citizens Rights Act”
Aug 12th
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Today Delegate Don Dwyer signed a pledge supporting the “Citizens Rights Act”.
This legislation is being introduced in the upcoming legislative session and will model
the Arizona immigration law that has caused National attention.
“I hope to be the first member of the Anne Arundel County Delegation to sign the pledge.
Why is it that so many are refusing to address the issue of illegal immigration? My solution is to
Register all guest workers for a limited period of time and restrict ALL government benefits until they
become citizens of the United States of America.” Dwyer said.

Regarding: Opinion of Law Request on Civil Rights
Dear Attorney General Gansler,
Thank you for your reply regarding the case of McDonald v City of Chicago and the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Given that my original request was somewhat generic in nature, I would like to take this time to be much more specific.

Sign Waving
Jul 20th
Glen Burnie, Maryland
Today Delegate Don Dwyer, Jr. of Glen Burnie began his over the top sign waving campaign.
It is over the top because he is regularly seen above the car tops as he waves to motorist passing beneath bridges and overpasses
throughout District 31.
In 2002 and most recently 2006, Delegate Dwyer decided to use sign waving after watching the all time champion of sign waving County Executive Leopold for many years. “It was clearly working for Mr. Leopold so I decided to take it to a new level” Dwyer said.
There is no doubt that you will see Delegate Dwyer on the More >
