Josh Stonko, Maryland House of Delegates District 42C
"As I’ve decided not to seek reelection in District 42C, I’m proud to throw my full support behind Steve Patten for Delegate. Steve truly stands for the values that matter to our community: limited government, lower taxes, and ensuring local government—not bureaucrats in Annapolis or out-of-state corporations—make the important decisions that shape our future.
Steve is not only a successful business owner and family man, but he’s also someone who cares deeply about our community. He understands the struggles local businesses face and believes government should be there to help them grow, not hold them back. His experience in leadership and commitment to fiscal responsibility makes him a great fit to represent us.
Steve’s leadership in the Convention of States movement shows his dedication to keeping power where it belongs—with the people. His passion for our community and understanding of the challenges we face is exactly what we need in Annapolis.
As I step back from public office to focus on growing my family, I know Steve will continue the work I care about. I hope you’ll join me in supporting Steve Patten as our next Delegate—he’s the right person to keep our community moving forward."
Chris Tomlinson, Maryland House of Delegates District 5
“I am proud to endorse Steve Patten to represent Legislative District 42C in the MD General Assembly. As a political activist and advocate for the Convention of States, I know that Steve has the determination, energy, and drive needed to represent Carroll County in Annapolis. With only 39 members in the House Republican Caucus (compared to 102 Democrats), we desperately need more vocal members who have the fortitude to speak out and defend conservative values in committee and certainly on the floor. I am confident that Steve is not afraid to be outspoken and he knows how to make a winning argument, even when the odds are not in his favor. We need more fighters in the MD House of Delegates and I look forward to having Steve join me as we fight for the soul of Maryland.”
Kenny Kiler, Carroll County Commissioner District 2
“I proudly endorse Steve Patten for State Delegate in District 42C. Steve has demonstrated a deep commitment to Maryland, and Carroll County, through his years of citizen activism and legislative work. His experience with the Tea Party movement, lobbying efforts, and work with the Convention of States Foundation show that he understands how to navigate the political landscape while standing firm on conservative principles.
As a local business owner and a dedicated family man, Steve has a strong understanding of the challenges faced by families and small businesses in our community. His pro-family, pro-business, and pro-liberty stance ensures that he will fight for parental rights, reduce burdensome regulations on local businesses, and be a strong advocate for local autonomy. Steve has supported conservative candidates for many years. I am proud to now support him. I am confident that Steve’s leadership will benefit all the citizens of District 42C.”
Michael R. Guerin, Carroll County Commissioner District 4
"I fully support Steve Patten and proudly endorse him for the Maryland House of Delegates - District 42C. I have had the pleasure of knowing Steve for many years, and have worked with him on various legislative issues that affect our county and state. Steve is steadfast in his core beliefs; he is pro-family, parental rights, pro-liberty, pro-second amendment and pro-life. As a father, husband, activist, and a businessman for over 30 years, Steve would bring a wealth of experience and determination to the Maryland House of Delegates. He is a true patriot and would serve District 42C with distinction. Steve understands that the stakes are high as Carroll County fights mandate after mandate to maintain our self-governance and home-rule. Vote for Patten for 42C!."

Mark N. Fisher, Maryland House of Delegates District 27C
"I am pleased and honored to endorse Steve Patten for Maryland State Delegate in District 42C.
Steve serves as the Associate Regional Director of the Convention of States Foundation. The Convention of States is an organization dedicated to saving America from out-of-control spending by the Federal government. Steve is highly principled and steadfast in his commitment to reigning-in the government leviathan. He understands that government has grown too big and involved in far too much of our everyday lives. Put simply, he has the experience and knowledge to positively impact policymaking in Annapolis, while fighting for the working men and women of Maryland.
Steve is a champion of liberty, freedom of speech and the second amendment. He is dedicated to his wife and children. As a loving husband and father of four, he supports parental rights in schools and is Pro-Life.
As a Carroll County resident for nearly thirty years, Steve knows the community, and is personally invested in making it better. It is for all of the foregoing reasons that I proudly endorse Steve Patten for Delegate!"
