Latest adds to Hogan transition team include former Montgomery executive A Democrat who used to be Montgomery County executive and a former Republican primary rival were among 20 people named to Maryland Gov.-elect Larry Hogan's growing transition team on Tuesday, as the Republican repeated his pledge to be a bipartisan leader. At an afternoon news conference in Annapolis, Hogan was flanked by the new team members, including Douglas M. Duncan, the former Montgomery County executive who unsuccessfully sought the 2006 Democratic nomination for governor. Duncan, who recently took a new position as chief executive of Leadership Greater Washington, said he has no plans to join the Hogan administration and has merely agreed to offer advice where he can before Hogan takes office Jan. 21. "I think he's done a terrific job so far of reaching out to Democrats," Duncan told reporters. Among the others who will help steer Hogan into office are David R. Craig, the outgoing Harford County executive who finished second to Hogan in this year's four-way GOP gubernatorial primary. Craig's running mate, outgoing Del. Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio (R-Talbot), is also joining the Hogan transition team. Three other state lawmakers were also part of Tuesday's announcement: Stephen S. Hershey Jr. (R-Queen Anne's), Sen. Christopher B. Shank (R-Washington) and Del. Kelly M. Schulz (R-Frederick). So, too, were two elder stateswomen among Maryland Republicans: Ellen Sauerbrey, the Republican nominee for governor in 1994 and 1998; and Helen Bentley, a former U.S. congresswoman. Other appointees to the transition team named Tuesday included: ■ Katja Bullock, a former special assistant to the president for personnel for Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush; ■ Ande Fulton Rhodes, personnel director for Anne Arundel County and former personnel director for the State of Maryland; ■ Diane Baker, former deputy appointments secretary for the State of Maryland; ■ Jim Soltesz, president and chief executive officer of Soltesz, Inc., a Maryland-based engineering and design firm; ■ Ed Dunn, chief executive officer of American Mechanical Services; ■ Abba Poliakoff, a lawyer at the firm Gordon Feinblatt; ■ Jimmy Rhee, former assistant secretary of commerce and trade in Virginia; ■ Joe Bartenfelder, former state delegate and member of the Baltimore County Council; ■ Doug DeLeaver, director of community relations for the Maryland State Police; ■ Sam Malhotra, founder and chief executive officer of Subsystems, an information-technology services company based in Rosslyn, Va.; ■ Juliette Bell, president of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore; ■ Luis Borunda, chairman of the board of directors for the Maryland Hispanic Business Conference.
