Kurt Wedekind Announces Shannon Wright as Running Mate in Maryland Gubernatorial Race

Republican gubernatorial candidate Kurt Wedekind proudly announces Shannon Wright as his official running mate and candidate for Lieutenant Governor in the 2026 Maryland election.

Shannon brings with her a strong commitment to the same core values that have shaped this campaign from the start: faith, true conservatism, a passion for educational reform, and a fierce desire to fix what’s broken in Maryland. Her vision aligns powerfully with Kurt Wedekind’s plan to build a stronger, more sustainable future for all Marylanders.

“Shannon understands the heart of this state its people, its potential, and the urgent need for real change,” said Kurt. “We both believe in common sense solutions, putting money back in the pockets of hardworking Maryland families, and standing up boldly against the political establishment. Together, we’re ready to fight for what’s right and lead Maryland in a new direction.”

The Wedekind/Wright ticket is focused on restoring balance, increasing government transparency, reducing burdensome taxes, and empowering families through stronger education and safer communities. This partnership represents a united front in delivering the conservative leadership that Maryland has long needed.
