[edit] Background
Conaway was born on January 4, 1963 in Baltimore to Frank M. and Mary Conaway. He attended Baltimore City public schools and graduated from Northwestern high school, class of 1980. He attended Howard University, 1980-83; Morgan State University, 1983-84; Sojourner-Douglass College where he got his B.A. in business administration in 1999. Conaway has also achieved the level of sixth degree black belt in Ki Do karate. He is a chauffer for the Municipal Post Office of the City of Baltimore.[1]
[edit] Three open seats
During the four year term prior to Conaway's candidacy for the House of Delegates, two of the delegates, Howard "Pete" Rawlings and Tony Fulton, died while in office. Marshall Goodwin and Catherine E. Pugh were appointed to finish their terms. Rawlings and Fulton were democrats, as are Goodwin and Pugh. Prior to the 2006 democratic primary, the only incumbent delegate in the district, Salima Marriott, decided to run for the Senate seat being vacated by the district's senator. Catherine Pugh also decided to run for the same seat leaving the newly appointed Goodwin as the only incumbent in the race. The vacancies drew a large crowd of contenders; [2] including Conaway, Barbara Robinson and Shawn Tarrant, who all finished ahead of Goodwin. The General Election in November, therefore, featured all newcomers for the three open seats.
