[edit] Background
In 2003, Boschert began a run for Congress in Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District for the 2004 Presidential election year and raised $2300, but later withdrew to avoid a challenge by Bob Duckworth, who went on to be the Republican nominee. Boschert subsequently chose to retire from the state House of Delegates and run for the Republican nomination for County Executive in 2006. The County Executive race was open,as former executive, Janet Owens, was term limited. He lost the nomination to eventual nominee and general election winner, Delegate John Leopold.
A member of the important Ways & Means Committee, Boschert upset his party and newly elected Republican Governor Bob Ehrlich early in the 2003 legislative term. Governor Ehrlich had proposed using slot machine revenue to help solve state fiscal problems and fund education programs, but Boschert ignored a heavy lobbying effort and voted to kill the Governor’s proposal in Committee. Since then, Boschert has returned to the good graces of the Republican Party, voting for the Governor’s proposals, including the Governor’s continuing effort to install slots at racetracks. Throughout his career, Boschert cultivated a moderate image, though he co-sponsored a Maryland state Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage.
He was appointed by Governor Parris Glendening in 2000 as Executive Director of the Annapolis Regional Transportation Management Association.
From 1984 to 1994, Boschert served as a Democratic member of the County Council for District 4 of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. He served as Chairman of the Council from 1992 to 1994. While in office, the County passed legislation limiting the Council to two terms. This forced Boschert to run for District 33 Delegate in 1994, which he lost. He switched parties prior to the 1998 election. In 1998, Boschert ran again and won the race for Delegate after.
From 1980 to 1982, Boschert was the head of the County Board of Appeals, which primarily deals with zoning issues.
For a politician with a long political history, Boschert has made few financial contributions to candidates for office. As of May 2005, his only reported contribution to any federal candidate was to Helen Delich Bentley. His reported contributions to state candidates are to: Carmen Amedori, Phil Bissett, Bob Costa, Dirk Haire, C. Edward Middlebrooks, and Tony O'Donnell.
Boschert was a Captain in the U.S. Marine Corps and served in Vietnam.
Boschert has held number of sales and customer oriented jobs. He has worked for local banks in various capacities, including branch manager and President for Public Relations, from 1979 to 1990. He began a company Community Image Consultants, Inc. in 1987, but was apparently unsuccessful.
[edit] Education
Boschert earned an Associate of Arts degree in political science from Anne Arundel Community College in 1978 and a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1981.
Boschert lives in Crownsville. He is married and has a grown son and daughter.
