Restore America’s Mission backs Ric Metzgar for Maryland House re-election

Restore America’s Mission has endorsed Delegate Ric Metzgar for re-election in Maryland’s House District 6, citing his bipartisan approach and record on capital funding. The endorsement spotlights schools, healthcare, parks and flood-protection projects in Essex and eastern Baltimore County.

Why it matters: - Restore America’s Mission’s endorsement adds outside conservative support to Metzgar’s re-election effort in District 6. - The group framed the race around whether state dollars produce tangible results for schools, healthcare, infrastructure and community quality of life. - District 6 includes Essex and eastern Baltimore County, where the endorsement says Metzgar has delivered visible benefits.

What happened: - Dave Wallace, founder of Restore America’s Mission, announced the organization’s endorsement of Delegate Ric Metzgar for re-election to the Maryland House of Delegates in District 6. - Wallace described Metzgar as a moderate, common-sense Republican who can pair principle with bipartisan cooperation. - The announcement was issued in Baltimore, Maryland, on Sept. 22, 2026.

The details: - Wallace said Metzgar’s work on the House Appropriations Committee and its Capital Budget Subcommittee helped bring capital and grant funding to District 6. - The funding supported schools, healthcare facilities, libraries, parks, flood-protection projects, community institutions and historic-preservation efforts. - Wallace said those investments also supported the continued revitalization of Essex and eastern Baltimore County. - Wallace said Metzgar has worked to ensure District 6 is not forgotten or shortchanged and that local taxpayers receive tangible results from state government. - Wallace said the organization values character, accessibility, bipartisan leadership and the ability to deliver results. - Restore America’s Mission’s mission statement says the group is rooted in “America’s Triple Crown of Liberty: LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.” - The organization says public officials should protect families, strengthen communities, defend economic opportunity and exercise responsible stewardship over public money. - The group says success should be measured by whether public funds create lasting value, not by how much government spends. - Contact information in the release listed Derek Noyes at Restore America’s Mission, a phone number, and social links including the organization’s X account and its website.

Between the lines: - The endorsement signals support for a candidate who blends traditional Republican identity with a willingness to cooperate across party lines. - The release also tries to define fiscal responsibility as a results-based test, not a spending test. - That framing appears designed to appeal to voters who want practical district-level outcomes more than ideological confrontation.

What's next: - Metzgar will continue seeking re-election in District 6 with the endorsement as part of his campaign message. - The release does not give a timeline for additional endorsements or campaign events. - Future emphasis will likely remain on appropriations, local capital projects and visible benefits for the district.
