Ronald Alan George (born August 30, 1953) is a former Republican member of the Maryland House of Delegates. George has announced plans to run in 2018 for the state Senate in District 30, which includes Annapolis. He sought the Republican nomination for Governor of Maryland in 2014, but finished fourth in the primary.
