Representative Teresa Reilly
Teresa E. Reilly
Teresa E. Reilly was born on June 26, 1958, in Ohio. She later moved to Essex, Maryland, where she attended Kenwood Senior High School. She is a former bank officer.
Reilly entered politics in 1997 by becoming a member of the Republican Club of Harford County, serving on its board of directors from 1997 to 2012. She also served as the vice chair of the Harford County Republican Central Committee from 2002 to 2014. From 2008 to 2013, she served as the chief of staff to state delegate H. Wayne Norman Jr. She is currently a member of the Republican Club of Cecil County.
Reilly applied to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of former state senator J. Robert Hooper, who had resigned for health reasons in 2007. Reilly previously served on the board of directors for the Liriodendron Foundation. She is a current member of the Maryland Horse Council, Maryland Farm Bureau, and the National Rifle Association, and currently serves on the Bainbridge Development Advisory Board and the Local Video Lottery Development Council of Cecil County.
In September 2013, Reilly announced that she would run for the Maryland House of Delegates in District 35B, seeking to succeed state delegate H. Wayne Norman Jr., with whom she ran on a slate while he ran for state senate. She won the Republican primary in June 2014, placing second behind Andrew Cassilly, and defeated Democrats Jeffrey Elliott and Daniel Lewis Lamey in the general election. Reilly was sworn in on January 14, 2015. She was a member of the Ways and Means Committee during her first term, and has since served in the Health and Government Operations Committee. She also served as deputy minority whip from 2015 to 2018.
In July 2015, after Governor Larry Hogan announced that he had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Reilly held a “Hogan Strong” vigil in Bel Air. In 2018, following Norman’s sudden death, the Maryland Republican Party eyed Reilly as his successor. However, she had already filed for re-election to the House of Delegates at the time of his death, which led to Jason C. Gallion being appointed to the seat.
Reilly is married to James J. Reilly, a clerk of the Harford County Circuit Court, and they have one child.
