Barrie Ciliberti (born July 27, 1936) is an American professor and politician. He is a professor at the University of Maryland University College and current Republican legislator in the Maryland House of Delegates, representing District 4. He previously represented District 39 in the House of Delegates from 1995 to 1999.
Early life and education
Ciliberti was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he graduated from Friends Select School. He later attended Ursinus College, where he earned a B.A. degree in history in 1957; Georgetown University, where he earned a M.A. degree in history in 1960; and Catholic University, where he earned a Ph.D. degree in administration in 1975.[1]
Ciliberti is married to his wife, Pam, and has five adult children.[1] Outside of politics, he enjoys mountain climbing and spending time with his children. His family moved from Rockville to Urbana in the early 2000s.[2]
Career
Since 1965, Ciliberti has worked as an associate professor of education at Bowie State University.[1][3]
In 1985, Ciliberti was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to a member of the National Graduate Fellows Program Fellowship Board for a six-year term.[4] President Reagan also appointed Dr Ciliberti to serve as a member of the National Advisory Council on Adult Education. He has served as a guest lecturer for the U.S. Information Agency and a special assistant for ethnic affairs with the Republican National Committee.[1]
In 1994, Ciliberti was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in District 39, riding the Gingrich wave to victory. He lost re-election to a second term in 1998, losing to Democrats Charles Barkley, Paul Carlson, and Joan F. Stern.[5]
Ciliberti unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 1996, losing to incumbent U.S. Representative Connie Morella in the Republican primary election.[5]
Dr. Ciliberti has served two civilian tours in Iraq working with the United States Department of State. On his first term, he worked with the United States Embassy in Baghdad on election security in advance of the historic elections in Iraq on January 30, 2005.[6] Dr. Ciliberti's second tour was 255 miles north of Baghdad in the city of Mosul, Iraq where he served as the Senior Governance Advisor for Ninewah Province where he helped build the governance capacity of Provincial and city leaders throughout Ninewah Province.[citation needed]
In 2014, Ciliberti unsuccessfully ran for the Maryland House of Delegates in District 4, receiving 14.0 percent of the vote in the Republican primary.[7]
In January 2015, the Frederick County Republican Central Committee recommended Ciliberti to replace Kelly Schulz in the Maryland House of Delegates after she was appointed to serve in Governor-elect Larry Hogan's cabinet as the Secretary of Labor.[8] The Carroll County Republican Central Committee also voted to recommend Ciliberti, in addition to Jason Miller and Ken Timmerman, to fill the vacancy.[9] Hogan appointed Ciliberti to the House of Delegates on February 3, 2015.[10][11]
In the legislature
Ciliberti was sworn into the Maryland House of Delegates to represent District 39 on January 11, 1995.[1] During his legislative career in the Maryland General Assembly, he became known for his opposition to mandatory volunteerism[12] and his stance against aggressive driving.[13][14]
Ciliberti was again sworn into the Maryland House of Delegates to represent District 4 on February 4, 2015 after paying campaign finance infractions for missing campaign finance reports.[1][15]
Ciliberti was an early and enthusiastic supporter of Donald Trump, even when many in the Maryland Republican Party were keeping their distance.[5] In 2016, Ciliberti ran for National Delegate to the Republican National Convention, pledged to Trump. He won the Republican primary with 15.4 percent of the vote.[16] He ran again as an Alternate Delegate pledged to Trump in 2020, receiving 32.8 percent of the vote in the Republican primary.[17]
