[edit] Background
Originally a Democrat, Giannetti was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1999 for District 13B. He served until 2003 when he was elected into the State Senate for District 21, which covers Anne Arundel County and Prince George's County. He was defeated in the Democratic primary in 2006, but vowed to run as a moderate Republican in the general election, which he lost to James Rosapepe.[1] As a legislator, Giannetti was the primary sponsor of more than 50 bills that became law, many focusing on changes to business law, juvenile law, and criminal law statutes.
