Republican Kelly Schulz on Tuesday announced Jeff Woolford, an assistant secretary and chief medical officer with the Maryland Department of Health, as her running mate in her campaign for governor.
Woolford, an Air Force veteran who served as a fighter pilot and flight surgeon, has held various positions for the past two years in the administration of Gov. Larry Hogan (R). In March 2020, he was named chief of staff of the Maryland Department of Human Services. He was then selected in July of that year to serve as the director of community and facility initiatives with the Maryland Department of Health, before being named an assistant secretary in April.
Woolford, a lieutenant colonel in the Maryland Air National Guard, was tasked with operating the state’s mass-vaccination clinic at Baltimore’s M&T Stadium.
