Anthony (Tony) Campbell, age 52 as of 2018, is an American educator and politician. He is the Republican Party candidate in the 2018 Maryland election for the United States Senate. If elected, he would be the first African-American Senator from Maryland.
Campbell teaches political science at Towson University, following a career as a chaplain in the US Army.
Background
Campbell studied at the University of Pittsburgh, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. He then received a Master of Science degree in Social Science at Towson University. At Liberty University, he earned Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees. After obtaining his doctorate in ministry, Campbell became a Chaplain in the U.S. Army. Following his Army career, he began teaching political science at Towson University.
A resident of Baltimore County, Maryland, he has been active on the Executive Committee of the Maryland Republican Party, also serving on Baltimore County's Charter Review Commission. Campbell previously ran for Baltimore County Executive in 2014, losing narrowly in the Republican primary. He currently serves on the Baltimore County School Board Nomination Commission.
2018 US Senate campaign
Campbell's campaign stresses national security and smaller government, saying his priority as Senator would be "securing America' infrastructure against foreign actors". On education, Campbell has called for an end to such programs as Common Core, advocating a "return of authority" over schools from the Federal government to the state level. He has also campaigned for "reasonable tuition rates to allow for every student to achieve their goal of a four year college degree". In a televised debate, Campbell criticized his Democratic Party opponent, Ben Cardin, who is seeking a third term as Senator, saying the incumbent should have done more about Baltimore’s high crime rate and poorly performing schools.
Author
Campbell has written two books, America Today and A More Perfect Union.
