Timeline

1929

George Elmer Snyder (January 12, 1929 – April 5, 2017 ) was an American politician, businessman, author, inventor, and marketing professional.

1958

In 1958 at the age of 29, Snyder was elected to serve in the Maryland State Senate representing Washington County.

1959

He served in the Maryland State Senate from 1959 to 1974.

1966

Pressman previously ran as an independent candidate in the 1966 Maryland gubernatorial election.

After several weeks it became clear that the demographic challenges of running for state-wide office from the relatively less densely populated western part of the state would hamper the campaign.

1968

He was a member of the Maryland delegation to the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago where he eventually voted to nominate Hubert Humphrey to become the democratic nominee for President of the United States.

After years of deep conflict with then-sitting Governor Marvin Mandel, Snyder publicly announced that he would challenge Mandel in the Democratic primary for the Office of Governor.

Hyman A. Pressman, the Comptroller of Baltimore, filed as his running mate seeking the party's nomination for the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Maryland.

1970

After moving to Sarasota, Florida, in the late 1970s, Snyder broadened his career as a business consultant and made the decision to become a Republican.

1971

Snyder served as the Majority leader of the Maryland Senate and was the Chairman of the Maryland Senate Finance Committee from 1971 to 1974.

Born in Hagerstown, Maryland, Snyder attended Washington County Public Schools.

He then graduated from the University of Maryland and attended the University of Maryland School of Law.

Snyder was married to Karen Englehart Snyder and had six children and ten grandchildren.

By 1971, Snyder served as the Democratic Senate Majority Leader, member of the Legislative Council, and was Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

1974

He served a total of four terms, eventually retiring from Maryland politics in 1974 after withdrawing from the Democratic primary for Governor of Maryland.

On July 18, 1974, Snyder ended the campaign.

Snyder lobbied and testified before more than 40 state legislatures in a campaign to get the states to force a constitutional convention to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment.

1979

By 1979, the effort to push the states to support an amendment had made serious progress with 29 of the 34 states required for a constitutional convention.

1980

Working at the federal level proved challenging, but several successes were achieved in the early 1980s.

1981

On May 19, 1981, the Senate Judiciary Committee, for the first time, approved the proposed constitutional amendment by a vote of 11–1.

At the time, Snyder declared: ''”This is really a great day for the American taxpayers.

The fiscal affairs of our country are about to be afforded the same safeguards as our Constitution freedoms ...

and may be as crucial to protecting those rights.”''

An opposition effort, particularly at the state-level, was led by then-Massachusetts Lt. Governor Thomas P. O'Neill III and a number of organizations including the AFL–CIO and Common Cause, led by Fred Wertheimer.

1982

He served in elected office as a Democrat, although he ran as a Republican in the 1982 Florida Senate Race for the seat occupied by Lawton Chiles.

He served as the President of the National Taxpayers Union and led a nationwide effort to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the United States Constitution.

After the departure of Grover Norquist from the leadership of the National Taxpayers Union in 1982, Snyder was appointed executive director of the organization.

Leaning on his prior experience in elected office, he filed to run for the United States Senate in the 1982 election against the incumbent Senator Lawton Chiles.

He was defeated in a three-way Republican primary carrying 27 percent of votes cast.

As a serial entrepreneur, Snyder was involved in founding, co-founding, or acquiring numerous businesses throughout his life.

He was the holder of several patents on processes and devices.

Snyder owned a soft pretzel company, Dutchie, Inc. of Smithsburg, Maryland, where he pioneered frozen foods processes and methods of distribution.

For example, Snyder developed and patented a then-novel design for a compact oven intended for use by commercial clients in the shopping, amusements, entertainment, and sport sectors.

2017

Snyder passed away in 2017 at the Glenbridge Health and Rehabilitation Center in Boone, North Carolina.
