Political history

Quinter had been a member of House of Delegates from January 8, 2003 to January 10, 2007. He served on the Judiciary Committee with Joseph F. Vallario, Jr., Curt Anderson and Jill P. Carter. He chaired the Howard County Delegation from 2004 to 2005.[3][4] He introduced a bill increasing penalties against video voyeurism.[5]

Bid for Congress

Quinter had announced that he was laying the groundwork for a campaign for the nomination for Maryland's Third Congressional District in 2006. A seat being vacated by 10 term Congressman Ben Cardin who was running for U.S. Senate. His primary opponents would have been former Baltimore Health Commissioner Peter Beilenson, State Senator Paula Hollinger and John Sarbanes; however, Quinter withdrew from the race and tried to regain his seat in the House of Delegates. He was unseated by County Councilman Guy Guzzone, who had considered a race for County Executive, but chose to run for the House of Delegates, as that post would allow Mr. Guzzone to spend more time with his family. The race was fairly close, but Mr. Guzzone prevailed as he was well known in Howard county having been county council president.
