F. Vernon Boozer (born January 30, 1936) is an American politician who was a Republican member of the Maryland Senate from the 9th district from 1981 to 1999.
[5] In 1998, Boozer was defeated in the Republican primary by Andy Harris, an anesthesiologist who had never run for office before.
[7] According to an article in The Washington Post, Boozer may have lost his election bid because of his pro-choice views in a very conservative district.
He used a procedural move to derail a partial-birth abortion ban a year earlier after it passed out of committee, leading the bill's sponsor, Larry E. Haines, to endorse Harris.
In 2000, Boozer was appointed by Republican Governor Bob Ehrlich to serve as vice chair on the Special Committee on Voting Systems & Election Procedures in Maryland.
In 2002, Boozer was tapped again Governor Ehrlich to a four-year term to serve on the State Advisory Council on Administrative Hearings, along with Nancy S. Grasmick, Nathan J. Greenbaum, Susan Dishler Shubin, Evelyn B. McCarter, and Suzanne M.
