Biography
Gene M. Ransom, III is CEO of the largest physician organization in Maryland, MedChi, The Maryland State Medical Society. As MedChi executive, Ransom implements MedChi’s mission as an advocate for physicians, patients, and the public health of Maryland. MedChi currently represents over 7,500 Maryland physicians, created several Accountable Care Organizations, and operates one of Maryland’s largest Insurance Agencies. Ransom has worked hard on key public health issues like protecting Medicaid, promoting public health programs, and insurance reform in his role as director. Ransom is a life-long resident of the Delmarva Peninsula and was elected to the Queen Anne's County Commission in November 2002. Ransom was the only incumbent County Commissioner re-elected in the 2006 election. Ransom graduated from The University of Maryland with honors in economics and the University of Baltimore School of Law. When elected, at thirty-one, Ransom made history as the youngest Commissioner ever to serve Queen Anne's County. During his term as Commissioner he fought for fiscal responsibility, managing a budget of over 100 million dollars and voting for a balanced budget every year in office while reducing the Queen Anne’s property tax rate by over twenty cents during his two terms. Ransom was an instrumental part of a bipartisan effort to bring the first full service twenty four hour emergency room to Queen Anne’s County.
