Kendel Sibiski Ehrlich is a former First Lady of Maryland, having served from 2003 to 2007 during the administration of Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich.[11][12] She is the first woman of Polish descent to have been Maryland's First Lady.[1]

From 1990 to 1995,[4] Ehrlich was an Assistant Public Defender in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.[6][13] She also served for four years as a prosecutor with Harford County, Maryland.[6] From 1997 to 2007, Ehrlich worked for Comcast Cable in various capacities,[14] initially as a lawyer, then part-time as a consultant and later a television show producer.[7] An attorney, Mrs. Ehrlich was active in various policy issues while serving as First Lady.[11] After her husband left office, Ehrlich took a job as a Director for BankAnnapolis.[8]

On October 3, 2003, during her first year as First Lady, Mrs. Ehrlich spoke at a domestic violence function and made the statement, "You know, really, if I had an opportunity to shoot Britney Spears, I think I would." She apologized to Spears, and a spokesperson later said that the incident "inadvertently used a figure of speech."[15]

Since leaving public office, Ehrlich and her husband have hosted a Saturday radio show on WBAL-AM.[16][17] By mid-2009, rumors began to surface regarding the prospect of Kendel Ehrlich's running for elected office herself.[6] Her husband was defeated by Martin O'Malley in the 2006 and 2010 Maryland gubernatorial races.

On March 2, 2015, longtime U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski announced that she would not seek re-election in 2016. Former First Lady Kendel Ehrlich has been mentioned as a potential Republican candidate for the open seat in the forthcoming 2016 Senate election.[18][19]
