As Baltimore County prepares to elect a new County Executive and a new, larger County Council, environmental issues are front and center. From land use and land conservation to good government and transparency issues, the next set of elected officials in the County will have big decisions to make. We’ve been working especially on solid waste management: ending the County’s practice of shipping trash to the BRESCO incinerator in Baltimore City, building composting and other Zero Waste infrastructure, and demanding change at the Days Cove landfill. The next four years will be pivotal for the infrastructure investments we need for cleaner water, cleaner air, and healthier communities in Baltimore County.
For these reasons, Clean Water Action is proud to endorse these candidates for local office:
- County Executive: Izzy Patoka
- County Council District 2: Danita Tolson
- County Council District 3: Makeda Scott
We’re also working hard at the state level for environmental justice, Zero Waste policies, better septic systems, protections around Superfund sites, and safer pesticide, chemicals, and PFAS policies. We’re proud to endorse these Baltimore County state officials that have championed this work:
- District 8: Delegate Nick Allen, 8
- District 11B: Delegate Dana Stein, 11B
- District 11: Senator Shetty Hettleman, 11
- District 42B: Delegate Michele Guyton, 42B
- District 44B: Delegate Sheila Ruth, 44B
