Baltimore County

County Executive

Incumbent: OPEN SEAT. Appointed incumbent Kathy Klausmeier (D), selected by County Council in January 2025 after Johnny Olszewski won MD-02, has pledged NOT to run in 2026 to avoid incumbency advantage for an unelected occupant.

Term: 4-year term; term-limited to two terms.

At stake: Top executive in a county of ~850,000 residents with a ~$4.7B annual budget. Both primaries were contested; the Democratic primary was the marquee race given county partisan lean, and three sitting council members (Jones, Patoka, Young) gave up their seats to run.

Ballot Questions

Three statewide constitutional amendments on the November ballot. No Baltimore County-specific ballot questions confirmed — check with the Baltimore County Board of Elections closer to the election.

Commission on Judicial Disabilities Vacancies Amendment

SB 933

Clarifies how vacancies on the commission that oversees judicial misconduct cases get filled when a member recuses, is disqualified, or their term expires.

Plainly: Would allow the commission chair to appoint former members — or the governor to appoint substitutes — to keep the commission functioning when members can’t serve. Passed unanimously in both chambers.

Sources: Ballotpedia News, April 2026

State Employee Collective Bargaining Amendment

SB 28 / HB 604

Would require the governor's budget to include funding for wages, hours, benefits, and terms in any memorandum of understanding (MOU) covering state employees.

Plainly: Once the state negotiates a union contract, the governor must fund it in the budget.

Sources: Ballotpedia News, April 2026

Eminent Domain for Transportation Amendment

SB 947 / HB 1081

Would authorize the legislature to pass laws allowing the State Roads Commission or MTA to acquire property needed for highway or transit projects.

Plainly: Expands state authority to take private property (with compensation) specifically for roads and transit.

Sources: Ballotpedia News, April 2026

Sources & Notes

Certified primary results come from Maryland State Board of Elections race and county result pages. Candidate and office notes are compiled from public election sources and campaign materials.

Scope: this guide is Baltimore County, not Baltimore City. Baltimore City is an independent jurisdiction with its own ballot, its own mayor and council, and its own Board of Elections.

Authoritative source: Maryland State Board of Elections 2026 candidate portal. If anything here conflicts with the state board’s official records, trust the state board.

County Council expansion (7 → 9). This is the first election under the new nine-district councilmanic map, implemented via Bill 55-25 after voters approved the charter amendment in 2024. Districts have been renumbered; several are effectively open seats because of retirements, the expansion itself, and sitting members leaving to run for County Executive.

Federal and legislative districts are included for districts that include Baltimore County voters; result panels use districtwide totals. MD-01 and MD-07 cover smaller portions of the county; most Baltimore County voters are in MD-02.

Board of Education candidates are listed by councilmanic district using the pre-2026 seven-district map for this election. Nonpartisan race — no party primary.

Central committees are listed as source links rather than full candidate tables because the slates are long party-office elections.
