Frederick County faces critical environmental questions in this year’s election. Data center policy and zoning looms large over the county, and land use, sprawl, clean water protections, and solid waste management are perennial issues. This election and the next four years will be pivotal for local decisions to protect for cleaner water, cleaner air, and healthier communities in Frederick County.
For these reasons, Clean Water Action is proud to endorse these candidates for local office:
- County Council District 1: Louisa Conklin
- County Council District 2: Jamie Shopland
- County Council District 3: Christian Benford
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 Frederick County state officials that have championed this work:
- District 3: Delegate Kris Fair
- District 3: Senator Karen Lewis Young
- District 4: Jerry Donald for Delegate
