As we approach the June 2026 primary elections, HARC and the League of Women Voters (LWV) hosted a free public forum for candidates for the Washington County, MD Board of County Commissioners in partnership with the Washington County Free Library. Nine candidates participated in the forum. Each had an opportunity to share about themselves and their priorities as well as answer questions received from the public, both prior to and during the event.
What happens on a local level has a big impact on our daily lives. Get to know the candidates to be prepared when you vote! Please note that ALL candidates were invited to participate; not everyone responded or chose to participate.
HARC & LWV will host a Board of Education and Board of County Commissioners Meet & Greet at Hancock Town Hall next Thursday, May 28 from 6-8 pm.
HARC is grateful to our HARC/LWV Candidate Forums Team for organizing truly non-partisan, civil and educational forums for Board of County Commissioners and Board of Education primary elections. This team includes Leader Cindy Brown, Richard Willson, Charlotte Trout, Genie Massey, Evvie Williams, and Rachel Nichols. Our gratitude also extends to Tammy Martinez for moderating the Commissioners candidate forum.
