BYRON running for RE-ELECTION

“It’s an honor to serve as Howard County’s Register of Wills. For over 14 years, it’s been my mission to provide compassionate and professional service, implement meaningful reforms, advocate to make probate in Maryland more efficient, less expensive, and more equitable for families, and be active and engaged in our community. I’m proud to say I’ve never wavered from my mission and have followed through on the promises I have made to the people of Howard County. 

Every day, my staff and I help people who need someone in government who understands and cares about what they’re going through - the death of a loved one - and guide them every step of the way. From the feedback we’ve received from members of the public and attorneys across Maryland, the transformation of this office and the reputation we have built since my tenure began make it a real success story - whose future will be even brighter with continued effective leadership.

While some politicians become complacent, I hit the ground running and I’ve never slowed down. We’ve accomplished so much, but there is more work to be done. And now more than ever, people need proven, reliable leadership to deliver vital public services. So I’m seeking re-election as your Register of Wills. Over the next weeks and months, I’ll share our successes, my vision for 2026 and beyond, and the overwhelmingly positive feedback my office receives from the folks we serve.

I look forward to earning your vote and the work ahead.”
