BYRON earns MULTIPLE ENDORSEMENTS FOR RE-ELECTION
“It’s an honor to serve as Howard County’s Register of Wills. For the past 15 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’ve never wavered from this mission and have kept every promise I have made to the people of Howard County.
Every day, my staff and I help people who need public servants who care about what they’re going through and will guide them every step of the way. The feedback we hear from the public proves the transformation of this office and the reputation we’ve built make it one of the most trusted public agencies in the county. Under my leadership, it’s become a model for how government can be professional, responsive and compassionate, and can be capable of innovation and reform.
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. That’s why I’m running for re-election. During this campaign, I’ll share our successes, my vision for 2026 and beyond, and I’ll be out in the community and knocking doors in every corner of Howard County.
I look forward to earning your vote and the work ahead.”
