UMBC public policy PhD student Del. John A. Olszewski Jr. has announced that he is running for Maryland Senate in what the Baltimore Sun calls “a generational shift in Baltimore County politics.” The Dundalk-area seat he will seek is currently held by Sen. Norman R. Stone Jr., who, at the age of 77, will retire after almost 50 years in office.
Olszewski said, “I’m running so I can be an even more aggressive advocate for the residents of District 6.” He noted, “My experience is that people are looking for common sense solutions to everyday problems. I’m not opposed to working across the aisle if it’s good for the people I represent.”
