Making Government Work for Everyone 

For too long, Baltimore County has been divided—each council district acting like its own separate fiefdom. You see it in debates like Lansdowne versus Dulaney High School. While we’ve made progress, outdated systems and old ways of doing business still hold us back.

The truth is, our systems aren’t built for today. It shouldn’t take seven years to build a home. Or 15 to build a school. Or 90 minutes to get from Rosedale to Tradepoint Atlantic by bus. We can’t keep letting a vocal few hold back what the rest of us need.

It’s time to move forward as One County—united through collaboration, transparency and real public engagement.

This movement isn’t about small tweaks. It’s about bold, systemic change that makes government smarter, faster and more responsive to the challenges we face today. Baltimore County deserves a government that works transparently, serves effectively, and puts people first.

Nick’s Plan to Modernize and Unify Baltimore County Government:

• Fully utilize BCStat to make county government transparent, data-driven, and results-oriented—using real-time metrics to track progress and hold agencies accountable.
• Launch the “Smart BaltCo” initiative by creating a Chief Modernization Officer to lead efforts on efficiency, technology upgrades and service improvements and a delivery unit to focus on the 4-year plan
• Shift the culture across every county agency to a “Yes” mentality, where government is a partner, not a roadblock—offering concierge-style customer service that helps residents navigate the system, not get lost in it.
• Ensure fair pay for county employees to attract and retain the top talent we need to deliver high-quality services.
• Leverage AI and smart technology to cut red tape, accelerate services and improve government efficiency.
• Create the “Engaged BaltCo” initiative to guarantee that government is accessible, responsive and actively working with residents to strengthen communities

Baltimore County deserves modern, efficient, and people-first leadership. With Nick Stewart’s vision, we will break down barriers, build smarter systems and create a government that works—for everyone.
