Howard County Executive Calvin Ball said Friday that he is giving “serious consideration” to running for the U.S. House seat being vacated by Democratic incumbent John Sarbanes at the end of next year.
Ball, a Democrat, was elected county executive in 2018 and reelected in 2022.
“With the retirement of my dear friend Congressman John Sarbanes, many in our community and across our state have encouraged me to run for Congress,” Ball, 48, said in a statement on social media.
“As I talk with members of our community, I am giving the race serious consideration, and I expect to make a decision by Thanksgiving. My highest priority is to serve our community in meaningful ways that uplift current and future generations,” Ball wrote.
