About Howard County State's Attorney

The State's Attorney's Office is committed to justice by employing the highest ethical standards in vigorously prosecuting the guilty, protecting the innocent, and representing the interests of the State of Maryland in court. We are the chief law enforcement office and work with the police, county and state agencies and community groups to address criminal activity at all levels. We prosecute crime not only in the courtroom, but also referring minor incidents for diversion, substance abuse treatment and neighborhood mediation. We advocate for the rights of victims and witnesses and provide educational and informative programs to help prevent our citizens from becoming victims of crime.

The GoodParty.org Pledge

We only work with candidates and elected officials who are independent of both major parties and the influence of big money. They can take any positions on issues for their constituents, as long as they pledge to be:

Heart

Independent

Candidates run and serve as nonpartisan, independent, or third-party candidates, not as Democrats or Republicans. They agree to not accept endorsements from either the Republican or Democratic party.

Users

People-First

Candidates get a majority of their funding from individuals, not from political action committees (PACs), lobbies, unions, or corporations. Once elected, they pledge to focus on solving the problems facing their constituents, not serving themselves or special interests.

Star

Anti-Corruption

Candidates and officials pledge to uphold the highest level of integrity by being open, transparent, and accountable about their donors, positions, and progress. They agree to only serve the people, and to use the best tools and data available to stay connected and responsive to their constituents.
