Grounded in lived experience, dedicated to public service, and committed to the future of Baltimore County, Shawn McIntosh is running for County Council to fight for better schools, stronger communities, and a government that truly works for everyone.

A results-driven nonprofit leader, Shawn has a strong record of fiscal responsibility, strategic planning, and transparent governance. She has led transformative initiatives that strengthened youth leadership, advanced health equity, and delivered real legislative victories by elevating community voices and building inclusive coalitions. As a parent and active community advocate, she understands the urgency of ensuring that schools are properly funded, communities feel safe, and development is guided by smart planning, not political pressure from developers.

Shawn is running her campaign on public financing because she believes elected officials should be accountable to people, not special interests. After years of witnessing how corporate influence can stall good policy and silence community voices, she is committed to showing that a grassroots, community-powered campaign can win and restore trust in how Baltimore County is governed. By refusing large developer and special-interest contributions, Shawn is making a clear promise: your priorities will guide every decision she makes.
