Meet Shawn McIntosh
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.
For more than three decades, Shawn has brought people together to solve complex challenges in public health, education, and community development. 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.

A results-driven nonprofit leader, Shawn has a strong record of fiscal responsibility, strategic planning, and transparent governance.

Shawn is running for County Council because Baltimore County is at a crossroads. With development pressures threatening our farms and greenspace, schools slipping in statewide rankings, and communities expressing rising concerns about safety, she believes we need bold, community-driven leadership that prioritizes people over special interests. Her vision is rooted in collaboration, common sense, and a deep belief that every resident deserves a fair shot and a responsive government.
Shawn McIntosh is ready to bring her experience, integrity, and commitment to service to the County Council so Baltimore County can thrive for generations to come.
