Baltimore County Deserves a Choice

Quick Summary

It does not change your party registration.

It simply helps place another choice on the ballot.


Deadline: August 3, 2026

Why This Petition Matters

Maryland law requires independent candidates to collect petition signatures before they can appear on the ballot. For Baltimore County Executive, that means obtaining valid signatures from approximately 1% of registered voters in Baltimore County.

If you think Baltimore County deserves more than one vision for its future, sign the petition.

That is not easy. It is not supposed to be. But before voters can decide whether my ideas deserve support, they deserve the opportunity to hear them.

That is what this petition is about.

This Is Not a Vote

Let me be clear:

Not a vote

Signing this petition is not a vote for Rob Daniels.

Not an endorsement

Signing does not necessarily mean you support the campaign.

Not a November commitment

Signing does not mean you will vote for Rob Daniels in November.

No party-registration change

Signing does not change your party registration or affect primary voting rights.

A petition signature simply means that you believe Baltimore County voters deserve another choice on the ballot.

Nothing more.

Many people who sign this petition may ultimately vote for someone else. That is perfectly fine. Democracy works best when voters have options and can make informed choices after hearing competing ideas.

Why I’m Asking for Your Help

For too long, Baltimore County residents have been told to choose between different versions of the same thing. Meanwhile, our county faces serious challenges:

Public safety concerns
Overdevelopment and infrastructure strain
Rising costs for families and seniors
Growing distrust in government
A looming budget crisis that will demand real leadership and difficult choices

You may agree with my solutions. You may not.

Baltimore County benefits when more ideas are debated, more voices are heard, and voters are trusted to decide for themselves.

This petition simply gives voters that opportunity.
