Thank you for your support - I am excited to represent District 1 on the Howard County Council
Hello! I am Liz Walsh.
And I’m running for Howard County Council, District 1. As a Democrat.
I live in old Ellicott City with my two kids, ages 8 and 6. Maybe you know us from their preschools, Bet Yeladim and St. John’s. Maybe I’ve cheered next to you on the sidelines of their SAC soccer clinics, or at the Kiwanis baseball fields, or at HCYP lacrosse.
Maybe you know me from Mount Hebron, where I graduated nearly one million years ago (‘89), or from my younger sisters and brother all of whom grew up in the same house my Mom and Dad still live in, behind the old Enchanted Forest. Maybe you’ve followed @savechurchroad for the last couple of years.
Or, maybe, you still don’t know me at all. Well, I sure do hope to change that. Please, take a look around this website, and let me know what you think, what you were looking for, and whether you found it.
I am running to represent all of us who live here in District 1—not the special interests who continue to build into it. And, in the next two weeks, I need your vote.
Mine is a true grassroots campaign. I take no corporate money. Constituents are my special interest.

Why am I running?
Because we need clear-eyed competence in our local government. We need responsible and long-minded stewards of our neighborhoods, small business corridors, historic streetscapes and green spaces—and of our public funds. We need lawmakers to make common-sense decisions for the common good. Especially in District 1, we need a Council representative able to ask the hard questions and willing to say no to Developer LLC. |

I am a Civil Engineer & Lawyer
For nearly twenty years now, I am a construction lawyer. I represent international engineering, construction and procurement contractors and the owners of the industrial and infrastructure megaprojects those contractors build. (I do not do local land-use law. I do not do residential.)
|
Depending on what’s at hand, I can be a collaborative problem-solver dedicated to preserving long-standing business relationships, or I can be the fiercest advocate.
Before law school at Georgetown, I was a project engineer for a national general contractor. I bid and ran construction projects in the field, mostly bridges. From this hard, hard work, I learned pragmatism, efficiency and an insistence on concrete and timely deliverables. My civil engineering degree is from Georgia Tech. My civil engineering and legal background will serve our County well in the Council’s next four-year term: as local government undertakes a complete re-writing of our local land-use laws and zoning plans, and as Developers continue to pursue Council approval to veer from them. I know the law. I read the plans. I do the math. |
Thank you!
