Mike Ertel is running for re-election to the Baltimore County Council… By walking.
Mike was elected in 2022 to represent the 6th District and has spent the last two years with feet on the ground in neighborhoods throughout the district — from Rosedale and Overlea to Parkville and Towson — identifying the issues impacting the communities and taking steps to address them. Issues have included everything from illegal dumping and trash to development, school overcrowding, and crime. But the work continues.
Mike is up for re-election in 2026 and needs your support to continue the important work he has begun in the district.
Will you help him?
“I grew up in Hamilton. I saw what happened when government stopped caring. I won’t let that happen here.”
