Why I'm Running

Hello, my name is Jessica Haire - it's nice to meet you!  I am an engineer, attorney, wife, and mom.  I was elected to my first term on the Anne Arundel Council in 2018 and have worked hard to pass legislation that lowers tax burdens, eliminates unfounded regulations, and improves the quality of life for residents during that time.   I am running for County Executive in 2022 to bring common sense, innovation, and efficiency to our county government.
