Neither political party works for us. Cost of living is skyrocketing They just blame each other. I’m running independent because we can’t keep doing things the same way #timonium #huntvalley #herefordzone #cockeysville #baltimorecounty #baltimore #Maryland

Lutherville Station should not move forward with this developer. My opponents either want to push it through or “go back to the beginning” Even though the developer has stated he will dig his feet in and not compromise. I will fight for our community’s interests when he tries to play dirty. I will listen to residents and make sure they have a voice. Regular people have been steamrolled for too long. I’m running to change that. #baltimorecounty #cockeysville #huntvalley #timonium #Lut

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
