strong sentiments that the 7th district voters
want change and effective leadership. I will go
to Annapolis to work towards solutions," said
Sturgill, who bases his private law practice
out of Towson, MD offices.
"I’m concerned that taxes are rising along with
the costs of health care. I want to see better
planning for growth and development. Everyone
wants to see an improvement in the quality of
our schools. We need someone who gets things
done in Annapolis," says Sturgill.

government, having served as special assistant
attorney general, and as assistant Baltimore
county attorney. He additionally was Baltimore
County’s legal coordinator for the American

number of years.
