Sturgill Files for Position of State Delegate, MD 7th District

Towson — Baltimore County attorney Jack Sturgill filed with the Maryland State Board of Elections as a Democratic candidate for the office of state delegate in Maryland’s 7th legislative district. This district, which was reconfigured in 2002, covers portions of Baltimore and Harford Counties.

The life-long Baltimore County resident seeks to regain one of the Democratic seats in his district that was lost to Republicans in the election of 2002. A group of supporters and community leaders accompanied Sturgill to complete the paperwork for filing at the Maryland State Board of Elections in Annapolis on May 17.

"Our team has been working hard over the past several months, already knocking on close to 3,000 doors in the district. I’m receiving 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.

Sturgill has an insider’s knowledge of 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 with Disabilities Act, a position he held for a number of years.

Experienced as a public advocate, Sturgill has served as a consumer representative on the Maryland Board of Dental Examiners and the Maryland Board of Nursing. He also has chaired the Council of Boards and Commissions. The attorney, who began his career in law in 1975, now serves on the board of directors for the Baltimore County Employees Federal Credit Union.

Married for the past 30 years to Marcy, he is a graduate of Calvert Hall, Towson University and the University of Baltimore School of Law. He also pursued graduate studies in urban planning at The Johns Hopkins University and has shared his knowledge and talents as an adjunct professor at Villa Julie College as well as having served as visiting assistant professor at Towson University and Loyola College’s graduate school.
