The Baltimore County FOP Lodge 4 released this scorecard…

Thank you, iVirgo family. Last week’s fundraiser was a powerful reminder of why I love this county. This campaign isn’t powered by special interests—it’s powered by you.

This is the reality in Baltimore County: * Seniors are being priced out of their homes. * Public servants are stretched too thin. * Minority businesses are still fighting for a fair shot. * We have a "poverty of expectations" for New Town and Liberty Road.

The countdown is on — and it’s real. Only 23 weekends remain before the Primary Election. Twenty-three chances to shape Baltimore County’s future and show what One County leadership looks like.

Tomorrow is our biggest fundraising deadline of the entire campaign — and we need your help. We’re running to make a fresh start in Baltimore County. But it doesn’t happen on its own. We’re up against councilmembers who’ve been fundraising for a decade…and we’ve only been at this for one year.

Three months ago, we held a town hall for the campaign on Liberty Road to talk about the future of Liberty Road and Randallstown. 70+ people turned out.

HAPPENING TONIGHT! 🌮 We’re just hours away from our Pre-Deadline Fundraiser at El Guapo, and I’d love to see you there! We’ll be grabbing drinks, sharing ideas, and discussing exactly how we move Baltimore County forward together.

Statement on the overnight break-ins in Catonsville @baltimoresun.bsky.social article is linked in the thread.

I sat down to film — and then got joined by my sons, TC, Henry, and Will — to share why this upcoming fundraising deadline is important to our campaign. We’re just 3 days away from our first public fundraising deadline.

I was grateful to be in Owings Mills this week for our first “Women for Nick” gathering. Woman aren’t the reason we are where we are in Baltimore County, but they’re damn sure the way out.

What a night in Owings Mills. The Women for Nick event was full of people who care deeply about this county and are ready to roll up their sleeves. I’m proud to stand with you — and excited for what we can build together. #NickStewart2026 #OneCounty #BaltimoreCounty

Statement Regarding the Shooting of Renee Nicole Good #ReneeNicoleGood

I’m deeply honored to have the endorsement of former State Senator Michael J. Collins.

Join me Monday, January 12 at El Guapo in Catonsville as we head into our first fundraising deadline and talk about real change for Baltimore County.

Can I deliver my campaign pitch in under 60 seconds — while sitting in an ice bath? 🧊🛁 🤦🏻‍♂️ Let’s find out. #NickStewart2026 #OneCounty #BaltimoreCounty

On the first Sunday after Christmas — a moment when the joy of the season meets the realities of everyday life — I worshipped with Trinity United Methodist Church in Catonsville.

Team Nick is excited to invite you to a special Women for Nick Reception for Nick Stewart reception with our friend Diana Emerson this Wednesday, January 7, at 6:00 PM.

My thoughts and prayers are with he entire @baltcopolice.bsky.social community.

Happy New Year, Baltimore County! 2026 is our moment to turn the page — and build a more affordable, inclusive, and modern One County. Let’s do this together. #OneCounty #NickStewart2026 #BaltimoreCounty

👀 Worth a read: CCBC Professor John Dedie's Seven 2026 Maryland Politics Predictions [linked in the thread below] — especially his take on the Baltimore County Executive race.

From @thebaltimorebanner.com and @rkobell.bsky.social: “That race is shaping up to be a real barn-burner,” said Donald I. Mohler III, a longtime Catonsville resident who served as county executive for several months in 2018...Mohler says Stewart brings exciting energy to the race..."

Baltimore County pledged to build 1,000 affordable housing units. The real need is 19,000 — and it’s urgent. With housing supply far below demand, property taxes are rising at a time when many county families are already stretched thin.

Change doesn’t happen from the sidelines — it happens when people show up. This first weekend of 2026, we’re hitting the ground across Baltimore County: knocking doors, making phone calls, and listening to neighbors about what it will take to build a more affordable, inclusive One County.

There’s life-saving work happening in Baltimore County every single day.

I was grateful to attend the Kwanzaa candle lighting with Charlotte and TC at the Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum—a meaningful opportunity to learn together and reflect on unity, purpose, and responsibility. #NickStewart2026 #BaltimoreCounty #OneCounty #kwanzaa

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the county Many blessings were counted and hope is a-mounting

When a deal is made with teachers, it should be kept. That’s why I support @tabco.org, and educators across Maryland, in calling for the legal right to strike for lawful purposes as a last-resort tool.

Some of the most important work in our region happens when we invest directly in our young people. Always great to see James Piper Bond and catch up on the incredible work of Living Classrooms Foundation. Their impact—connecting young people to opportunity, place, and purpose—is hard to overstate.

No better way to start a week than great music and good company. Last Monday night, I spent time with my friend Senator Charles E. Sydnor III at his fundraiser—an evening grounded in purpose and lifted by music. Hearing Maysa Leak, a Baltimore County native, set the tone made it even more special.

Baltimore’s Royal Farms says it best: “Real Fresh. Real Fast. Real Green.” Sometimes, as a candidate, that’s all you can ask for. There’s little time for meal prep when you’re bouncing from community meetings to civic groups to political fundraisers to holiday get-togethers.

The candles still glow, the lights shine bright — Hanukkah’s closing, Christmas in sight. Kwanzaa begins as the week rolls on — Different traditions. One County. One future to build on.

Some Sundays arrive right when you need them. A couple Sundays ago, I walked into St. Stephen AME carrying the weight of this moment—and I walked out steadier.

Dundalk matters. I was genuinely grateful to recently spend time talking with neighbors in a community that has powered Baltimore County for generations through hard work, the trades, and union jobs.

| A Meaningful Conversation with a Voice Baltimore Trusts | This Sunday (tomorrow) at 5:30 a.m., I’ll be on WMAR-2 News Baltimore sitting down with Doni Glover of BMORENews.com — a conversation I truly appreciated.

This is the heart of our party. I was really grateful to attend the Southwest Baltimore County Democratic Club's holiday party recently, held with the Catonsville @indivisible.org at the Baltimore County Arts Guild's Clubhouse in Catonsville.

I was really glad to spend time with the Central Baltimore County Democratic Club at their holiday party in Towson, thanks to Yara Cheikh and Firmin Debrabander for bringing people together.

Change happens at the grassroots. As a party, that work is led by our Democratic clubs—places where citizens come together to push back against darkness. I’m grateful for the North Baltimore County Democratic Club because they show what it takes: consistency, passion, and shoe-leather organizing.

Join Nick and friends on January 12 for a pre-deadline fundraiser. It’s the last chance to contribute and have your support show up on the first—and most important—campaign finance report of the 2026 race.

Before Thanksgiving, we gathered in Catonsville for our LGBTQIA+ brunch, and I’ve carried that morning with me ever since.

On a recent chilly Saturday, Brenda Johnson opened her Woodstock living room for a real conversation about Western Baltimore County — Woodstock, Randallstown and Liberty Road.

We see you. And Baltimore County needs you. On Sunday, I attended the Baltimore County Citizens and Leaders’ Organization Unsung Heroes Meet & Greet, organized by Woodlawn’s own Pat Harracksingh.

For decades, Baltimore County politics has been Towson-centric. I’m running to move that power outward — to communities. Neighbors as the developers. Teachers as policymakers. Small business as anchors.

Congratulations to Speaker Joseline Peña-Melnyk on her historic election as the next Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates.

| A Message to Our Immigrant Communities: Know Your Rights. Protect Your Family. | Many families in Baltimore County are living in fear right now, and that’s not acceptable. Pushing back starts with knowing your rights.

HAPPENING NOW: From County Housing & Community Development Director Terry Hickey is presenting the County's first Housing Needs Assessment right now:

We’ve been doing a little catching up after a stretch of very full weeks on the campaign trail — the kind that remind you why this work matters.

The light still burns. In the midst of violence and deep, abiding sadness — and under police protection — people in Baltimore County still gathered tonight to mark the first night of Hanukkah.

As Hanukkah begins tonight, I want to extend my best wishes to everyone in Baltimore County and across the region who is celebrating.

Friday afternoon at Honey’s Bar and Grill in Baltimore Highlands with Nestor Aparicio, talking Baltimore County over crab cakes on his Maryland Crab Cake Tour for WNST.net. Doesn’t get much better than that!

Kim Ross leads from the front — and gives the most. I was glad to join the delegate for her campaign announcement in Parkville at Pappas Restaurant.
