Baltimore County Councilman Todd Crandell, a Republican from Dundalk, will not seek another term after representing the southeastern part of the county for more than a decade.
Crandell, now 56, was first elected to the council in 2014 in a notable race, as a Republican had never represented that area since the council was formed in 1956.
