Sarah David expected to become Baltimore County’s next State’s Attorney

Baltimore County (WBFF) — Sarah David is poised to become Baltimore County’s next state’s attorney after winning the Democratic primary, a victory that effectively secures the office because no Republican or independent candidate filed to run.

David’s win marks a milestone for the county, as she is expected to become the first Democratic woman elected to serve as Baltimore County state’s attorney.

Throughout her campaign, David traveled across all nine Baltimore County Council districts, meeting with residents, community leaders, victims’ advocates and business owners to discuss public safety, accountability and her vision for the State’s Attorney’s Office.

“This election marks an important opportunity for Baltimore County. Together, we are beginning a new chapter for the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office, and I look forward to serving every resident with integrity, transparency, and fairness,” David said in a statement following the election.

David also thanked outgoing State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger in an email, expressing appreciation for his years of service to Baltimore County and their shared commitment to ensuring a smooth transition.

Additional details about the transition process and her leadership team are expected in the coming weeks.

A Baltimore County native, David graduated from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland Law School.

She currently oversees corruption prosecutions across Maryland, handling cases involving law enforcement officials, elected officials and prosecutors accused of violating the public trust.

Her campaign emphasized accountability, public safety and reforms aimed at creating what she described as a justice system that works for county residents.
