Longtime Carroll Leader Haven Shoemaker Steps Down After Years of Dedicated Service

Carroll County State’s Attorney Haven Shoemaker said Monday he will not seek a second term in office next year. The Republican was first elected to the role in 2022.

“I want to say that serving as Carroll County’s State’s Attorney has been the honor of a lifetime,” Shoemaker, 60, said in a news release. “To lead such a dedicated group of professionals as we have in my office, and to go to work every day knowing that we are making a difference in the county that I love, has been an incredible experience that I will always cherish.

“However, at this point in my life, it’s time to let someone else have a try,” he said. “By the time I leave office, I will have been an attorney for 34 years and will have held political office for 30.”
