Howard County Exec. Shows Strong Fundraising Support
Howard County Executive Ken Ulman is reporting today that his campaign account, bolstered by support from across the state, contains $1.3 million, the result of a strong fund-raising year that saw him collect more than $1 million in donations over the past twelve months.
Donations made from 15 counties across Maryland show Ulman’s support is broad-based and diverse. Of the more than 1500 donations made to Ulman’s campaign this past
year, nearly 1200–two-thirds–come from the Baltimore region. Ulman’s support at home has not wavered–thirty-eight percent of Ulman’s contributions came from within Howard County, where he was re-elected by a wide margin in November of 2010.
“I’m heartened that residents from across Maryland recognize the outstanding job we’re doing in Howard County,” Ulman said. “We have delivered on our promise of
innovation in education and job creation, strong fiscal management, environmental stewardship and quality services, and these numbers indicate people have noticed.”
Ulman, 37, was first elected County Executive in 2006. In the past five years the County has won several national awards, including being named the 2nd Best Place to Live in
America by Money Magazine. In 2011 Ulman was named Regional Visionary of the Year by the Greater Baltimore Council and Innovator of the Year by the Daily Record.
