Howard County Executive Calvin Ball, who in 2018 became the first African American ever elected to that office, easily won re-election in 2022. Last month, Ball was elected president of the Maryland Association of Counties (MACo), an organization whose mission is to help elected officials across the state of Maryland to work on regional solutions.

Tom's Newsmaker guest today is Howard County Executive Calvin Ball.

In November, he was elected for a second term to lead Maryland’s sixth largest county.

Funding for Howard County Schools is a front-burner issue, as is the project to mitigate or prevent future flooding in Ellicott City.

Calvin Ball joins Tom today in Studio A to discuss these and other issues he's working on in his second term.
