Thank you to every community member who came out to sign-wave, watch the film, and stand for what’s right. Together, we honored the life and legacy of Congressman John Lewis in both spirit and action.
It wasn’t just a great time—it was a great moment that will lead to continued action.
It was an honor to be part of the National Action Network Greater Baltimore Chapter’s celebration of its founding in 1991—recognizing and uplifting the leaders who paved the way for so many across Maryland. Their legacy of service, advocacy, and justice continues to inspire the work we do today.
Thank you, Adamah, and the Baltimore Environmental Sustainability Network for the invitation to learn about your Annual Environmental Forum. The information shared was truly valuable and informative. Thank you, Ms. Abby Snyder and team, Director of the Government Relations
Baltimore Jewish Council. Thankful you, to the guests speakers- Senator Ben Brooks , Delegate Dana Stein, and Delegate Cathi Forbes for their tireless efforts on climate and energy change. I look forward to our continued partnership as we work together to create a more sustainable environment for all of Baltimore County and the State of Maryland.
My name is Tyrod Haynes, and I’m running to be your next Baltimore County Councilmember for District 3 because our community deserves leadership that listens, shows up, and delivers results.
Before I ever served on a board or launched a petition, I worked with my hands. I’m a Retired Plasterer and a proud union member of Teamsters Local 237 out of New York. That experience shaped me. It taught me the value of hard work, fair wages, safe job sites, and what it means to stand in solidarity with working people. I don’t just talk about labor and economic dignity—I’ve lived it.
I believe in the power of community—not as a slogan, but as real work. I’ve served on the Baltimore County Democratic State Central Committee, the ROG Coordinating Council, the Owings Mills New Town Master Association, and my own homeowners association. I’m also a proud member of the NAACP, working with ACT-SO to uplift our young people, and I partner with environmental groups like CCAN, Blue Water Baltimore, and the Maryland League of Conservation Votersbecause climate justice is quality-of-life justice.
And when this community speaks, I act.
When residents demanded a better grocery option at New Town Center, I launched a petition, gathered over 1,000 signatures, and I’m still fighting for healthy, accessible food for our families.
When safety concerns rose on New Town Boulevard, I worked with County leaders to get a new stop sign approved—because prevention saves lives.
And when public safety became a daily concern, I partnered directly with the Franklin Police Department to strengthen communication, trust, and community protection.
District 3 is at a crossroads. We are facing challenges with housing affordability, development, public safety, transportation, youth opportunity, and economic revitalization.
I’m not running to make empty promises. I’m running to continue the work I’ve already been doing—to make sure development works for residents, not just developers; to protect our neighborhoods; and to ensure that every voice from Randallstown to Owings Mills to Reisterstown is heard.
District 3 deserves leadership that is present, prepared, and proven.
My name is Tyrod Haynes, and I’m ready to serve—because I already do.
Thank you, and let’s get to work.
Our mission is to harness our collective strength and vision to move Baltimore County forward, not just with words, but with action. As we continue to push back against extremism and the effects it has on our families and communities, we also have the opportunity to come back even stronger together, to forge a reality that will take back our communities and stop this present administration’s destruction of our country's ideals. (Liberty and Justice for all).
I'm committed to:
*Listening first
*Creating safe spaces for dialogue
*Restoring trust in public leadership
I stand for:
*Collaboration over division
*Transparency over politics
*Progress rooted in unity
