Baltimore County Council District 3
A Vote for Haynes is a Vote for Progress
Prepared to Govern. Ready to Deliver
Welcome to Citizens-for T Haynes
I’m running for Baltimore County Council because I understand what this job is—and why it matters.
The County Council is where laws are written, budgets are decided, and development is approved or denied. These decisions affect our neighborhoods, schools, environment, and quality of life in District 3.
This is not a ceremonial role. It is a governing responsibility—and I’m prepared to fulfill it.
Why I’m Running:
District 3 deserves leadership that is informed, accessible, and accountable.
We are facing real challenges: development pressure, aging commercial corridors, infrastructure needs, and environmental concerns that impact everyday life. Too often, residents feel decisions are made without enough transparency or community input.
As your Council member, I will ensure community voices are heard early, development is responsible, and public resources are used wisely.
Ready on Day One:
I’m not running to learn the job—I’m running to do the job.
I understand:
• The Council’s legislative authority
• The county budget process
• Zoning and land-use responsibilities
• The balance between district advocacy and countywide duty
Preparation matters. District 3 deserves leadership that is ready on day one.
My Commitment:
If elected, I will:
• Be accessible to residents
• Study issues before they reach a vote
• Explain my decisions clearly
• Work independently and with integrity
I will represent District 3 with seriousness, transparency, and respect for the responsibility of this office.
Join Me:
I’m Tyrod Haynes, and I’m running for Baltimore County Council, District 3—because our community deserves leadership that is prepared to govern and ready to deliver.

About: Tyrod Haynes
My Journey to Serve
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.
I am a seminary college graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies, and my faith is not just something I speak about—it is what grounds my life, my work, and my commitment to serve with integrity.
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, Maryland League of Conservation Voters and Sierra club because climate justice is quality-of-life justice.
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 in District 3 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.
Thank you
I am deeply grateful to the elected officials and leaders who joined us to honor the legacy of John Lewis “Good Trouble”
• Senator Shelley Hettleman
• Councilman Julian Jones Jr.
. Chair of the BCDSCC Dr. Charlotte Wood
• A representative from Delegate Pasteur’s Office
• The President of the ACLU
• Community organizations including Indivisible and Love Thy Neighbor
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.
National Action network (NAN)
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.
Environmental Caretaker
Environmental issues are Citizens issues.
Environmental issues are very important to me.
They affect our health, our economy, and the quality of life in every neighborhood. Clean air, safe water, and responsible development are not luxuries—they are basic expectations. As a community leader, I believe environmental stewardship and public responsibility go hand in hand.
Important Environmental Initiatives I Support
1. Safeguarding the Strategic Energy Investment Fund (SEIF)
The Strategic Energy Investment Fund must remain dedicated to its original purpose: conservation, clean energy investment, climate resilience, and energy assistance for those who need it most. These funds should serve Marylanders—not be diverted away from their intended mission.
2. The CHERISH Our Communities Act
This legislation strengthens environmental justice by requiring agencies such as the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Public Service Commission to consider cumulative pollution impacts, not just single permits, when making decisions that affect public health.
3. The Transportation and Climate Alignment Act
Maryland’s transportation spending must align with climate goals. This means prioritizing low- or zero-emission investments—sidewalks, crosswalks, bike infrastructure, and public transit—alongside, not secondary to, high-emission projects.
4. Power Maryland Forward
Maryland should pursue the fastest, most affordable energy solutions available: solar paired with energy storage. We must resist further fossil fuel expansion, rein in unchecked utility profits, and make smarter use of the electric grid we already have.
Leadership at the Local Level
“As a Baltimore County Council member for District 3, I can’t rewrite federal law—but I can stop environmental harm at the local level. Zoning, budgeting, transportation, and land-use decisions are where environmental justice either lives or dies. And that’s where I intend to lead.”
