Meet Nick Stewart
An Outsider with a Bold Plan for Progress
Nick Stewart grew up in Baltimore County and has deep roots in the community. Raised in the Timonium area, Nick comes from a family dedicated to service – his father owned a small healthcare business, his mother was a registered nurse and his grandmother spent her career with Baltimore County Public Schools.
After graduating from Dulaney High School, Nick earned his degree from the University of Maryland, College Park, and later attended The George Washington University Law School.
Nick married his college sweetheart Katie, and they started their family in Arbutus surrounded by its small town American charm. As the family grew, they eventually moved and are proud to be raising their four young kids (Charlotte, Thomas, Henry and William) in beautiful Catonsville, with everyone but their preschooler attending Baltimore County Public Schools.
Nick began his career in public service, first working for the City of Baltimore and later the State of Maryland under then-Mayor – and later Governor – Martin O’Malley. For the past 14 years, Nick has worked in the private sector as a business attorney, helping businesses and entrepreneurs navigate complex challenges and create jobs, giving him a strong understanding of economic development and policy.
Nick has spent his life fighting for Baltimore County families. He served on the Baltimore County School Board for nearly four years, including as Vice Chair, where he fought for commonsense education policy. He also spent eight years on the County’s Workforce Development Board, working to expand job training and economic growth. And, as a longtime board member of the Southwest Visions Foundation, he helped this nonprofit community development corporation secure grants, improve public spaces and empower local leaders to revitalize southwest Baltimore County.
Nick is a different type of candidate – one who is focused on listening to the people of Baltimore County and crafting new solutions. That’s why he co-founded We The People in 2021, an advocacy group focused on housing reform, smart growth and community revitalization in Baltimore County.
His work in both the public and private sectors allows him to bring fresh, results-driven solutions to the urgent challenges facing Baltimore County. Nick is running for County Executive because it’s time for an outsider who has the vision to meet this moment and the practical experience inside and outside government to back it up, move quickly and deliver for working families in Baltimore County.
Nick knows that Baltimore County’s greatest strength is its people and their values, including a belief in the dignity of each person and the shared responsibility to advance a common good. By holding fast to these values, Baltimore County can unite as “One County” and solve its own challenges.
