“I enthusiastically support and endorse Harry Huntley for Alderman of Ward 1 in the upcoming 2025 City of Annapolis election. I’ve seen Harry work hard on the City Council. He is already leading the Finance Committee with ingenuity and a passion for effectively sharing ideas and priorities between the Council and administration. I’ve appreciated his approach to communicating with and seeking input from residents and then applying that input to his decision-making. His energy is refreshing, inspiring, and contagious.
If you don’t already know Harry, his day job is making governments greener and more efficient, which are lessons that benefit Annapolis. He is making it easier for people who love Annapolis to invest in our city, protecting and restoring our natural resources, and making commonsense improvements to make city government more trustworthy and effective.”
Jared Littmann
Candidate for Annapolis Mayor
“Harry cares deeply about our community, he listens to all his neighbors, and he's already working hard to get things done for Annapolis. I know what it takes to sit on the city council, and I’ve been very impressed with Harry’s ‘Let’s make it happen!’ attitude towards improving city government.
Shaneka Henson
District 30 State Senator, former Alderwoman
“As a 28-year Ward 1 resident and small business advocate, I’m backing Harry Huntley because he gets it (and he works hard!). He’s focused on protecting what makes Annapolis special, cutting red tape, supporting our neighborhoods, and making it easier for people to live and do business here.”
Laura Richards
Monticello, Business Consultant
“When I first met Harry Huntley, my old-person reaction was that he seemed like he was having too much fun to serve as an alderman. Then I watched him in action.
He understands that Ward 1 is a place where people love their community and demand a voice in its future. He also understands that longstanding problems can and must be addressed. He listens constantly, does thorough research, and when it’s time to make a decision, he explains how he came to it. And he lays it all out clearly in his regular newsletters. That’s why I proudly endorse Harry Huntley for Annapolis City Council Ward 1.”
Steuart Pittman
Anne Arundel County Executive
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Harry Huntley as a neighbor, and it’s clear he’s full of energy and genuine passion for making Annapolis better. He’s always talking about smart, practical ways to cut through the red tape that makes city living frustrating, and we need that drive and common sense in our Ward One Alderman.”
Jared Lerner
Madison Place, Presidents Hill Community Association Board Member
“Harry is the right candidate at the right moment. He possesses not only the technical expertise to soundly consider the complex issues contemplated by our City Council, but he also exhibits the open-mindedness and fresh perspectives that will propel Annapolis forward to its fullest potential.”
Clinton Ramsden
College Ave, Business Owner, Navy Grad
“In a matter of a few months Harry demonstrated his enthusiasm and commitment as an outstanding Alderman representing our Ward One. I can’t imagine anyone else hitting the ground running as has Harry. He has my full support for the upcoming election to the City Council.”
Stu Cohen
Dean Street, Public Interest Lawyer
“I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with Harry on policy to clean up the Chesapeake Bay and build more resilient communities; I’ve seen firsthand just how thoughtful and effective he is as a legislator. As a downtown resident, there’s no one I’m more excited to have representing me as alderman and I hope you’ll join me in supporting him.”
Dylan Behler
Downtown resident, District 30A Delegate
"I couldn't be more pleased to endorse Harry for Ward 1 Alderperson. I'm a small-scale (some might say micro) developer and community advocate. My favorite thing in the world is to support a neighbor to take the next step to meet a need he sees in our community.
Annapolis' governance has often gotten in the way of these kinds of small, incremental, steps to make our community more vibrant and equitable. It's the big oversized projects that have the means to overcome ineffective governance. The solution is responsive, transparent, and effective leadership on the city council, and Harry Huntley has been exactly that.
I have truly never seen such transparency in government on every single matter before the city council. Just check his weekly newsletter! Even better, Harry has proven in action what others only lend words to, namely, that he is here to work tirelessly on behalf of his neighbors."
Jeremy Olsen
Southgate, community developer
“Harry listens, he does his research, he gets results. He's been an extraordinarily effective alderman.”
Mike Parker
Madison Place, Local historian
“Harry is—without question—the best candidate I could imagine for Annapolis City Council. He brings a rare blend of intelligence, creativity, passion, and empathy to everything he does. His commitment to public service and his unmatched work ethic make him a leader our city can count on.
Professionally, Harry has dedicated his career to advancing environmental policy across all levels of government—federal, state, and local. This breadth of experience gives him a deep understanding of how policy is shaped and implemented, and a clear vision for how to make real change.
In a city like Annapolis, where federal, state, and local agencies converge regularly, this level of policy fluency is not just an asset—it’s essential. Harry knows how government works, and more importantly, he knows how to make it work for the people of Annapolis.
I wholeheartedly support Harry's candidacy, and I encourage others to join me in voting for someone who combines knowledge, integrity, and a true passion for our community."”
Aaron McCrady
Germantown Resident, downtown small business owner
“Harry Huntley is simply the right candidate at the right time.”
Linda Larson
Dean Street, lifelong Annapolitan, former alderman's daughter
“I’m proud to endorse Alderman Harry Huntley, a dedicated public servant who brings tireless energy, strong family values, and a genuine commitment to our community. He consistently has put in the hard work to support local residents and ensure our businesses have the resources and attention they need to thrive. Our city is stronger because of his leadership.”
Joydeep Som
Annapolis resident, doctor, downtown business owner
“You're doing a great job!”
Marylou Vincent
Spa View Circle
“I’m proud to support Harry Huntley for re-election as Ward 1 Alderman. Harry stands out because he does what he promises—and does it quickly. He listens to residents, communicates openly, and gets things done, from fixing sidewalks to leading key redevelopment projects. Harry’s energy, politeness, and problem-solving skills are exactly what Annapolis needs.
With his experience as an agricultural policy analyst and as chair of the Finance Committee, Harry brings fresh ideas and a practical approach to every challenge. He’s earned the support of teachers, small business owners, city officials, and neighbors because he delivers real results, always with honesty and respect.
Ward 1 couldn’t ask for a better advocate. I vote to re-elect Harry Huntley—someone who truly listens, leads, and delivers for our community."
Inna Young
"When he first sought the council seat, Harry came to my business to see how things are going, and what city government could be doing better to support the business. Harry shows his values by showing up, whether it’s for the party, the city, its residents, or its businesses. That’s something that’s very important to me and a true show of character, and that’s why I’m proud to endorse Harry’s candidacy for Ward 1 Alderman.”
"
Spencer Jones
President of Chick and Ruth's Delly
“I’m excited to support Harry Huntley for Ward 1 Alderman. His pragmatic approach hits the right balance for citizens and businesses. Harry focuses on listening and transparency - he takes the time to keep residents informed on what the city is doing, gives his perspective and rationale on issues, and asks for input. I’ve never seen that level of engagement before, and I greatly appreciate it. He also makes sure our voices are heard. His bill supporting ranked choice for Annapolis elections would allow us to vote for our preferred candidate more effectively. I’m a huge fan of ranked choice voting, which focuses less on party labels and lets voters choose their preferred candidates. In this time of extreme partisanship, I welcome all steps to put voters instead of political parties in charge.”
Ann White
Southgate, Professor
“I am so delighted that Harry Huntley has joined the City Council as my alderman. Harry’s day job is in management including experience in dealing with government and legislation on all levels – and he brings all those skills to his aldermanic role. There is no greater challenge than Chair of the Finance Committee – it’s a huge job involving an eye for detail, great deal of knowledge, an ability to facilitate compromise and make tough decisions. He did his research, organized it, brought everyone to the table and brought it all home in record time as his initiation by fire to the Council – all this starting almost immediately after being sworn in.
Ward One is a particularly demanding Ward with a myriad of highly vocal special interests: the residents, the Historic District, the retail businesses and hospitality, not to mention two educational institutions and the State government. Harry has been exceptionally responsive to all, straightforward in his choices and happy to explain his reasoning. Nancy Pelosi used to say, “Representative is not just your title. It’s your job description.” Harry embodies that concept for Ward One.”
McShane Glover
Archwood Avenue, lifelong Annapolitan, social worker, patron of the arts
“Harry Huntley has served Ward One well during his tenure on City Council. He is a good listener and provides a pragmatic approach to solving issues in our town. As a 48 year resident of Ward One I encourage you to support Harry.”
Gary Jobson
Thompson Street, World-renowned sailor
“Harry is a practical problem-solver who researches and listens. He will talk to anyone about any subject and will tell you what he supports and why he supports it. He cares about Ward One residents; he cares about what makes Annapolis unique; he cares about the heritage and traditions of the city. And he is willing to work to make Annapolis a better place. That is why we enthusiastically endorse him.”
