Harford County Board of Education president files to run for County Council, other seat swaps highlight county races

After multiple filing deadline extensions, the ballots for the upcoming primaries are more crowded than The Aegis’ former candidate roundup, which only included Harford County Council candidates. We’ve also included the candidates running for county executive, state’s attorney, register of wills, sheriff and clerk of circuit court. There are 11 additional County Council candidates who joined races during the filing extension, including Harford County Board of Education President Rachel Gauthier. Gauthier, who’s served on the school board since 2015, filed her council candidacy paperwork last Thursday, a day before the April 15 filing deadline.
