Republicans Shoemaker, Ellin lone contestants in Carroll County state’s attorney race

The Carroll County state’s attorney’s race will be decided in the primary election in July, with two Republicans and no Democrats vying for the position. Republicans Haven Shoemaker, a state delegate, and David Ellin, a private practice attorney, will face off in the primary, scheduled for July 19. Interim State’s Attorney Alan Culver took over the position from Brian DeLeonardo in June 2021. At that time DeLeonardo was appointed by Gov. Larry Hogan as a Carroll County Circuit Court judge.
