Frederick County delegation considers new approach to sheriff’s salary increase

The state delegation for Frederick County is considering a new approach for increasing the salary of the Frederick County sheriff — an initiative that has failed in Annapolis the past two years in a row. During a meeting of the Frederick County delegation on Friday, state Sen. Karen Lewis Young (D-3) sought the delegation’s support on a bill that would implement a salary increase for the sheriff who takes office after the 2026 election.
