Laura Neuman Plans Run for Anne Arundel Executive in 2014

The former Howard County official was appointed to run Anne Arundel County following predecessor John Leopold's resignation

By Tyler Waldman

Anne Arundel County Executive and former head of the Howard County Economic Development Laura Neuman said this week she plans to run to keep her seat.

Neuman told The Capital Gazette editorial board Wednesday she will run in the 2014 election.

Neuman was appointed by the County Council in February to finish out the term of John Leopold, who resigned after he was convicted on two counts of criminal misconduct in office.

Neuman, an Annapolis Republican, formed a campaign committee earlier this year, but a formal announcement on her campaign will come later this year.

“My focus right now is on running the county,” she told the paper's editorial board.

Neuman has approximately a dozen fundraisers scheduled in the coming months, she told the paper.
