John Anthony Olszewski Jr.[1] (/oʊˈʃɛski/ aal-SHEV-skee; born September 10, 1982) is an American politician and the current Baltimore County Executive. He previously served two terms in the Maryland House of Delegates representing District 6.[2]

Early life and education

Olszewski is the son of former county councilmember John Olszewski (pictured in 2014)

Olszewski was the eldest of three sons born to father John Olszewski, a lobbyist and a former member of the Baltimore County Council from 1998 to 2014, and mother Sherry Olszewski.[3][4] He was raised in Dundalk, Maryland,[5] and graduated from Sparrows Point High School in 2000.[6]

Following high school, he attended Goucher College, from which he graduated with a bachelor's in political science and American studies. After college, Olszewski pursued a master's in political management from George Washington University, which he obtained in 2006. In 2017, Olszewski earned a doctorate from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.[2]

Career

Olszewski was appointed to the Baltimore County Board of Education as the student member of the board, serving from 1999 to 2000.[2][6] He was later elected to a term on the Maryland Democratic State Central Committee, serving from 2002 to 2006.[2] After graduating from Goucher, Olszewski began teaching social studies and special education at Patapsco High School and Center for the Arts for five years and worked as a countywide resource teacher for two years.[7][8]

In the legislature

In June 2006, Olszewski was nominated by the Baltimore County Democratic Central Committee to fill the seat left by the resignation of John S. Arnick, who had resigned to accept an appointment to the Maryland Board of Contract Appeals. Governor Bob Ehrlich appointed Olszewski to the seat on June 10,[9] and was sworn in on June 12.[2] Olszewski was elected to a full four-year term in 2006 and subsequently re-elected in 2010.

Olszewski in the Maryland House of Delegates, 2012

In 2011, Olszewski was elected as chairman of the Baltimore County Delegation, making him the youngest person to ever fill that role.[10]

In 2012, Olszewski served as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, pledged to President Barack Obama.[11]

In July 2013, Olszewski announced that he would run for the Maryland Senate, seeking to succeed Norman R. Stone Jr., who had announced that he would retire at the end of his term in 2014.[12] The district was targeted by the Maryland Republican Party during the 2014 Maryland Senate election following declining union membership in the Dundalk area,[13] and Olszewski specifically was targeted for his vote for Maryland's "Rain Tax".[14] In the general election, Olszewski faced Republican candidate Johnny Ray Salling and unaffiliated candidate Scott Collier.[15] Olszewski was defeated by Salling in the general election[16] by a margin of 851 votes, or by 2.8 percent.[17]

Following his defeat, Olszewski worked as a senior account executive at SAS Institute.[18] He also created a group called A Better Baltimore County to travel across the county and listen to voters' concerns,[19] and worked as a lobbyist in Baltimore's transportation department, promoting issues such as the Baltimore Red Line.[20][21]

Committee assignments

  • Member, Environmental Matters Committee, 2006[2]
  • Ways and Means Committee, 2007–2010 (education subcommittee, 2007–2010; revenues subcommittee, 2007–2008; election law subcommittee, 2009–2010)[2]
  • Joint Information Technology and Biotechnology Committee, 2011–2014[2]
  • Economic Matters Committee, 2011–2015 (property & casualty insurance subcommittee, 2011–2015; public utilities subcommittee, 2011–2015; chair, banking, economic development, science & technology subcommittee, 2014–2015)[2]

Baltimore County Executive

In April 2017, Dundalk Eagle reported that Olszewski was considering a run for Baltimore County Executive, seeking to succeed Kevin Kamenetz, who was term-limited.[22] On June 27, 2017, Olszewski announced his candidacy in the 2018 Baltimore County Executive election.[18] In the Democratic primary, he faced state senator James Brochin, county councilwoman Vicki Almond, and Kevin Francis Marron.[23] He received endorsements from The Baltimore Sun, state delegate Stephen W. Lafferty,[20] the Baltimore-D.C. Building Trades Unions, and former governor Martin O'Malley.[24] Olszewski won the Democratic primary in June 2018, edging out state senator James Brochin by nine votes.[25] Following a recount, Olszewski's lead over Brochin expanded to 17 votes.[26]

In the general election, Olszewski faced former Republican state delegate Alfred W. Redmer Jr.,[27] who sought to tie Olszewski to Democratic gubernatorial nominee Ben Jealous.[28][29][30] Olszewski re-positioned himself from being a "progressive Democrat" to pitching a message of bipartisanship.[19] Olszewski defeated Redmer in the general election on November 6, 2018, receiving 57.8 percent of the vote to Redmer's 42 percent.[31]

Olszewski being sworn in as county executive, 2018

Olszewski was sworn in as Baltimore County Executive on December 3, 2018.[32] He was subsequently re-elected in 2022.[33][34]

In December 2023, Olszewski became the president of the Maryland Association of Counties.[35]

Olszewski was seen as a possible candidate for the 2024 United States Senate election in Maryland after Ben Cardin announced he would not seek re-election,[36] but he declined to run, endorsing Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks instead.[37] In June 2023, he launched an exploratory committee into running for Maryland's 2nd congressional district in the event that Dutch Ruppersberger retires.[38]

Controversy

In July 2021, Olszewski proposed legislation to create a board consisting of political appointees to oversee the Baltimore County inspector general, an office which he created. This proposal was later dropped following backlash over the makeup of the board.[39] In October 2021, Olszewski created an independent Commission on Ethics and Accountability to review the county's ethics laws and examine the office of the inspector general.[40][41][42] In April 2022, the Baltimore County Council voted 6–1 to approve paying a contractor $99,000 to help the commission.[43] The commission began its work on June 5, 2022,[44] and released its final report on February 17, 2023, which provided several recommended changes for the office, but was not in favor of creating an oversight board of the county inspector general.[45] In May 2023, Olszewski said he would not create an oversight board for the inspector general.[46]

In December 2021, the Baltimore County inspector general opened an investigation into Olszewski's aides intervening to approve the application of David Cordish, a wealthy Baltimore County developer, for an indoor "tennis barn" next to his Greenspring Valley home.[47] Cordish was initially instructed to schedule an administrative hearing for variances that would allow for construction to break ground for the tennis barn, as the project was deemed to be too big to be an "accessory structure" for his residence. However, then-county permit director Mike Millanoff authorized Cordish's project to move forward without an administrative hearing.[48] In July 2022, the Baltimore County inspector general found that it appeared developer David Cordish was given "preferential treatment" to build an indoor tennis facility when key zoning approvals were given, despite the opposition from some within the permits department.[49] Cordish's "tennis barn" was never built.[50]

Political positions

While in the Maryland House of Delegates, Olszewski was described as a blue-collar, pro-labor but socially conservative Democrat.[12] During his county executive campaign, he described himself as being both a "principled Democrat"[22] as well as a "progressive Democrat".[51][52]

COVID-19 pandemic

On March 12, 2020, the Maryland Department of Health confirmed the first case of COVID-19 in Baltimore County, Maryland. Later that night, Olszewski announced that the county would close all senior centers and would immediately suspend all nonessential out-of-state travel for employees.[53][54] On March 24, Olszewski requested support from the Maryland National Guard to provide humanitarian and emergency management assistance in Baltimore County.[55] On April 12, after President Donald Trump ordered General Motors to begin manufacturing ventilators for COVID-19 patients at auto plants, Olszewski asked Trump to reopen its shuttered plant at White Marsh, Maryland for the same purpose.[56]

After Governor Hogan announced the start of the state's partial reopening on May 13, Olszewski said they would take "a close look" at Hogan's actions and determine their course in the next 24 hours. At the time, Baltimore County had 12 percent of the state's case count.[57] On May 14, Olszewski said that most restrictions would remain in effect.[58] On May 20, Olszewski signed onto a letter expressing concern about the consequences of Hogan's partial reopening and asking for guidance from the administration as they decided how to proceed.[59] He also announced that appointment-free drive-through testing would be available at the Maryland State Fairgrounds.[60] On June 10, after Governor Hogan announced the next stage of the state's partial reopening, Olszewski said he would review the governor's executive order before deciding whether to follow it.[61]

In July 2020, as hospitalization rates began to rise again, Olszewski issued a new indoor mask mandate and chastised Governor Hogan for being "absent" from weekly briefings with Maryland's eight largest counties and Baltimore City, urging him to return to their weekly dialogue.[62] He also signed onto a letter demanding that Hogan adopt a mail-in election format for the November 3 general election.[63] In September, Olszewski proposed allocating $3 million in federal relief funds for the county's rental assistance program to help alleviate the amount of evictions following the end of the state's eviction moratorium.[64] In November, Olszewski issued an executive order banning social gatherings larger than 25 people[65] and formed a task force to inspect more than 7,000 establishments in Baltimore County to ensure that they were complying with COVID-19 orders.[66] In December, Olszewski signed an executive order blocking restaurants from collecting more than 15 percent in commission from food delivery app orders.[67]

Olszewski and Governor Larry Hogan tour the Maryland State Fairgrounds mass vaccination site, 2021

In January 2021, Olszewski opened the county's first vaccination clinic at the Maryland State Fairgrounds.[68] Governor Hogan called the Fairgrounds vaccination clinic the "best operation in the state" and later announced in March 2021 that it would be converted to a mass vaccination site in partnership with Baltimore County.[69] In June 2021, after Governor Hogan lifted most of the state's COVID-19 restrictions, Olszewski said he would allow the county's state of emergency declaration to expire on July 9.[70] In August 2021, Olszewski issued a new indoor masking requirement and declared a new state of emergency following a spike in cases of the Delta variant.[71][72] In December 2021, Olszewski declared a new state of emergency and again required indoor masking amid a surge in cases of the omicron variant.[73] On February 14, 2022, Olszewski announced that the county would lift its indoor mask mandate and end required COVID-19 testing for unvaccinated employees.[74]

Crime

In February 2023, following the shooting death of 17-year-old Tre'shaun Harmon in Towson, Maryland, Olszewski pledged additional security measures in downtown Towson.[75]

Education

In 2000, Olszewski lobbied for a bill that would provide the student member of the Baltimore County Board of Education with full voting rights.[6]

During his county executive campaign, Olszewski said he would provide $2 billion toward school renovations, raise teacher salaries by 20 percent, expand tuition-free community college, and creating universal pre-kindergarten. He said he would fund these policies by scaling back the county's $300 million program to buy laptops and tablets for all students and through economic growth and more efficient tax spending.[17]

Olszewski supports the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, a sweeping education reform package passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 2020.[76][77]

In January 2020, Olszewski testified in support of the Built to Learn Act, a bill that would allow the Maryland Stadium Authority to issue up to $2.2 billion in bonds to pay for school construction projects.[78]

In April 2023, Olszewski proposed allocating $70 million toward increasing teacher salaries and expanding the county's free community college program.[79][80] The budget was unanimously passed by the Baltimore County Council on May 25, 2023.[81]

Electoral and ethical reform

During his county executive campaign, Olszewski said he supported establishing a public campaign finance system for Baltimore County elections.[82] In January 2019, he proposed an ethics reform package that included the creation of a public campaign finance system and the Office of Ethics and Accountability, prohibiting outgoing county officials from lobbying county government, and posting all lobbyist registrations online.[83] Voters approved the charter amendment creating the public campaign financing system during the 2020 elections, with 57.1 percent of voters supporting the measure.[84] In March 2021, Olszewski appointed a work group to make recommendations on how the county's public campaign financing system would work.[85] The work group released its findings in November 2021, which were implemented through the Fair Election Fund.[86] In February 2022, Olszewski testified in support of a bill that would allow local governments to expand public campaign finance programs to include more elected offices.[87]

In March 2022, after the Baltimore County NAACP filed a lawsuit against the county's councilmanic redistricting plan for not having enough majority-Black districts, Olszewski called on councilmembers to pass a new map that does so.[88]

In February 2023, Olszewski said he supported a bill to move Maryland's 2024 primary date from April 23 to April 16, 2024, citing that April 23 was the first full day of Passover;[89] the bill was signed into law by Governor Moore on May 11, 2023.[90]

In October 2023, Olszewski proposed legislation to codify and strengthen the county's inspector general's office.[91] He also supported a resolution to study expanding the county council.[92]

Environment

During the 2007 legislative session, following the proposal of a liquefied natural gas in Dundalk, Maryland by AES Corporation, Olszewski introduced a bill that would impose an impact fee on LNG-related development in Baltimore County.[93]

In 2013, Olszewski introduced a bill that would remove subsidies going to facilities that produce black liquor, redirecting it toward wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources.[94] The bill was rejected by the House Economic Matters Committee by a 11–8 vote, one vote short of the 12-vote majority needed to pass.[95]

During his 2018 county executive campaign, Olszewski pledged to create a timeline for county government entirely to renewable energy sources. In 2019, he created a new "chief sustainability officer" position within the government.[96] In February 2021, Olszewski spoke in support of a bill that would establish an Office on Climate Change within the governor's office to combat climate change.[97] In April 2021, Olszewski set a goal of using 100 percent renewable energy for government operations by 2026.[98]

In November 2021, Olszewski unveiled a planting program that would offer free trees to low-income, densely populated neighborhoods to reduce "heat islands" in urban parts of the county.[99]

In January 2023, Olszewski and Baltimore mayor Brandon Scott said they supported a bill that would establish the Task Force on Regional Water and Wastewater to modernize the governance of the Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Baltimore-area region's water and wastewater utility.[100][101] The bill was signed into law by Governor Wes Moore on April 11, 2023.[102]

Olszewski signs the Bring Your Own Bag Act, 2023

In February 2023, Olszewski signed into law the Bring Your Own Bag Act, which incentivizes shoppers to bring their own bags when shopping for groceries by banning plastic bags at large retailers and charge customers $0.05 per paper bag in checkout.[103][104] In October 2023, Olszewski vetoed a bill to allow stores to use thinner plastic bags and to exempt liquor stores from the plastic bag ban;[105] the Baltimore County Council voted to override his veto on the liquor store exemption bill in early November, but failed to override the veto to allow thinner plastic bags.[106]

In March 2023, Olszewski expressed concerns with a plan to process 675,000 gallons[107] of wastewater from the 2023 Ohio train derailment at the Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant.[108]

Gun control

In 2009, Olszewski voted against a bill that would prohibit accused domestic abusers from owning firearms, but for a bill that prohibited convicted domestic abusers from owning firearms.[20] In 2013, he voted against a bill that would have banned assault weapons in Maryland.[109] In 2014, the NRA Political Victory Fund gave Olszewski an "A" rating.[110][20] Olszewski later called this vote a "mistake",[17][111] saying that it was "a vote I've changed my mind on. I am focused on the future and the safety of our children."[23]

During the 2018 legislative session, Olszewski testified in support of "Leia's law", a bill that would make it a misdemeanor in Baltimore County to leave a loaded gun where a child aged 16 or 17 could access it.[23]

In November 2019, Olszewski proposed legislation that would require gun shops to install stronger security measures to protect firearms from burglaries.[112] In March 2022, Olszewski testified in support of a bill that would require gun shops to implement minimum security requirements to prevent gun theft.[113]

Health care

In March 2019, Olszewski appeared in an ad to support a bill establishing the Prescription Drug Affordability Board, a state agency to negotiate prescription drug prices.[114] During the 2021 legislative session, Olszewski urged the Maryland General Assembly to override Governor Larry Hogan's of a bill establishing a permanent funding source for the Prescription Drug Affordability Board.[115]

Housing and development

During his county executive campaign, Olszewski said he supported the construction of Towson Row, a proposed mixed-use development in central Towson, Maryland, but said he opposed using taxpayer dollars to pay for the project.[20]

In October 2018, Olszewski said he supported Baltimore County's agreement with the federal government to improve access to affordable housing, which would see the construction of 1,000 affordable housing units over 10 years.[116] He also framed his support of the agreement as a fight against discrimination.[19] During the 2019 legislative session, Olszewski said he supported a bill that would allow Baltimore County to impose impact fees onto developers to pay for roads and schools impacted by specific developments.[117] Olszewski later signed a bill into law imposing impact fees onto developers starting July 2020.[118] In 2023, he proposed a bill that would require landlords that rent out seven or more units to register their units with the county Department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections, which was unanimously passed by the Baltimore County Council in May 2023.[119]

During the 2020 legislative session, Olszewski testified in support of the Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) Act, a bill that would make it illegal for landlords to discriminate against prospective renters based on their lawful source of income.[120]

In May 2021, Olszewski signed a bill creating the Baltimore County Department of Housing and Community Development.[121]

From 2022 to 2023, Baltimore County acquired one-third of the property at Security Square Mall, seeking to renovate the declining mall into a community hub.[122][123] In June 2023, Olszewski said he supported a proposal to create a redevelopment authority to oversee the acquisition and redevelopment of property near the mall, setting aside $500,000 in his budget to fund the authority's creation,[124] and later signed a bill to create the authority in July.[125]

In April 2023, Olszewski issued his first-ever veto to a bill that would allow specific kinds of buildings into catering halls, arguing that the bill would be considered unconstitutional under the Maryland Constitution because it would "give special treatment to a single party of select few".[126]

In May 2023, after Guinness announced it would close its manufacturing plant in Relay, Maryland, Olszewski offered $500,000 in tax dollars to any Baltimore County brewery that would keep the plant open.[127]

Minimum wage

Olszewski testifies in support of the Fair Wage Act, 2023

During his county executive campaign, Olszewski said he supported raising the Maryland minimum wage to $15 an hour, saying that it would "give people a chance to earn a decent wage".[128] During the 2019 legislative session, Olszewski testified in support of a bill that would raise the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026.[129][130] In October 2020, Olszewski proposed legislation that would provide county workers with prevailing wages.[131] In February 2023, Olszewski testified in support of the Fair Wage Act, a bill that would accelerate the state's incremental minimum wage increase to be $15 an hour by 2023 and index future increases to the consumer price index.[132]

During the 2013 legislative session, Olszewski introduced the Maryland Paid Sick and Safe Leave Act, a bill that would require employers to offer paid sick leave to their workers.[133]

Social issues

Olszewski was seen as a key vote on the Civil Marriage Protection Act in 2011 and 2012. During the 2011 legislative session, Olszewski introduced an amendment to the Civil Marriage Protection Act that specified what religious programs could refuse providing services to same-sex couples.[134] During the 2012 legislative session, Olszewski expressed concerns about the legislation, mainly on how it would impact churches, mosques, and synagogues whose members abhor same-sex marriages, and said that he sought protections beyond simply letting religious institutions bar same-sex marriage ceremonies.[135] On February 16, 2012, Olszewski said he would vote for the Civil Marriage Protection Act, saying it would be a "disgrace" to go another year without giving Marylanders "equal protection".[136] The bill passed the Maryland House of Delegates on February 18 by a vote of 72–67.[137]

While in the House of Delegates, Olszewski received an overall approval rating of 30 percent from the Maryland Right to Life, which opposes abortion. When asked in 2010 if he identified as being pro-choice or pro-life, Olszewski said, "I believe that we must do all that we can do prevent unplanned pregnancies. Rather than focusing energies in an argument about 'pro life/pro choice' we should focus instead on eliminating the need for that choice in the first place." In 2014, he voted for a bill that would eliminate taxpayer funding of third-trimester abortions.[20] In June 2022, Olszewski condemned the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.[138] In July 2022, Olszewski said that Baltimore County officials would not cooperate with attempts to prosecute people who cross state lines to receive an abortion.[139]

In January 2019, Olszewski denounced the partial government shutdown and called on federal leaders to end the impasse.[140]

Transportation

Olszewski supports the revival of the Baltimore Red Line,[141] calling Governor Larry Hogan's decision to kill the proposed transit line "short-sighted".[142] In June 2023, he said he would support extending the Red Line to Sparrows Point, Maryland.[143]

In September 2020, Olszewski signed a letter opposing proposals by the Maryland Transit Administration to dramatically cut bus and rail services in the Baltimore region in 2021 following a historic decline in ridership and revenues.[144][145] Later that month, he praised the MTA's decision not to pursue cuts to Baltimore-area bus services.[146] In September 2021, Olszewski accused the Maryland Department of Transportation of neglecting Baltimore County's needs and called for "more sustained support and partnership" from state budgeteers.[147]

Personal life

Olszewski and his family during his county executive inauguration, 2022

Olszewski is married to Marisa Azzone, the current environmental policy manager for the Maryland League of Conservation Voters, whom he had met while attending Goucher College.[7] Together, they have a daughter and live in Sparrows Point, Maryland.[148]

Olszewski is a Methodist[149] and attends Lovely Lane United Methodist Church in Baltimore, Maryland.[2]
