ROOTED IN HARFORD COUNTY

Elliott was born and raised in Harford County, where he grew up surrounded by the values of hard work, community, and pride in where you live. From a young age, he saw firsthand what makes Harford County special. Tight-knit neighborhoods, strong schools, and families who look out for one another.

Those experiences shaped his commitment to preserving the character of the community while making sure future generations have the same opportunities to live and succeed here.

PUBLIC SERVICE & LEADERSHIP

Elliott has built his leadership experience through active involvement in the Harford County community. As Chairman of the Harford County Young Republicans, he works to connect with residents, support local efforts, and encourage greater civic engagement.

His experience also includes working on Governor Larry Hogan’s U.S. Senate campaign, where he gained insight into how policy decisions impact communities across Maryland.

These experiences have reinforced his belief that leadership should be practical, responsive, and focused on delivering real results for the people it serves.
