Wicomico County Executive

Davis won the Democratic nomination unopposed with 5,058 votes. He served on the County Council from 2014, is a lifelong county resident, and spent 20 years as a Maryland State Trooper after attending Wor-Wic and what was then Salisbury State. He has run two local businesses and coordinated the Glen T. Robinson Community Centre.

His campaign is organised around the word UNITY — understanding, neighbourhoods, integrity, teamwork, and "you" — which he frames as listening first, investing across neighbourhoods, and honest and accountable county government.

His platform is a list of specific commitments rather than themes. On schools he would work with the Board of Education on safety, raise the county's per-student contribution, and help the superintendent recruit and keep teachers. On water and sewer he would create a county sanitation department and hire a director to carry out the existing water-and-sewer plan. He would continue broadband expansion and seek funding to finish it countywide.

At the airport he would continue the runway expansion, improve hangars, and bring in an aircraft-maintenance business. He would help the Sheriff and the Warden recruit and retain staff, meet volunteer firefighters to plan around station demands, back farmers' right to farm, build a rails-to-trails route, finish Pirates Wharf Park, and meet regularly with the county's municipalities.

He did not complete the Baltimore Sun and Capital Gazette's questionnaire, and the League of Women Voters recorded no response from either candidate in this race by its primary print deadline.

Giordano won the Republican nomination unopposed with 5,097 votes. She is the sitting County Executive, sworn in on December 6, 2022, and the first woman elected to the office. She holds a communications degree from Salisbury University, worked in special events and human resources, then taught English in Wicomico County Public Schools for more than a decade, earning a master's in educational leadership in 2013.

Her official county page names fiscal responsibility, public safety, educational excellence and economic development as her priorities. Her FY2027 budget, submitted in April 2026, was presented as balanced and focused on tax relief and core services.

Her campaign runs on that record, and the claims below are the campaign's own. It says the administration has delivered balanced budgets and property tax rate reductions, funded education, increased aid to volunteer fire and EMS, and won state and federal grants for parks, land preservation and water and sewer work. It credits her with the UMES aviation-maintenance school that opened in August 2025, new Breeze Airways service at Salisbury Regional Airport including nonstop flights to Orlando, two St. John Properties commercial developments, full funding of the Board of Education's budget request, and a commitment to a new Fruitland Primary School. It also attributes a Moody's upgrade from Aa2 to Aa1 partly to county financial management — an attribution the campaign makes, which we have not checked against Moody's or the county's financial statements.

She sits on the Maryland Association of Counties board of directors.
