Eric Fiori Incumbent
Republican
Fiori won the Republican primary with 594 votes (58.52%) to Tim VanVonno's 421.
He was elected to the County Commissioners in 2022 and is serving his first term. His county biography says he serves on the County Water and Sewer Advisory Board and the Tri-County Council for the Lower Eastern Shore.
The county describes Fiori as an entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience. He founded Bayside Jet Drive in Ocean City in 2001 and is a partner in Forgotten Fifty Distilling and Restaurant in Berlin. His official biography emphasizes entrepreneurship, construction, local regulation, and planned growth that creates local jobs and opportunities.
The last point is the county biography's description of his focus, not an independently assigned characterization.
