It’s always lively when we convene with Allen McCallum and Luke Jones on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour for a sit down and baseball conversation.

Baltimore Positive

His father Kevin served as Baltimore County Executive and was on the campaign trail with an attempt to become Governor of Maryland when he tragically died in 2018, so it’s not a huge surprise that youthful Karson Kamenetz would be dipping his toes into the political realm with a run at the county council seat at stake in the 4th District on the northwest side of the beltway.
