Karson Kamenetz brings his family history and campaign message to District 4 in Baltimore County

/

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.
