The Washington County Republican Central Committee has put forth a recommendation to Maryland Governor Wes Moore, advocating for the appointment of Neil Parrott to fill the vacancy on the Board of County Commissioners. This position was previously held by Colonel Derek Harvey, a retired U.S. Army officer. The committee highlighted Parrott’s extensive background, citing his 30 years of experience in civil engineering and project management, alongside two decades of civic leadership. His history of supporting conservative candidates was also emphasized as a key qualification for the role.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The Republican Central Committee views this as a pivotal moment for the party in Washington County, pointing to the current Commissioners’ efforts in enhancing public safety and public works. As the county approaches its primary election, with early voting commencing on June 11 and concluding on June 18, and the primary election day set for June 23, 2026, the committee stressed the importance of electing all five Republican Commissioner candidates in the upcoming general election in November. The committee has formally requested that Governor Moore appoint and the Maryland Senate confirm Parrott’s appointment within a 15-day timeframe, aligning with the provisions of Maryland Code, Local Government, §9-402, while the Senate remains in session. The committee also expressed gratitude to all individuals who applied for the Commissioner vacancy, acknowledging their commitment to serving the residents of Washington County and the effort they invested in the application process.
Parrott is a former Maryland delegate for Washington County, and has unsuccessfully run for Congress multiple times in 2020, 2022, and 2024. He was endorsed by Family Research Council PAC in 2024 as part of his Congressional run.
