Harford Sheriff Race: Continuity vs Change

Harford County’s Sheriff race is heating up as veteran incumbent Jeffrey Gahler, with 30 years in law enforcement, defends his record on continuity and experience, while challenger Keith Runk, also a Maryland State Police vet, calls for sweeping change, emphasizing collaboration over conflict. Both agree on immigration enforcement’s importance under the 287(g) program but differ on approach—Gahler champions current methods, Runk pushes for legal, bipartisan solutions. They also align on the need for a new training center in Aberdeen, though Runk prioritizes budget and detention center upgrades first. Runk also highlights mental health support for deputies and their families as a top priority. Two seasoned leaders, two very different visions—both promising to serve Harford County’s best interests.
