Ken Ulman (born May 4, 1974) was elected as County Executive of Howard County, Maryland in 2006.[1] He previously served as a County Council member representing District 4 of Howard County. He has served as Secretary of the Cabinet and Director, Board of Public Works in the Glendening administration. He lives in Columbia, Maryland with his wife and two daughters.

Early life and education

Ulman was born in Columbia, Maryland on May 4, 1974, and attended Centennial High School (Ellicott City, Maryland). Ulman interned at the White House and received a B.A. in Government & Politics at the University of Maryland, College Park in 1997.[2] Four years later, he received his J.D.[citation needed] from the Georgetown University Law Center and was admitted to the Maryland Bar Association. Ulman joined his father, Louis Jay Ulman, who is part of the firm Offit Kurman at Howard County's Maple Lawn Development, and the former Chairman of the Maryland Racing Commission appointed by Maryland Governor Parris N. Glendening. Prior to 2001 he served as director of the Maryland Board of Public Works determining state school construction allocations.[3][4] Ulman left his father's law firm partnership of Hodes, Ulman, Pessin & Katz, for which he worked on a contract basis, and subsequently started his own one-lawyer law firm in Columbia.[5]

Political activity

Ulman worked on campaigns to elect Bill Clinton in 1996, Maryland Governor Parris N. Glendening in 1998, and Kathleen Kennedy Towsend in 2002.[6] Ulman first ran for political office in 2002, when he sought the District 4 County Council seat being vacated by former Council member Mary Lorsung. Ulman won the Democratic primary by 50 votes, and beat Republican opponent Joan Lancos in the general election.[7][8] Ulman served a four-year term as a Council member in Howard County. In 2006, Ulman ran for County Executive against Republican Party opponent Christopher J. Merdon and independent candidate C. Stephen Wallis. A major theme of his campaign was his claim he played a role in preventing the closure of Columbia’s Merriweather Post Pavilion. Ulman won in the general election with 52 percent of the vote and was sworn in on December 4, 2006.

Ulman is Chair of the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board and Chair of the Baltimore Metropolitan Council. He serves on the Maryland Association of Counties' Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of the County Executives of America.

On June 3, 2013, Ulman announced that he would be running for Lt. Governor of Maryland as the running mate of gubernatorial candidate and incumbent Lieutenant Governor Anthony G. Brown in 2014.[9] On November 4, 2014, Brown and Ulman were defeated by the Republican ticket of Larry Hogan and Boyd Rutherford.
