Senator Steve Hershey has built a career defined by steady leadership, disciplined decision-making, and a commitment to the people he serves. A lifelong Marylander, engineer, and business professional, Steve entered public service with a simple goal: make government work the way Marylanders expect it to — responsibly, transparently, and with respect for the people who fund it.

For more than a decade in the Maryland Senate, Steve has earned a reputation for being prepared, accessible, and focused on results instead of rhetoric. As Senate Minority Leader, he has led with integrity and a clear understanding that Maryland is strongest when government is accountable, families are secure, and businesses have the freedom to grow. Steve believes that leadership begins with listening — and throughout his service, he has traveled the state, met with families and job creators, and worked across the aisle to deliver practical solutions that strengthen communities.

He is now exploring a campaign for Governor because Maryland needs balanced, experienced leadership that protects taxpayers, restores public safety, keeps our state competitive, and ensures every region, rural, suburban, and urban, has a voice in Annapolis.
