About this candidate
From ryanshaban.com:’m Ryan, and this website is simple because I made it myself- and my platform is simple too. I’m a cybersecurity professional, Army veteran, and father of two running to represent District 31 in the Maryland House of Delegates. I live in Glen Burnie with my wife, our daughters, and our dogs. This is my community, and I’m fighting to make it work better for working families. I spent 13 years in the Army, first in logistics where I deployed to Afghanistan, then as an Counterintelligence Special Agent. Now I protect critical systems as a Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management Analyst, working with agencies like DIA, DISA, and CMS. I know how to solve complex problems under pressure and how to spot fraud, waste, and abuse from a mile away. My platform isn’t complicated: make government work efficiently for the everyday people, invest in programs that benefit the people and deliver measurable results, and stop wasting taxpayer dollars on things that don’t work. I’m a Teddy Roosevelt Democrat- progressive on economics and the environment, libertarian on personal freedom, and relentless about fiscal accountability. I don’t fit in neat partisan boxes because good policy isn’t about ideology- it’s about what actually works. District 31 deserves a delegate who will fight for results, not rhetoric.

About this candidate
From chisholmformaryland.com:I was raised in Anne Arundel County, growing up in a proud blue-collar family. To give you an idea–my father, “BigChiz”, worked as a bricklayer, which, by default, made me the brick carrier. I’m a product of our public school system, attended Anne Arundel Community College, and later transferred to Clemson University, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Marketing.
