I’m James Handley. I’m a husband and father, raising my two children in Ellicott City with my wife, Garima.

 

Given the current crisis of our democracy, Howard County needs fighters who will champion our Democratic values. Every day, I fight for Marylanders as an Assistant Attorney General. Before becoming a lawyer, I was a solider, with combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

​

With years of experience in high-stakes problem solving and government leadership, I'm ready to serve again as your next Howard County Council Member in District One.
