Billy Boniface, Republican for Harford County Executive

Harford County is a special place. It’s a place where hard work is respected, where service to the community is valued, where the beauty of the land is cherished, and where one’s family always comes first. Few people understand and appreciate that as much as Billy Boniface.   

Wanting to further serve his community, Billy was twice elected countywide as President of the Harford County Council. As a first-time candidate in 2006, he won the most votes in a contested race for local office in Harford County history to that point and ran unopposed for re-election in 2010. During his time as Council President, funding for Harford’s school system increased by 29% per student. In addition, significant capital funding was allocated for new schools, libraries, and activity centers, and nearly 4,000 acres of farmland were permanently preserved. Despite these initiatives, through his strict oversight of the county’s budget during his leadership of the County Council, property taxes were reduced three times, saving Harford taxpayers $107 million.
