Dedicated to Frederick County and its people
Sam Newhouse is a community organizer, advocate, and lifelong champion for working families in Frederick County. With deep roots in local activism and a passion for transparent governance, Sam brings a fresh perspective to county leadership.
Sam believes that good government starts with showing up — at town halls, at community events, and in the everyday conversations that shape policy. That is why he has spent years building coalitions, listening to neighbors, and fighting for the changes Frederick needs.
Together with his wife Anne, Sam is committed to making Frederick County a place where every family can thrive — where housing is affordable, schools are fully funded, and government works for the people it serves.
“Frederick County deserves leaders who show up, listen, and fight for every resident — not just the well-connected. I am running because our community is worth fighting for.”— Sam Newhouse
