Meet Josh Sines

Common Sense Leadership Rooted in Our Community

Lifelong Eastern Baltimore County Resident • Former Bethlehem Steel Worker • Truck Driver • Small Business Owner • Farmer • Community Advocate

I was born and raised in Eastern Baltimore County, graduated from Eastern Technical High School, and went to work at Bethlehem Steel’s Sparrows Point plant when I was 18 years old.

Those years taught me the value of hard work, keeping your word, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the people who keep our communities moving.

When the mill closed in 2012, I continued doing what I’ve always done: working hard. Today, I’m a truck driver, small business owner, and farmer, raising my family right here in the community that shaped me.

Standing Up for Our Communities

Long before I became a candidate, I was already showing up.

As President of the Essex Middle River Civic Council, I worked alongside residents to protect our neighborhoods, improve growth policies, strengthen public safety, advocate for environmental protections, and make sure our communities had a voice.

Whether it was fighting overdevelopment, strengthening school capacity protections, protecting our waterways, supporting volunteer fire companies, or helping preserve parks and open space, I’ve always believed leadership starts by listening and being present.

A Waterfront Community Worth Protecting

Growing up on the water shaped who I am.

I still enjoy fishing and crabbing, and I understand firsthand how important our rivers, creeks, parks, farms, and open spaces are to our quality of life.

My own farm is protected by a conservation easement with Gunpowder Valley Conservancy because I believe protecting our environment starts with leading by example.

I also believe conservation and responsible growth can go hand in hand. We can protect what makes District 8 special while revitalizing our existing communities and planning responsibly for the future.

Looking Ahead

I’m running for Baltimore County Council because I believe leadership means showing up, listening, telling people the truth, and delivering results.

I’ll work with anyone, Republican, Democrat, or Independent, to make our communities safer, strengthen public safety, protect our environment, revitalize our existing communities, and make sure Eastern Baltimore County finally gets the attention and resources it deserves.

That’s how I’ve served our communities for years, and it’s exactly how I’ll serve as your County Councilman.
