Shelley Johnson
A Proven Local Leader for Somerset, Wicomico & Worcester Counties
Shelley Johnson is running for the Maryland House of Delegates because the Eastern Shore deserves a representative who understands our land, our waterways, and the daily lives of our families. As President of the Town of Princess Anne, she fights for healthier housing, stronger schools, safer communities, and respect for the people who built this region — our farmers, watermen, and elders.
Shelley leads with compassion, fairness, and action. She shows up. She listens. She fights for the people.
Now, she’s ready to take that leadership to Annapolis!
“Our people matter. Our land matters. Our future matters. I’m running because leaders should protect them all.”
Why Shelley?
Because she’s already doing the work.
Because she leads with heart.
Because she understands the unique needs of Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties.
Because the Eastern Shore deserves a Delegate who fights for all of us.
