Josh Ludwig Challenging Mr. Stegmaier for Republican Nomination May 15, 2021
Josh comes from a mid-western American family: his grandfather was a pastor, his father a Marine and career police officer. Josh is proud of America, a country like no other, which welcomed his mother from Mexico and his beautiful wife from India. He earned his Aerospace Engineering degree from Missouri S&T by working alternate semesters in Virginia, and settled here immediately after college. He has four children (three at home, one adult son away at college) of which he is immensely proud. Josh moved his family to Frederick County for its conservative values, quality of life, and family-friendly environment. His only interest in politics is to help ensure these values are maintained. He wants to preserve low taxes and ensure small and effective government. He believes in full county transparency, so taxpayers can see where all their taxes are spent and exactly what their children are taught in schools. |
