Green was elected to the Berlin Town Council in 2022, representing District 1. While he has enjoyed serving the Town of Berlin, Green said his decision to seek county office is driven by dissatisfaction with the direction and leadership of county government. At the county level, Green looks forward to continuing serving as a voice for Berlin.

Green initially filed in May 2025 as an Unaffiliated candidate. In January, he was informed by the Maryland State Board of Elections that independent candidates are not permitted to run in a primary election and must instead complete a post-primary petition process to qualify for the general election ballot.

Green has served 12 years on the Atlantic General Hospital Foundation including three years as president. Green is a Board member of Stevenson United Methodist Church as well as Worcester Preparatory School.

Policy Objectives

• Transparency: Worcester County currently operates in a vacuum. I believe the county’s voters deserve better. I pledge to be a transparent, accountable commissioner who is visible in the community and available for constituents. I believe it’s critical for the county to open itself up and allow for more public comments at public meetings (rather than just comments germane to the meeting agenda items). I support more transparency in how the government operates.
  

• Public safety: We have nothing in our community if we do not feel safe in it. The county is falling behind with its staffing and losing out to the competition in securing and retaining our officers. I would focus the immediate priority here on the personnel rather than buying new equipment and replacing vehicles. Once our workforce is solid, we can move on to the wants. In the meantime, the needs must be met.
  

• Public education: About half of the county’s budget is spent on public education each year and it’s an investment in our future. The Board of Education should continue to be the leading funding allocation in the county’s budget. Worcester must continue to fund the school system at the requested level to ensure we do not lose our best and brightest educators to other jurisdictions. I have had numerous conversations with teachers who left outstanding schools to new jobs in Wicomico and Sussex because the pay is higher. We cannot let this trend continue. I will also be a commissioner who will be seen in schools and graduations. This is an easy commitment because I already am. More to come on this topic in later questions.
  

• Health care: We are blessed in Worcester County that health care is largely managed by the private sector with support from the county’s health department. The government should when required support health care agencies to the greatest extent, while also backing our fire and EMS services to ensure first responders are available to answer and service emergency calls to get our residents to the medical providers.
  

• Utility funds management: Water and wastewater rates have been increased significantly due to the county mismanaging its utility funds. I believe the county should use reserve dollars to mitigate the massive deficits that exist between revenues and expenditures and then create a workable plan to make them self-sustainable over a period of 3-5 years.
