Mr. Shepherd’s 40-year career with the St. Mary’s County Government was stellar. Over the past seven years the Department of Recreation and Parks thrived under his leadership. He was devoted to his work and the community. If elected, he has everything it takes to be an effective commissioner with an eye on conservative and practical fiscal management.

Arthur Shepherd has spent his whole adult life looking out for the recreational needs of youth and adults in St. Mary’s County. He has been an instrumental force in leading the development of parks, facilities, and programs that continue to bring our county forward. Arthur genuinely cares about our community and has devoted countless hours volunteering and staying in touch with our needs. I cannot think of a better man to represent the people of St. Mary’s County as one of our County Commissioners.

I hate politics but LOVE this man. For 30 YEARS Art Shepherd has helped me raise $ and awareness for Hospice of St. Mary’s County. Together we have raised over $1Million for hospice with ALL of it staying in St. Mary’s County to assist those in our community facing a terminal illness. Death DOESN’T CARE what your political affiliation is & in the end it does not matter. What matters is humanity – caring for those in our community. Art understands this & GENUINELY cares for our neighbors. THAT is why I will always support Shep.

Arthur Shepherd is a man of character and integrity and I am confident he will serve St. Mary’s County very well as commissioner. He also exhibits strong leadership. I have seen him firsthand as a servant leader in the church, whether it is in men’s or children’s ministry or leading through preaching when called upon. The County will be fortunate to have him as our commissioner!
