Kelly Madigan leaves Baltimore County's first Inspector General role in Jan 2026 to lead Howard County’s new oversight office after a contentious reappointment fight.
Kelly Madigan, Baltimore County’s first Inspector General, is leaving her role effective January 2, 2026, to become Howard County’s first Inspector General.
Her departure follows a contentious reappointment battle with County Executive Melissa Dickerson Klausmeier, who initially rejected her renewal, prompting a county council standoff.
After public and political pressure, Klausmeier withdrew her nominee, allowing Madigan to continue as a holdover.
Madigan cited lack of job protections during the holdover period as a key reason for stepping down, emphasizing the need for fixed terms in the IG role.
She will now lead Howard County’s new oversight office, while legislation to create an independent selection panel for future inspectors general moves toward a 2026 voter referendum.
